Verdict

Jim Bolger's EASTERN LEGEND remains winless but he has kept some very good company this season and looks to have been found an excellent opportunity to get off the mark. The less exposed Withabitofluk has already shown himself to be fairly useful and appeals as the one to chase him home. Fad Eadrainn, Arch Empire and Jony R can fight it out for minor honours.
