        Verdict

        Ger Lyons has a strong hand with JUNCTURE and Georgeta. Colin Keane would have struggled to do the weight on the latter, an impressive winner of a Gowran maiden, though would probably have chosen the top weight anyway as he was on board when she won a Dundalk Listed race easily before finishing down the field in the 1000 Guineas at Newmarket. Miss Mirabell could hardly have been more impressive in a Gowran maiden while Voice Of Angels ran in smart company last season and will be better for her run at Gowran last month. Dark Vega looked just in need of the run over 7f here three weeks ago.
