        Verdict

        FRIENDLY is a full-sister to seven winners including three at Group level and a half-sister to three more including a two-year-old Group 1 winner. Palifico is out of a mare who won over a mile as a juvenile and is from a high-class family while her stable companion Windsor Pass is the first foal of an unraced mare from the family of the brilliant Ravens Pass. A Ma Chere is a half-sister to a couple of winners and out of a mare who finished second in the Irish 1000 Guineas while Bubbles On Ice is a half-sister to five winners. Takeko looked in need of experience at Fairyhouse but got no sort of run or would have finished very much closer.
