        Verdict

        Approaching Storm ran promisingly behind Frenchman's Bay on her return and confirmed the impression with a decisive Windsor maiden win ofer an extended mile in April. More to do here off top weight on handicap bow but step up in trip should suit and open to plenty of improvement. Sticky Green just held on over a mile and a half in a Hamilton maiden having looked likely to score easily after quickening clear two out and this may prove to be her optimum trip. Prins Willem won a Windsor handicap off 65 in comfortable style but ran below expectations over the same C&D latest but Effie Gray showed the benefit of an outing when a fair third at Redcar last time and can't be discounted off the same mark.
