        Verdict

        Not a strong contest by any means and one designed for apprentices with limited experience. Ones to keep an eye on are the fairly lightly-raced Mark Brisbourne filly, Dinofelis, Noble Cyrano, Mark Johnston's Thunder Canyon and Mary Reveley's Time Marches On. Kevin Ryan runs his Irish import, Najda, but she would have to improve on what she showed in Ireland.
