Verdict
A shocking turnout but that won't concern connections of COLOUR OF LOVE, whose overall form is far superior to that of her rivals and include a very good fourth in Listed company last time. This may prove a tactical affair so neither of her rivals can be ruled out and Modern Romance may prove the best of the pair as she gained a debut success on very heavy going at Roscommon last September. Lady Pastrana's only success was also at Roscommon but on very fast ground and she's won't get that here.
