In depth
Verdict
Could be a contested lead in the early stages with Cloneen Choice and Massinis Adventure vying for the lead with Mollies Gent racing prominently. The pace should be ideal for OPEN TO THE WORLD to get a decent pull in to the contest. Miss Blanche who can be forgiven her last run and Naughty Molly can take the minor honours.
