Verdict

It's difficult to oppose DINOBLUE who stands out on these terms and ought to prove very tough to beat in her bid to land this race for the second consecutive season with sterner assignments lying in wait. Uhavemeinstitches shades preference for the forecast over Bioluminescence in what could be a clean sweep for J P. McManus.
