Verdict

STAR OF STATE made a promising debut when runner-up at Fairyhouse last week, beaten only by one with the benefit of experience, and she can build on that effort to open her account. Pink Venom took a big step forward from her first outing and is feared most, with newcomer This That completing the shortlist.

  1. STAR OF STATE (IRE)
  2. PINK VENOM (IRE)
  3. THIS THAT
