    Verdict

    The top three all have the same official rating which makes things tough but UNDERSTATE looks to be going very much the right way, having progressed with each of his three races and there being no reason why he should not do so again. In contrast, Spiorad Saoirse and Overcoming have been finding things somewhat tougher and both may appreciate moving out of handicaps, with the Slattery inmate preferred of the pair and seen as the main threat. True To Herself receives the valuable fillies' allowance and progressed well from debut to oblige last time. She should give a decent account on these terms and provide the boys with something to think about.
