Verdict

Competitive contest. The well-related MISS FUNNY HONEY (13) (half to G1 winner Vega One) resumes here but didn't do much wrong in her first preparation with a win and a second from just two outings. Tuned up for this with two recent trials and maps perfectly from the inside marble. Should be right there when the judge calls a halt. NORTH POLE (8) also hails from a handy family (half to G3 winner and G2 placed Global Quest) and will strip fitter second-up from the spell. Has placed two from two around this circuit and can make his presence felt. ABENDER (6) is an honest commodity who has only missed the top four once in six career efforts. Top-three contender. TAKE A BOW (9) is a last-start winner who shouldn't be slept on. FABULANTES (7) is another with a classy relation (full to G1 winner Startantes) and is next in line while fresh.
