Verdict

Second to an improver at Dundalk on her return, BULLET BOURBON hasn't matched that form in 2 outings since but she's worth another chance from her reduced mark. She gets the vote ahead of Imnotleavinyou who can be thereabouts once more, with Sweet Baby Zou also considered making only her second handicap start.
