Verdict

TEOLOGIA has improved with each of her three runs and this Teofilo filly can go one better than her recent Ballinrobe second and open her account. Nermal also has the form to play a big part and is next on the list, while Maxminelli, Espritroyale and Gatlinburg need factoring in for minor honours.
