Quite a lot of dead wood in there, too, though. Plenty of horses in there with no chance.

On a going day, Darjina would probably make mincemeat out of these, but she doesn't look to be anywhere near her form of old.

Both Natagora and Halfway To Heaven have been given nice long breaks and I think it will out of these two. Natagora probably has better claims considering she ran so well over a trip which was too far last time.

Halfway To Heaven runs in the Nassau instead.

That's gonna be some race with Lush Lashes, both Heaven girls, Passage of time, etc.

Passage of Time makes it very interesting because no one can be really sure if she is back to somethig near her best.

The race is likely to suit Lush Lashes very well, she could be hard to beat
