Verdict

This is fiercely competitive but WINDTOTHELIGHTNING still appears to have a lot of improvement left in her and she's fancied to complete a hat-trick. Dollar Bae and Lone Star, another pair of improving types, could pose a serious threat, while there are a whole host of others for whom a case can be made.
