Verdict

FLORA OF BERMUDA failed to get her head in front in 2025 but posted some good efforts in top sprint company and looks to have been found an excellent opportunity to resume winning ways here. Sayidah Dariyan goes well fresh and could prove the chief threat on her return ahead of Sky Majesty and Celandine.
