Verdict
TURICA was one of the main sufferers in the chaos at the final flight of a Wexford maiden on St Patrick's Day when she was brought down. She probably wouldn't have beaten the favourite Some Drama, who fell in front of her, but would have finished second best and this is no tougher. She's handed the vote in front of Miss Palm, a dual winning point-to-pointer whose best run over hurdles came at 2m4f. Mac Idol has shown the occasional glimmer of form but Meitheamh would be a bigger threat at her best though she has become inconsistent.
