2nd Place    98 - Xemxija Ice Diamond Allforus (Mrs C Bell) a smart, mature 4½-year-old cream, nicely coated and standing firmly over the ground. Attractive, well-proportioned head, in keeping with her overall style. Well-made body with good angulation front and rear. Would benefit from a tighter front. Moved freely in side gait, though her front action needs to settle.
