Bedouin Bride

J: L J Ferraris

T: S J Gray

Yet to win, defeats are stacking up; produced an encouraging effort (third of 11, beaten just under 2l) last month here (1m½f); if stepping up from most recent effort looks a likely player

Nitro Girl

Venus Flytrap ought to be in contention although her last run was slightly disappointing while Bedouin Bride and Party Song are perhaps not open to as much improvement as some of these. But AMBERGLO STAR rates a strong tip. She is expected to confirm placings after she got the better of Wonderful Rock and Love Is Live last Tuesday.
