The Bachelorette silk
The Bachelorette
J: K De Melo
T: S G Tarry
Sibling of Tight Five (7f winner); September foal; S G Tarry team does well at Turffontein with debutants; should go close as some good aspects to her profile and she has a good draw.

Verdict

There is not much between those likely to be involved in the shake-up. The Bachelorette is well drawn and should be in the mix while The Bachelorette and Love Not War are bred for the job in hand. However, MOONFACE is worth siding with. She has enough to like about her pedigree.
