The Bachelorette

J: K De Melo

T: S G Tarry

Not able to make an impression when seventh despite 6-4 odds in May in a juvenile plate; from a respected yard; hard to dismiss as appeals from a breeding angle and she could step up.

Thorn Bird

J: C Murray

T: M/M De Kock

Sire's stock can be smart performers; conceding experience to all her rivals; big chance with signs of encouragement in profile and her sire is a speed influence.

Form:

Age: 3

Weight: 9-1

OR: -

Days: -

THORN BIRD is expected to get the job done. She is a well-bred newcomer. The Bachelorette looks dangerous while Justhavefun has potential to improve, and Autograph isn't out of it.
