Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Charles Bishop| T: Eve Johnson Houghton

13/2

Forecasts

Picture Frame (2/1), Onassis (9/4), Star Spirit (5/2), Zulu Girl (13/2), Willa (12/1), Golden Lips (16/1), Staycee (20/1), Incognito (25/1), Pearl Beach (40/1), Princess Carly (50/1), Little Tipsy (66/1)

Although a couple of these have shown ability the intrigue of some beautifully bred newcomers is too great to resist with STAR SPIRIT, the first foal out of connections French Oaks heroine Jacqueline Quest particularly appealing. Onassis is every bit as appealing on pedigree as a sister to three above-average winners. Picture Frame has had excuses for both of her defeats so far and with a clear run here she ought to go well.
