Hermana Estrella³⁴

Weight: 8-9| Age: 3

T: J A Stack J: J P Spencer

Forecasts

Power Under Me (15/8), Pirate Jenny (11/4), Teresa Mendoza (4/1), Measure Of Magic (5/1), Hermana Estrella (5/1), Prisoner's Dilemma (18/1), Prettiest (18/1), Beautiful Sunshine (25/1), Saliteh (28/1), Majestic Colt (50/1), Siesta Beach (50/1)

Ger Lyons looks to hold a strong hand here and his improving filly PIRATE JENNY is taken to emerge on top from stable-companion Power Under Me, who also has the form to play a leading role. Measure of Magic needs factoring in too, especially if the fitting of a visor ekes out some improvement.
