Star Of The Desert²¹

9/2

Picked up for only 2,000 gns earlier in the year but appeared to show plenty of ability when 50/1 second of 13 on 1m Southwell debut 3 weeks ago, proving no match for a useful sort but clear of the rest. Entitled to progress.

Form: 2

13/8

Kingman filly who shaped well amidst inexperience when third of 12 in novice at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) on debut 25 days ago. Sure to improve.

11/8

Well-bred filly who left last autumn's Doncaster debut behind when second of 9 in 7.4f Ffos Las maiden on reappearance 16 days ago. From an excellent family and should go on improving.

Forecasts

Wid (11/8), Bella Angelina (13/8), Star Of The Desert (9/2), Leopards Rock (8/1), Rake Lane (125/1), Blairtum Night (200/1)

There was plenty to like about BELLA ANGELINA's opening third at Doncaster and she's narrowly preferred to Ralph Beckett's Ffos Las runner-up Wid.
