Strong tempo with Bright Show and Third Master leading from Tancredi and Seminara. ONE MORE STAR (10) made good late inroads on debut last start and is sure to have come on with that run under her belt. Gets a key booking in Crowther and rates a leading chance. PAMIERS (4) failed to live up to market expectations on debut but did catch the eye late. Draws to go back again but should be making his presence felt at the business end. GINGER SINNER (3) showed positive signs in his debut prep but now returns for a new stable. Right in this with any improvement. EFFUSIV (14) went amiss on debut when in the market but her two trials prior to her first start were promising. Can improve sharply at her second start. SUGGESTED PLAY: Siding with One More Star.
