Verdict
Bermuda Beauty gets the nod over Song Huntress in a poor contest, with No Overtime the other main player. Bermuda Beauty has been placed four times in her seven starts, and is only selling grade at best, but she is game and consistent enough, and should once again be involved in the finish. A look at her last outing at Wolverhampton reveals that she finished ahead of Song Huntress despite being bumped in the closing stages, and she should once again have that one's measure. No Overtime was slowly away when fourth in similar company over the course and distance 17 days ago, while Jack It is definitely not one of Mick Channon's better juveniles and has an absence to overcome, having finished last of seven at Catterick in April. With Saleem Golam taking five pounds off her back, Bermuda Beauty should be hard to beat.
