Using a tag-team strategy, Venables, Bell & Partners and Eleven appear to have the inside track in the race for the Barclays Global Investors business, an account worth roughly $10-20 million, sources said.

The San Francisco tandem was scheduled to make a final presentation last week, competing against crosstown shop TBWA\Chiat\Day. However, the latter withdrew from the pitch because of unspe cified differences with the client. Details were not immediately available.

Barclays was expected to make a quick decision following the final pitches, sources said.
