Reasoning	Stepped up from a Class 6 to a Class 4 last time out and won. She made all the running winning by ¾ lengths to the 3yo’s Ballinargh Girl and Berberana. She bids for her fourth straight win today. Although she made all last time out she does not need to have the lead which is nice. Her two other wins was from being close up and tracking the leaders. Jockey Julie Burke is booked and she’s ridden 4 wins from 10 this year for trainer Alan Berry. She’s ridden the most winners for Berry this year with the four wins coming from three different horses.

Reasoning	Another solid outing on slower ground last time out. Finished 5th of 11 by 4 ¼ lengths in a Class 4 Handicap at York (1m). Finished 4th of 7 by 3 ¾ lengths on Good to Soft and Newcastle (1m) three runs ago. 2nd by a head in the run before that at Hamilton (1m). I think she will be successful on her first run at this track. Trainer Richard Fahey has a 33% strike rate here this year with 8 winners from 24 runners. Jockey Paul Hanagan is booked and he has a 35% strike rate here this year with 11 winners from 31 runners. The partnership has one other runner in the meeting and that runs in the 16:15. They go into today having won their last three entries.
