Youghal Race 2 - 525 Yds (A7)
BAND OF VELVET (2) was well fancied in betting last start but could only manage 5.5 lengths away in third (29.95). Has performed well from this box with a win and six minor placings to her name from 12 starts. Overdue and is among the main hopes. SLANEYSIDE NOIR (5) had second look this course and distance latest and improved on her time, finishing a 9 length second in 30.06. Top run latest and can measure up here. CORRIN DOROTHY (6) returned a better run last time, finishing in the money (30.05) at this track behind Laurens Princess in an A7. Settled off speed and worked to the line nicely. Expected to feature. KIND BESSY (3) is not to be discarded.

Below best last start when she finished 4th over 480m at this track beaten 5.5 lengths (29.96) behind Hollyhill Jayden in an A6 on August 3. Prepared to risk this time.

In the money at this track at her last couple of starts, most recently finishing third over 480m. Won't find this any tougher. Right in this.

Didn't fire two runs back then progressed nicely last time to finish third over 480m at this track. Cannot enthuse despite that better recent effort.

Heading in the right direction and looks close to a maiden win. Solid last time when on speed early before fading to finish second (30.06) at this track over 480m. Likely to be much improved on the experience.

Finished sixth two starts ago then regained form last time out when she found a couple better over 480m in an A7 at this track. Sure to be in the mix again.
