Catterick Bridge Race 2 - Berber Leather Mdn Stakes (Gbb Race)
LADY GORMIRE (5) has been given a few chances this year. Produced her best when 1.25L second in a course and distance handicap two runs back. Can make the breakthrough revisiting this venue. ROYALE UNION (7) went down by only a short head in a 1200m fillies event at Ripon three weeks ago. Represents a leading yard and unlikely to be far away at the finish. MOONLIGHT MELODY (6) outran large odds when 4L fifth tackling the track and trip combination early last month. Should continue progress. SOCA STAR (8) is looking pretty exposed after no win in twelve outings. Tries 1400m for the first occasion here. Each way player.

Most recently 5th of 7 at Epsom Downs on July 30 over 1200m, 3.5 len behind Sugar Sugar with 61kg at $4. The start before that 2nd in a small field at this track on July 8 over 1400m, 1.3 len behind Velvet Rhythm carrying 58.5kg at $7. Can improve on the latest effort and is well-placed to take this out.

At the latest run 5th of 8 at Wolverhampton on August 18 over 1200m, 2.25 len behind Fizzy Cristal carrying 58kg at $34. The race before that got back early 5th of 8 at Pontefract on June 29 over 1000m, 2.25 len behind Hover On The Wind carrying 61kg at $29. Capable of building on that performance and she looks one of the main chances.
