WITCHES PIP (2) was well in the market last time but only managed fourth (30.00), beaten 2.75 lengths. Was in the money the start prior. Can bounce back. AFFANE RAINBOW (5) sprung the lids and on speed throughout before being run over late when fourth (29.98) at this track over 480m. Key runner on best form. ASHVILLE CHIP (3) settled midfield in the run and boxed on to finish there when 5th (30.01) at this track. Worth following up. BAND OF VELVET (1) was strongly fancied last time but ran below expectations when sixth (29.86), beaten 8 lengths. The form out of last race has been strong.

In the money two back then disappointed when she finished last on February 28 over 480m at this track behind Lyreen Pearl beaten 8 lengths (29.86) in an A5. Expect improvement on the latest effort. Great chance to atone.

In the money two back then disappointed when he finished 4th over 480m at this track beaten 2.75 lengths (30.00) behind Mary Jo in an A6 on March 23. Thereabouts at the last couple. Suited here and likely to run well.

Latest effort finished 4th in an A7 on March 16 over 480m at this track behind Almighty Orla beaten 1.3 lengths (29.98). Has been around the mark at her last couple and should make her presence felt.
