SOLWAY ERNIE (6) drew the outside trap and was game in defeat when only 1.3 lengths from the winner Nanna Betty (29.42) at this track. Goes well out of this box with a win and eight minor placings. Top chance in this line up. SOLWAY DREAM (2) has a strong overall record having seven wins and 11 places from 25 starts including a last start second (29.26) over 480m at this track. Goes well from this trap. Will go close here with a clear run. FABULOUS REQUEST (3) held her own to the line last start and filled a minor placing, beaten only one length (29.26) behind Tinnock Mystery at this track. Although beaten ran one of the quickest times on the card last start. Expecting another good run. WHITEHILLS BIRDY (4) found the frame for the second consecutive time when narrowly beaten into second last time out (29.37) over 480m at this track.

Could only manage fifth last time out over 480m at this track, a continuation of some ordinary form. Not likely to feature on this occasion.

Unplaced two runs back then made impressive progress last time to be beaten just one length into second over 480m at this track. Sure to be most competitive again.

Racing well of late. In the money two starts back at this track then finished runner-up at her latest appearance in an A4 at this track over 480m (29.37). In solid form and can win without surprising.
