Catterick Bridge Race 7 - Racing Again 30Th May Fillies' Handicap
VELVET RHYTHM (8) brings the standout last-start win, scoring at Newmarket over 1408m by 0.75L on May 2, and draws well to repeat up in trip. AMELIA'S JOY (3) is a key chance after two Wolverhampton 1441m wins in March and April, with a close Southwell 1621m second in between. BLUFFERONTHEBUS (4) appeals on recent form, 4th at Newcastle over 1420m two starts back before a sound Beverley 1700m run. HOMESTRAIT (6) was a close 4th here over 1199m last time and owns a prior 1413m win, so the step back up suits.

Back in trip by 196m and up 2kg after a tough last start at Ripon over 1609m on 25 Apr, 10th of 10 beaten 17.25L on good at $51. Prior runs last season were mixed, highlighted by a win at Ayr over 1609m on 28 Apr when leading throughout. Now a 4yo filly for T D Easterby with Sean Kirrane up and hood on first time. Needs to lift but can improve with the gear change.
