Ayr Race 8 - 'Ladbrokes Play 1-2-Free' Hcp
BECKON (4) Fresh after a break. Nice run when 3rd last time at Southwell and going down in grade. Has plenty of early speed. First race for a new trainer. Ticks plenty of boxes and looks like value . PARODA DIVA (6) First run back from a break. Was competitive when 2nd last run at Ripon and stepping down to a lower level. Definite claims. HATAMOTO (9) Lost momentum late when 6th last time at Southwell and competing at a lower grade. Shows good closing speed. Very competitive this campaign. Has to be included. KEEP AN EYE ON IT (3) Resuming after a break. Amongst the placegetters when 3rd last time at Musselburgh and drops back to a suitable class. Has a nice advantage with a good draw. No surprise to see a forward showing and one of the main hopes in this race.

Was $15.00 and came in 4th last start at Beverley but up against a less competitive field. Respect the betting.

Odds of $81.00 and weakened under pressure when 9th last time at Wetherby but has been racing in stronger company. Will be giving the leaders a big start. Not threatening these.
