Re: Ayr | Saturday 21st June 2008 5.30 REAL RADIO HANDICAP (CLASS 4) (3yo,0-85) Winner £6,476.00 5f GD-FM

Just 6 go to post for this class 4 handicap for 3 year olds over 5f.

I CONFESS is the top weight. Still a maiden after 9 starts, but with 5 places to his name. Didn’t show enough LTO off the same mark and at first attempt at 5f to suggest he could get his head in front here.

ROCKING is making is seasonal reappearance today after 288 off course. Won a Windsor maiden a year ago on GS but hasn’t shown much since and only beat 1 home over 6f latest and ground probably not ideal.

Front running MARYOLINI has won twice, both at 6f on the AW at Wolverhampton. This is only her 2^nd attempt at 5f (1^st was racecourse debut) so hard to see how she will take to it, especially with BARRALAND likely to take her on for the lead. BARRALAND has won twice over 5f but both were in class 5’s on Good ground. Is only 1lb higher than that last win but has only made the frame once in 9 starts on GF.

DISCANTI runs off a career high mark today after a win in a class 6 on GF ground 2 starts ago. Was 3^rd LTO in what looks a pretty tasty heat as the winner and 2^nd have both won since. Beat BARRALAND home that day by 9l and should have him held today. The pace of the race should be ran to suit the Tim Easterby trained gelding and has an outstanding chance imho.

KILLER CLASS obviously prefers a lot more cut in the ground – 3 wins have been on GS (x2) and Soft. Is still 6lb higher than last winning mark and looks to have it all to do, stepping up in trip also.

DISCANTI if building on his last run, has a sterling chance to take this. Jockey knows the horse inside out and the trainer and jockey won this race last year. Not much of a price, but a favourites chance. WIN
