Ayr 3/6/09

[fintron]

3.50 Ayr Bo McGinty has the class to win this handicap and can land the honours for the inform Richard Fahey yard. The trainer has put up claiming jockeys Lee Topliss and Fredi Tylicki for his last three starts, but stable jockey Paul Hanagan takes over this afternoon and I'm taking that as a good sign. The gelding is undeniably well handicapped - he's won off 83 in this grade previously and is allowed to race off a a 7 lb lower mark for this after several unplaced efforts in larger fields of late. He wasn't beaten far off similar marks to this around March-April time at Wolverhampton and then Beverley, which suggest he can operate off 76, and with a visor re-applied (was worn for both of those aforementioned runs but no headgear on for last three starts) I think a big run could be on the cards here. 5/1 Lads, 1 pt

Re: Ayr 3/6/09 3.20 Ayr - DORN DANCER (1pt Win) Well worth a try over this trip judging on his recent performances when getting going all too late. If he is to get a mile then today is the day as Ayr is one of the easiest courses in the country, and the fast ground will be to his advantage aswell. Very well handicapped on the best of his form and has a useful apprentice taking weight off. Looks overpriced at 12/1 and worth a little bet.
