3:05 Ayr Tips

She's a fairly consistent type, regardless of her destination. However, her last two runs at Ayr have been wins in listed races. Today she is 4 lbs lower than her last run, which I'm willing to ignore for now. She should be thereabouts.

Won the Harry Rosebery Stakes here last year with Billy the Kid on board. Looks primed to strike again at this meeting after winning a York 5f Heritage Handicap LTO, beating Eternal Sunshine who franked the form winning the Portland at the weekend.

Star Of Lady M made them all go in this race last year, making all and has been lightly raced since. But made a pleasing return in the Bullet, which would have put it straight. Tudhope back up today and the headgear goes on.

Last chance saloon for this one. Has been running in top handicaps, and this slightly longer trip on softer ground may well suit and is worth chancing each way.

Billie Be Quick (IRE) is a 3-year-old bay filly by Belardo out of Vibe Queen (Invincible Spirit), trained by Mrs J Harrington, with David Egan in the saddle. She contests this Listed sprint off an official rating of 81. She opened her season with a strong win at Down Royal over 5f, and ran well in a Bellewstown handicap when a close second??'despite being held up too far back, suggesting she’ll benefit from a clearer trip. Though she has been outclassed in graded company, this drop back to a sprint with a slightly lower level feels more her game. The blinkers replacing the visor add interest; they may sharpen her focus in a race where speed and positioning are key. With Egan aboard over 5f and on softer ground i personally think this selection is overpriced despite the task ahead. Ive said it before I like egan over 5f and he cant send a big price up there in the mix.
