Verdict

Certainly the most competitive race on the card with four of the six runners coming here on the back of a recent victory. Sweet As Candy is of obvious interest on his handicap debut from a yard that have been in fine form of late although he’ll need to progress again giving weight away all round in testing conditions over the longest trip he’s tried. The Delray Munky not only comes here on a hat-trick but also has an unbeaten record at Ayr to defend over a trip that is further than her two victories; she failed when tried over this sort of trip before. Phil Kirby runs two here both who won last time out with the inconsistent Transient Bay picking up his usual Uttoxeter race and SKIPTHESCALES winning at Newcastle showing plenty of resolution and conditions won’t be a worry. The two that complete the field can’t be totally ruled out Dedigout being very well handicapped on his old form and Durbanville should appreciate this return to 3m.
