Ayr Racing Tips: Get Flying Moon on side at 9/4

NAP

Ayr - 18:30 - Back Flying Moon

Flying Moon is a three-time course and distance winner who finished a length behind the reopposing Royal Countess when second on his seasonal reappearance earlier this month.

He ran well enough after seven months off, however, held up in the early stages but making good headway entering the straight and he took up the lead two furlongs from home. He left the impression that he would come on for the run in the closing stages and he is taken to reverse form with Royal Countess on revised terms.

NEXT BEST

Ayr - 19:30 - Back Sosallycanwait

This race won't take much winning and Sosallycanwait may be able to belatedly open her account. She remains a maiden after 18 starts but the overall level of her form gives her solid claims in this contest and she ran a good race back on turf when a close fifth in a big-field handicap at Naas this month. A repeat of that performance should be good enough to see her come home in front.

EACH WAY

Ayr - 19:00 - Back Fast And Loose

Fast And Loose didn't need to improve much to open his account in first-time cheekpieces in what wasn't a deep race at Catterick last summer but he went on to finish runner-up in the Ayr Bronze Cup over course and distance later in the season.

He was very easy to back on his return to action in heavy ground at Doncaster when third to Woven, and shaped as though the run was needed. He appeals as a horse who will do even better as a four-year-old, though, and is worth backing to overturn that form back on a sounder surface.
