Top Betting Offers To Take Advantage Of Today

Ayr take centre stage this afternoon with a high-quality sprint card headlined by the Arran Scottish Sprint EBF Fillies’ Stakes at 3:05. The Listed feature brings together a fascinating blend of hardened older sprinters and upwardly mobile three-year-olds, with pace angles drawn across the line and several with compelling course credentials.

Market interest has converged around Star Of Mehmas and Beautiful Diamond, while last year’s winner Star Of Lady M returns after an eye-catching reappearance effort. Depth is added by the likes of Magic Basma, who advertised Listed ability at Pontefract, and Stormy Impact, whose recent finishing position arguably masked better underlying form.

The supporting cast includes Luna A Inbhir Nis, a local specialist with perfect figures at the track and trip, and the progressive Tiva, arriving on a sequence that has propelled her from handicaps into black-type company. Sophia’s Starlight, Nad Alshiba Green and Lady Of Andros contribute further speed, and there is juvenile-tide resilience in Star Of Mehmas, who has already handled Ayr’s unique demands. With prominent racers sprinkled through single-figure stalls and live closers sprinkled wider, tactical shape should matter as much as raw ratings on ground that tends to reward those who sustain speed over the extra 110 yards.

Nap of the Day: Star Of Lady M to win – 3.05 Ayr

The case for Star Of Lady M is rooted in proven course suitability and an encouraging profile for today’s demands. She made all to land this very race last term, demonstrating that she can stretch 5f speed over the 5½f configuration at Ayr, and her record at the venue is immaculate (1-1 at the course; 1-1 at the course and distance). After a 309-day break she returned with a Listed third in the Beverley Bullet on 30 August, finishing 3rd of 9 and beaten 4 lengths under 8-13 at 22/1, which reads markedly better than the bare margin given the calibre of that sprint and the ring-rust she was entitled to shed. Her recent form-cycle through the summer prior to that layoff showed a re-ascendance in handicaps, climbing from an 82–87 base to land races at Thirsk, Lingfield (AW) and York, culminating in a dominant 4¼-length success in a valuable York sprint before lifting a Ayr Listed over this very trip on 20 September last year. She retains a lofty RPR peak of 120 and arrives here with an official mark of 108, the highest in this field on today’s carded ratings, which confers class edge.

Tactically, she is well served by a run-style that can boss proceedings if allowed to stride, and Daniel Tudhope knows how to measure fractions on her—witness the York win and prior all-the-way tactics in this contest. While the jockey’s recent headline strike-rate (1-30, 3%) is modest, the combination’s historical synergy and this mare’s straightforward speed should mitigate any concern. Trainer David O’Meara’s team have been ticking over (4-58, 7% last 14 days), and his sprinters often progress for a comeback run, exactly as the Beverley third hinted.

Rival threats exist: Beautiful Diamond is 2-2 at Ayr in Listed grade, Magic Basma announced herself with a Pontefract second, and Star Of Mehmas comes here off a strong York handicap triumph. Even so, Star Of Lady M brings the most compelling blend of track craft, peak figure (RPR 120), and proven stamina for the stiff finish at 5½f. With her Beverley spin likely to have sharpened her, she can assert once more around a circuit that clearly suits.
