Ayr Race 1 - Magners Original Cider Restricted Mdn Stakes (Gbb Race)
STONEACRE JOE (7) performed below expectations when fourth tackling 1000m at Catterick as favourite but was still only beaten 4L after racing prominently. Step up in trip could suit and looks the one to beat. TIDE RUNNER (4) shaped well on debut among stronger company running third attempting 1000m at Beverley beaten 1.3L. Should improve plenty for that first experience. Represents the main danger. SAND SEA (1) needed the run when midfield at Thirsk making return and holds ability to feature. Makes appeal. STAR WITH PURPOSE (6) was third contesting 1200m at Pontefract defeated 4.5L. Can build again and not discounted.

At debut, 3rd in a small field at Beverley on May 12 over 1000m, 1.3 len behind Merlier carrying 59kg at $17. Better for that experience and can open his account.

Having third race start. At very big odds at debut, 7th of 10 at Doncaster on May 16 over 1200m, 9 len behind The Untamed with 59kg at $51. Second-up 7th of 9 at Thirsk on June 5 over 1400m, 11 len behind Eagle Bay carrying 60kg at $17. Will need to improve sharply.

Most recently 4th in a small field at Catterick on May 30 over 1000m, 4 len behind Forest Phoenix with 59kg at $2.10. Before that 8th of 11 at Haydock Park on May 21 over 1200m, on a slow track; 17 len behind There's A Chance carrying 61kg at $6.50. Better than that and is a leading player.

Second-up. First start ran second last of 8 at this track on September 30 over 1200m, slow going 22 len behind Daizen with 58kg at $21. Went for a break before returning 4th in a small field at Catterick on April 22 over 1400m, 8 len behind Borjina with 56kg at $26. Strips fitter and expected to feature.

First-starter by Awtaad out of Art Of Persuasion. Hard to recommend without a market push.
