We have a busy day’s racing on Friday with flat action from Ffos Las, live on Sky Sports Racing... The opening Ascona Ladies Fuelled By Fashion Handicap is a belter where Sixtygeesbaby and Safari Dream headline six runners. Sixtygeesbaby had been showing signs of a revival on his last few starts before claiming a Carlisle handicap earlier this month and a similar effort would put him in the mix.
Safari Dream looks an obvious threat for Rod Millman and Finley Marsh. Rated much higher in the past, he bounced back to winning form over this course and distance and makes plenty of appeal despite a two-pound rise. Pull The Rug could be the pick of the remainder.
A trappy affair with just the three runners for this Ascona Ladies In Lace Maiden Stakes at 3.20pm. Korbut has claimed silver on five of her seven starts including the last four runs this summer. Rated 73, she should make a bold bid if able to reproduce her latest run back on the turf.
Marcus Tregoning saddles Reader who has a little to find of official figures but is lightly raced and may have more to give over this extra distance. Likeness will be popular as he makes his debut for Jack Channon having left the George Boughey team. Top-rated on 74, she will need to be monitored in the betting on this return from 138 days off.
Never miss a story with all the latest racing news, interviews and features on your phone. Find out more Kaleidoscope Eyes and Oviedo face off in the Ascona Ladies Chic Fashion Handicap at 2.45pm. Oviedo was third in an Acomb back in 2022 and he now contests much shallower waters for the Alexandra Dunn yard.
He showed he still retains plenty of ability when winning by a staggering 12 lengths at this track last week and he is well-in under this five-pound penalty. Kaleidoscope Eyes is an infrequent winner but, having been narrowly denied here in July, she went two better when scoring on her last start and can go well again here. Others to note include Rod Millman's Cypriot Diaspora.
