Tip
Whiskey Kisses
Verdict
Whiskey Kisses is our selection at Ayr, rated the best of these seven with a battling third last time out to back it up. Water Of Leith and Mount Ruapehu are only narrowly behind on our figures, both without a win in a run of recent starts, while Harlequin Bay's earlier placing form keeps him in the picture too. It's a tightly graded field with barely a rating point separating the front three, but Whiskey Kisses holds a narrow edge and gets the vote.

Comment
Water Of Leith has filled the frame without a win, a third two starts back his best effort. Fresh seven days ago, and having already raced over today's trip and going, he's our second-highest-rated in this seven-runner field but needs to finally get his head in front.

Comment
Mount Ruapehu has been well beaten in recent starts, without a win in six runs, though a second stands out earlier in that sequence. Fresh eleven days ago and having already raced over today's trip and going, he's up to our third-highest rating here from stall three, but the recent finishing positions are hard to ignore.

Comment
Harlequin Bay's placing form - two seconds and a third among his last five starts - came before two blank efforts in his most recent two runs. He's back after 34 days off, has already raced over today's trip and going, and sits fourth of seven on our figures without a win to his name yet.

Comment
Whiskey Kisses justifies top billing on our figures, a battling third last time out the standout in a mixed sequence. Seven days on from that run, and having already raced over today's trip and going, she carries a leading speed figure in this field and rates the one to be positive about, without a win to date.

Cotai Starlight6-358▾Jason Hart · Katie Scott

Comment
Cotai Starlight is held together by a third three starts back, sandwiched between modest efforts either side, and she's without a win in her last four starts. Twenty days since her latest run, she has raced over today's distance before and holds an each-way squeak on our figures in midfield of this seven-runner field.

Comment
Royal Duke has been well beaten in most of his last six starts, though a third four starts back shows he has some ability. Fresh seven days ago and with today's trip and going already under his belt, he's toward the bottom of our ratings here and hard to fancy without a win to his name.

Comment
Summerstorms Dream is our bottom-rated runner in this seven-strong field, though a third four starts back, and a fourth five starts back, hint at some encouragement in the deeper form. Fifteen days since her latest run, and with today's trip and going already in the book, she remains without a win and faces a tough task from here.
