Friday’s racing program at Ffos Las promises a full schedule, with flat racing broadcast live on Sky Sports Racing. The day kicks off with the Ascona Ladies Fuelled By Fashion Handicap, a high‑profile contest featuring six runners, headlined by the seasoned Sixtygeesbaby and the promising Safari Dream. Sixtygeesbaby has been hinting at a return to form in his recent outings. After a series of modest performances, he secured a win in a Carlisle handicap earlier this month, suggesting he could be competitive again at Ffos Las.
His experience and recent victory make him a legitimate contender in the opening race, and connections will be eager to see if he can replicate that success on the new surface. Safari Dream, trained by Rod Millman and ridden by Finley Marsh, presents another strong option.
Historically rated higher than his current handicap, the horse has bounced back impressively, winning over the same course and distance not long ago. Despite a modest two‑pound weight increase, his recent form indicates he still possesses the class to challenge for the win, especially if he can settle well and make a decisive move in the closing stages. Among the remaining entries, Pull The Rug stands out as a potential pick. While the field is relatively small, the horse’s recent performances suggest it could surprise the market and secure a respectable placing.
Later in the day, at 3:20 pm, the Ascona Ladies In Lace Maiden Stakes offers a tightly contested race with just three runners. Korbut, a filly who has earned a silver medal in five of her seven starts and has won her last four outings this summer, is rated at 73.
If she can reproduce the speed and stamina displayed in her recent turf run, she will likely launch a bold bid for victory. Marcus Tregoning saddles Reader, a lightly raced colt whose official figures are modest but who may have untapped stamina for the extra distance. The horse’s pedigree and training suggest he could improve as the race unfolds, especially if he is settled early and given a clear run. Likeness, making a debut for trainer Jack Channon after departing the George Boughey stable, is rated at 74 and will be watched closely.
After a 138‑day spell, the filly’s return to the track could spark interest among bettors, particularly if she shows the same turn of foot that earned her high ratings previously. Fans are encouraged to stay up‑to‑date with the latest racing news, interviews, and features via their mobile devices, ensuring they never miss a story from the world of horse racing. At 2:45 pm, the Ascona Ladies Chic Fashion Handicap pits Kaleidoscope Eyes against Oviedo. Oviedo, who placed third in an Acomb race back in 2022, has stepped down in class to contest a race for the Alexandra Dunn yard.
He demonstrated his lingering ability by winning by an astonishing twelve lengths at Ffos Las last week, and he now carries a five‑pound penalty, positioning him as a strong contender. Kaleidoscope Eyes, though not a frequent winner, has shown improvement. After narrowly missing out in a July meeting at the same venue, she rebounded with a victory in her most recent start and could well repeat that performance today, especially if the pace suits her running style.
Other notable runners include Cypriot Diaspora, trained by Rod Millman, who may also make an impact in the field. For comprehensive coverage of horse racing, including the latest news, in‑depth interviews, and feature stories, viewers can turn to Sky Sports Racing’s platforms.
The card also features a 2:15 pm race featuring Clairefontaine, described as an intriguing contest that could produce an unexpected result, adding further excitement to an already packed day of racing at Ffos Las.
