A fast and furious sprint to finish off the action on the first day of Flat action at Musselburgh this year. Those drawn low can often struggle over the straight track and it often pays to be among the higher numbers and stands side. Paul Midgley has some good earlier chances on the card and one of his duo here TWENTYSVNTHLANCERS who is a sporting pick from the 9 stall. Reckless Serenade from stall 11 also looks of interest with a recent run under her belt. The three-year-old Havelock will catch the attention of many but that age group can find things tough against their elders at this time of year. Royal Brave often travels well in his races but does need a little bit of luck while Lydia’s Place looks near to picking up a race such as this.
- Twentysvnthlancers
