UK Horse Racing Tips: Musselburgh

READY FREDDIE GO has made the frame on his last couple of starts and Ollie Pears' gelding should go very well once again this evening. Lazyitis outran odds of 50/1 to finish second at Beverley a couple of weeks ago and she could prove to be the main threat to the selection. That said, Day Job and the newcomer Giovinezza are others who merit consideration.
Prediction : 1st Ready Freddie Go 2nd Lazyitis 3rd Day Job

In a moderate contest the marginal preference is for ECONOMIC CRISIS, who is a five-time winner at this venue and she has shown promise in all three previous starts this year. Lucky Beggar is an obvious threat to the selection based on recent form but he is not a prolific winner these days. The shortlist is completed by Ballyare, Northern Society and Obee Jo.
Prediction : 1st Economic Crisis 2nd Lucky Beggar 3rd Ballyare

Rockley Point merits respect having won at Newcastle when last seen in March but the layoff is a concern and the vote goes to IT'S NOT MY FAULT. Paul Midgley's filly was only beaten half a length when third at Catterick earlier in the month and that form gives her a big chance today. Others to note in an open contest are Corton Lass, Valentino Sunrise and Rangefield Express.
Prediction : 1st Its Not My Fault 2nd Rockley Point 3rd Corton Lass

Fashion Advice shaped with lots of promise as a juvenile and warrants plenty of respect on her return to action, but preference is for a race-fit GOWANBUSTER. Susan Corbett's gelding has impressively notched a course-and-distance double in recent weeks and a further 10lb hike might not be enough to anchor him. Sound Of Iona and Militia are other in-form players with claims.
Prediction : 1st Gowanbuster 2nd Fashion Advice 3rd Sound Of Iona

Broxi and Smooth Spirit both have to carry a penalty for their last-start wins but are respected, while Nastase and Simply Amazing also bring solid form to the table. However, jockey bookings would suggest that RUN THIS WAY is Mark Johnston's leading hope and she gets the vote to make a winning debut. Her dam was a half-sister to Group 1-winning sprinter Silca's Sister and she is likely to know her job.
Prediction : 1st Run This Way 2nd Nastase 3rd Broxi

REBEL SOLDIER BOY looked to have a bit up his sleeve when beating My Friend Stan in a Catterick maiden 15 days ago and despite meeting that rival on 3lb worse terms, he could confirm the form en route to following up. Alix James wasn't disgraced in a 0-78 handicap here last time and is no forlorn hope dropped slightly in class off a 1lb lower mark. The unexposed The Mackem Missile, who has undergone wind surgery since she was last sighted, also has a squeak.
Prediction : 1st Rebel Soldier Boy 2nd My Friend Stan 3rd Alix James

FALSE ID is the highest rated of these and has been in decent form since the restart, going close at Leicester when last seen. The seven-year-old gets the nod over the veteran course-and-distance winner Destination Aim, who was an encouraging fourth on his reappearance earlier this month following a year off the track. Talk Now was only beaten a head on his first outing of the year and has to be taken seriously, with Pumaflor also noted following a recent near-miss.
Prediction : 1st False Id 2nd Destination Aim 3rd Pumaflor

SUSIE JAVEA has been knocking on the door since the restart and this could be the perfect opportunity for Ollie Pears' consistent performer to get on the scoresheet dropping back to 7f. Joyful Star is another to go close of late and the 10-year-old may appreciate having a furlong less to tackle this time, while track-and-trip winner Lucky Violet has done better than the bare result would suggest the last twice.
Prediction : 1st Susie Javea 2nd Joyful Star 3rd Lucky Violet

ZABEEL STAR isn't badly handicapped based on his achievements in the past and could build on his recent Beverley triumph on stable debut for Iain Jardine. The eight-year-old was strong in the betting on that occasion, just getting up close to home, and could strike again after being raised just 3lb. Hillgrove Angel is on a hat-trick after scoring at Hamilton and Ayr last summer but hasn't been seen for 414 days, while recent Catterick hero Madeeh is another worth noting under a 5lb penalty.
Prediction : 1st Zabeel Star 2nd Hillgrove Angel 3rd Madeeh
