UK Horse Racing Tips: Musselburgh

INDISPENSABLE could only muster a seventh-placed finish in a Listed event at Newbury last month, but better is expected in these calmer waters. A second success of the season could be on the cards for William Haggas' filly and she is preferred ahead of Lady Pink Rose, who was two lengths behind the selection in eighth position in the aforementioned contest. Ziggy's Queen has something to find judged on the ratings, with a bigger threat perhaps emerging from all-weather debut winner Shuangxi.
Prediction : 1st Indispensable 2nd Lady Pink Rose 3rd Shuangxi

ALEXI BOY made the perfect stable debut when romping home at Lingfield last month and the Oasis Dream colt looks more than capable of defying a 7lb penalty in this contest. Sacred Falls receives 12lb from the selection, with Katie Scott's filly a potential improver on the drop in distance. She could pose the main challenge to the selection, although Canaria Queen shouldn't be underestimated now returned to 5f.
Prediction : 1st Alexi Boy 2nd Sacred Falls 3rd Canaria Queen

TILSITT hasn't been disgraced in class 4 company of late and the six-year-old holds leading claims on the ease in grade. Tulekya is best forgiven her sixth-placed finish when ducking right at Doncaster in June and may have been freshened up by a 91-day break. The daughter of Wootton Bassett is feared most, ahead of Bulls Aye, who ran one of his better races this season when filling the frame at Carlisle last time out.
Prediction : 1st Tilsitt 2nd Tulekya 3rd Bulls Aye

PRINCESS KARINE has yet to run a bad race this year and she continued her good form when runner-up in a class 3 event over C&D last time. The four-year-old was kindly dropped 1lb for that display and she could prove hard to beat today. Sugar Baby ran well at York on his penultimate run to hit the frame and if he can bounce back from his latest outing, he could get into contention. Of the remainder, Khabib makes the most appeal after his sixth-placed finish at Thirsk.
Prediction : 1st Princess Karine 2nd Sugar Baby 3rd Khabib

BLUE ANTARES only failed by half a length at Ripon last time and he is in great heart at present, as he has hit the frame on each of his last three outings. The son of Frankel can continue his fine form to take this and the main threat could be Spanish Hustle, who put in a pleasing display to finish fourth at Carlisle over 1m3f and he ought to go close off the same rating. Smart Lass couldn't justify favouritism last time, but she could easily bounce back and warrants respect.
Prediction : 1st Blue Antares 2nd Spanish Hustle 3rd Smart Lass

It's Good To Laugh was beaten less than a length at Chester last time out and he can go well off the same mark, but YORKINDNESS might have his measure on this occasion. The four-year-old strolled home when making all at York to win by eight lengths last Sunday and a 5lb penalty may not stop him following up under Joe Fanning. Coltor looks best of the rest in this small field and could pick up some prize money.
Prediction : 1st Yorkindness 2nd Its Good To Laugh 3rd Coltor

Spartakos won this race in 2021 for trainer Katie Scott and the five-year-old is back for more off 3lb higher after a fifth-placed finish at Catterick last month. He could go well, but if INDIAN OUTLAW takes to first-time blinkers, then she would have every chance judged on her better form. Kalama Sunrise could surprise a few and is bred for this trip, despite racing over further without success on her first three starts.
Prediction : 1st Indian Outlaw 2nd Spartakos 3rd Kalama Sunrise
