UK Horse Racing Tips: Musselburgh

Mereside Princess arrives seeking a hat-trick, having backed up her Carlisle success when dominating over C&D earlier in the month, but she will need to improve after a 9lb rise. With that in mind, ONLY DREAM BIG could be the one who takes advantage. A comfortable winner at Redcar on Friday, it wouldn't be a surprise to see her follow up under a 6lb penalty. Inferno went close at Wetherby last week and is a threat to all off the same rating.
Prediction : 1st Only Dream Big 2nd Mereside Princess 3rd Inferno

LADY DUBLIN ran with plenty of credit on her first attempt at 6f when beaten less than two lengths into sixth in a competitive seller at York. The extra furlong may well yield further improvement and that can help her to shed the maiden tag at the fourth time of asking. Bluestone Lady was tried in blinkers at Carlisle last week and stayed on nicely to finish fourth. She is another who can benefit from stepping up in trip, with Liveadream completing the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Lady Dublin 2nd Bluestone Lady 3rd Liveadream

A repeat of Carolus Magnus' second over C&D in April would give him an obvious chance and he could easily bounce back from a below-par effort at Carlisle. Viviana is likely to improve making her first appearance in handicap company after running over shorter on all three outings to date. That being said, FINN IRONSIDE was unlucky more than once at Doncaster last time and the five-year-old, who had been running well prior, can make amends to gain a fourth career success.
Prediction : 1st Finn Ironside 2nd Carolus Magnus 3rd Viviana

Naturalia has found one too good in each of her last two outings at Carlisle and may fill that place again, this time behind GEMINI MAN. Iain Jardine's gelding struck in a classified stakes at Newcastle and a repeat of that performance might be enough. Rosemary May showed more when third at Ripon last week and isn't ruled out either.
Prediction : 1st Gemini Man 2nd Naturalia 3rd Rosemary May

C&D winner Golden Prosperity has dropped to an appealing mark and needs to be considered, but it may pay to side with ZUFFOLO. Michael Dods' charge ran too badly to be true when well beaten at Thirsk and if reproducing the level of form he showed when second at Redcar prior, he could be the one to beat. Fear And Fast completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Zuffolo 2nd Golden Prosperity 3rd Fear And Fast

PORT DARWIN was the subject of market support when he won cosily at Hamilton and, as he escapes a penalty for that apprentice-race success, Charlie Johnston's three-year-old must have a decent chance of following up. Highland Olly is dangerous to underestimate off just 2lb higher than his last winning rating, while the low-mileage Welbury could have a big say if he keeps his keenness under control.
Prediction : 1st Port Darwin 2nd Highland Olly 3rd Welbury

KEEP ME STABLE has posted three of her four victories on turf at this venue and could be well placed to make a successful seasonal debut given she thrived around this time last year. Union Island had Up The Jazz a neck away in third when he won at Leicester in May, but the latter has a 2lb pull and may be the biggest danger. Approaching Dawn, a surprise winner over C&D on his penultimate start, also warrants a market check.
Prediction : 1st Keep Me Stable 2nd Up The Jazz 3rd Union Island
