Musselburgh Race 2 - Enter ITV7 For Free Handicap
BLUES AND ROYALS (2) Won by 1L last run at Kempton and has drawn the rails. Hector Crouch and Michael Bell are usually competitive when they team up. Has a nice turn of foot. Must respect in this event. SUDDENLY I SEE (3) Resuming after a 30 week break. Ran over the top of them when winning last run around here but facing stiffer opposition. Worth strong consideration. JUST A GAMBLER (5) Competitive effort when 3rd last time at Kempton and promising career start. Interesting to see the winkers go on for the first time. Expected to be flashing home. No shock to see a win. KEEP AN EYE ON IT (9) Close up last start at Southwell. Has plenty of early speed. Solid each way claims.

Good win by 1L last run at Kempton and gets a favourable draw. Hector Crouch and Michael Bell command respect as a team. Will be motoring home late. Very tidy performer.

Resumes after a break. Came on strongly to finish 2nd when beaten by 1/2L last start at Newcastle and putting a tidy record together so far. Watch for a sign in the market.

Back from a 26 week break. Jumped at $34.00 and didn't attack the line when 6th last run at Newmarket and bit of extra work to do with more weight. Needs to improve.

Narrowly denied a win last time at Newcastle and displaying improvement over the past few runs. Change in trainer and goes down in weight. Expecting to settle positively. Respect the betting.

Fresh today. Odds of $17.00 and got going late when 4th last start at Newcastle and will benefit with the weight drop. Shows good early pace. Could put in your exotics.
