Musselburgh Race 2 - British Ebf Novice Stakes (Gbb Race)
VEGASMILE (1) Assumed control from the start to win by 4 1/2L last time at the track but racing in stronger company. Should come to hand quickly. Makes it very hard to bet against. BLUE PETE (2) Did well to finish 2nd last time at Redcar and showing consistent performance in races. Should be swooping on the field late. Up against a more competitive field. Main hope. DODGEM (3) Ran 4th last run at Newcastle but drawn beautifully. Can go through the gears. Up against a higher level of opposition. Could place. SNEAKIN PETE (4) Fairly underwhelming when 5th last time at Ayr but can find a nice position from the draw. Challenged by more formidable competitors. Could surprise.

Dictated terms in front when winning by 4 1/2L last time at this track but competing at a higher grade. Has early speed and positions nicely. Good chance today.

Attacked the line when 2nd last time at Redcar and putting a tidy record together so far. Possesses good closing speed. Has run into the money all attempts this campaign. Strong claims and hard to beat.

Came in 4th last run at Newcastle but gets the perfect draw. Has a great burst of speed late. Facing a stronger grade. Hard to recommend with any confidence.

Started $251.00 and performed below standard when 5th last time at Ayr but will try to take advantage of the draw. Facing formidable competition. Hard to entertain.
