FIGHT GOOD CHANCE
GREAT FIGHTER (5.0) can floor his rivals for in-form handler Jim Goldie on Family Day at Musselburgh.
The eight-year-old has a decent record at the Lothian venue and produced his best effort for a while when second to Bedrock over course and distance.
This looks the useful stayer’s easiest assignment for some time and he can score off an attractive mark for his skilled connections.
The Uplawmoor handler can also claim the five-furlong handicap with ETERNALIST (3.25).
The mare recorded a career best when slamming Landing
Night over course and distance and can follow up thanks to Sophie Ralston’s 7lb claim.
Tim Easterby’s TWILIGHT (2.20) is well worth a punt in the Club 188 Handicap.
The lightly-raced three-yearold was an eye-catching third to Forever A Lady in a stronger contest at Thirsk and can build on that effort over a mile.
KILBARCHAN (2.50) can get her career back on track for Mark Johnston in the novice contest.
The juvenile couldn’t build on her impressive Chelmsford debut when only fourth at Ayr but she will have earned plenty in defeat and can bounce back.
The 188Bet Handicap is trappy but I’m keen to side with the consistent POUR L’AMOUR (3.55). David Loughnane’s mare
put in another good shift when chasing home Kath’s Legacy at Chepstow and can go one better off a fair mark.
JACOB BLACK (4.30) can continue his winning streak for Carluke handler Keith Dalgleish.
The reliable seven-year-old escapes a penalty for Friday’s cosy win at Hamilton and he can strike again under talented 3lb claimer Rowan Scott.
Irish raider NORA BATT (5.35) rates a confident selection in the closing sprint. John Nicholson’s five-year-old ran a blinder when third to Sweetest
Taboo in a stronger event at Bellewstown and can resume winning ways. Jedd O’Keeffe’s INSTANT
ATTRACTION (1.40) rates the best bet on the all-weather at Newcastle.
The seven-year-old clearly benefited from wind surgery when a fine third over course and distance and should be primed with that run under his belt.
