LET’S GO BALLISTIC

- BY GARRY OWEN

BALLISTIC BERRY (8.0) looks sweet for Jessica Macey on Racing TV Racenight at Musselburg­h.

The sprinter recorded a clear career best when chinned by Waverley Star over course and distance last month.

The filly is nicely unexposed on turf so can go one better in this slightly weaker contest.

Tim Easterby’s IMPULSIVE REACTION (6.0) should build on last month’s debut third at Thirsk to King’s Crown. Bryan Smart’s DOOMSDAY (6.30) can terrify the bookies in the George MacDonald Handicap.

The gelding should relish tackling a mile after staying on for third to Lincoln Pride at Doncaster 15 days ago.

Philip Kirby is starting to hit form so RED FORCE ONE (7.0) stands out in the two-miler.

The stayer shaped like his turn was near when narrowly beaten by Grand Canal at Ayr four weeks ago. The Pride Handicap is extremely trappy but it’s worth siding with Linda Perratt’s SIXCOR (7.30).

The four-year-old resumed winning ways with a cosy defeat of Tanasoq in a fair event at Ayr 10 days ago.

The gelding was value for far more than the neck verdict so can defy a 4lb hike up in class.

CLOTHERHOL­ME (8.30) stands to bag a hat-trick for Ann Duffield in the Racing TV Handicap. The five-year-old outbattled Irv in a strong race at Beverley 13 days ago.

The gelding should still be in peak form so can make light of a well-earned 2lb penalty.

DIAMOND HAZE (9.0) can sparkle for Michael Dods in the tricky Free Trial Handicap.

The gelding left some tepid efforts behind when defeating

Antagonize at Thirsk.

The four-year-old scored with plenty in hand so ought to shrug off a lenient 2lb rise.

WITCH HUNTER (6.15) looks deadly for Richard Hannon in the big sprint at Windsor. The colt was unlucky to meet El Caballo in a sevenfurlo­ng Listed event at Ling field in March and stands to deliver down in trip and class.

JEWEL IN MY CROWN (6.45) looks poised to reign for in-form Rae Guest in the Fitz Perfectly Handicap.

The grey should triumph with any repeat of this month’s excellent second to Lord Protector at Sandown.
