EAGLE CAN WING IT
FLYLIKEANEAGLE (1:50) can soar for Lucinda Russell on Lucas Ice Cream Family Day at Musselburgh.
The five-year-old ran another stormer when just denied by Shine On Brendan over a mile at Ayr. The gelding is nicely unexposed for the thriving Arlary handler so he can go one better up in trip.
LADY LAVINA (2:25) can enhance Team Johnston’s enviable course record in the maiden. The filly ran better than the bare result when fifth to Misty Blues in a red-hot Pontefract novice. The juvenile was staying-on strongly late so she can land this weaker contest over seven furlongs.
The Middleham Aces can enjoy a double courtesy of BAILEYS LIBERTY (3:00).
The filly opened her account with a convincing defeat of Yeeeaah in a decent Carlisle handicap. The three-year-old looks open to progress over seven furlongs so she can defy a fair 3lb penalty.
Jim Goldie excels here so I’m backing BOBBY SHAFTOE (3:35) in the classified event. The gelding wasn’t disgraced when a close sixth behind Ben Asker in Ayr handicap company. The four-year-old should take advantage of this drop in grade.
The Uplawmoor handler can also bag the racingtv.com Handicap with PRIMO’S COMET (4:45). The speedster stayed on track with a game second to winning machine Dusky Prince at Doncaster.
The gelding was very unlucky that day so he can gain due compensation in another strong event.
JUNGLE TIME (4:10) can run wild for in-form Karl Burke in the racingtv.com Nursery.
The two-year-old was unlucky to meet the welltreated Match Play in a hot event at Hamilton. That was still a clear career best so this youngster can shade another trappy contest.
WILL HE DANCE (5:15) can put his best foot forward for Keith Dalgleish in the lucky last. The four-year-old was an excellent second to the fairlytreated City Wanderer over track and trip. The gelding should turn the tables on his old rival at today’s weights.
Finally, ISLAND MAHEE (6:30) can maintain his recent winning streak for Shane Crawford at Ballinrobe.
