EAGLE CAN WING IT

- BY GARRY OWEN

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.
