Ziggy's Queen

2.12
2.12/1(+39%)
(4) Ziggy's Queen 2.12/1, Showed fair form when placed on her first three starts but she came in a below-par eighth on her nursery debut at York (6f) 25 days ago. No surprise to see her bounce back.
Fairly useful form when placed over 5f on first three starts; may yet do better.

Lady Pink Rose

1.5
1.5/1(+33%)
(2) Lady Pink Rose 1.5/1, Landed 5f Beverley maiden in July but failed to settle when only eighth of 9 to Miaharris in listed race at Newbury (5.2f, good) 30 days ago. Hood goes on now and she's well worth another chance.
Good seventh in Queen Mary at Royal Ascot but that remains her standout piece of form.

Indispensable

1.75
1.75/1(-75%)
(1) Indispensable 1.75/1, Got off the mark at Ripon in June and not disgraced when a close seventh of 9 to Miaharris in listed race at Newbury (5.2f, good) 30 days ago. Ought to be in the shake-up.
Not at best last time but was close third in soft-ground Listed race in July; big player.
LTO Selection:

14:15 Musselburgh Stakes (Class 2) 5f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.

INDISPENSABLE could only muster a seventh-placed finish in a Listed event at Newbury last month, but better is expected in these calmer waters. A second success of the season could be on the cards for William Haggas' filly and she is preferred to Lady Pink Rose, who was two lengths behind her in eighth position in the aforementioned contest. Ziggy's Queen has something to find judged on the ratings, although not a massive amount.

None of the trio can be ruled out but the vote goes to LADY PINK ROSE who holds the edge on form and could take another step forward now the hood goes on having been too free at Newbury. Indispensable and Ziggy's Queen have the form to play a big part as well.

The most obvious answer is INDISPENSABLE, who performed well in Listed company this summer and won't mind if the ground turns soft.

(3) Canaria Queen 2.5/1, Showed some fair form in maidens but only ninth of 11 on her handicap debut at Carlisle (5.8f, good, 16/1) 17 days ago. Not ruled out if getting back on song.
Well held on handicap debut but her close second on soft ground in July gives her a shout.

Close second in Class 5 handicap this month; drops from 6f here; should go well again.

(5) No Aw There 40/1, 33/1, sixth of 7 in minor event at Carlisle (5.8f, good to firm) on her debut 25 days ago. She needs to take a major step forward.
Well beaten after racing too freely on last month's debut at Carlisle (6f).

4th (4) Eternal Sunshine (20/1 -233%)
Eternal Sunshine

20
20/1(-233%)
(4) Eternal Sunshine 20/1, Orientor filly. Sister to 3 winners, including 5f/6f winner Sound of Iona and 5f-7f winner Oriental Lilly and half-sister to 5f winner Eternalist. Appeals on paper but the betting can prove an accurate guide for this newcomer.
Has speed in her pedigree but would be a rare winning newcomer for the stable.

Holdemfoldem

125/1(-56%)
(2) Holdemfoldem 125/1, Twice-raced maiden. 250/1, seventh of 10 in maiden at Ayr (6f, good to firm) 31 days ago. Has lots to find on form.
Well-beaten 250-1 shot on his first two appearances (8.3f/6f); can't be recommended.
LTO Selection:

14:50 Musselburgh Stakes (Class 5) 5f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

SACRED FALLS has got better with every run and the absence of Alexi Boy has made her bid for a breakthrough success far easier. Katie Scott's filly came within a neck of making a winning start to her handicap career at Hamilton and sets the standard on the figures. Canaria Queen is officially rated only 1lb inferior but arrives on the back of a moderate Carlisle display. Money for Eternal Sunshine on debut would be interesting.

SACRED FALLS is the pick on form and gets the nod with this drop to 5f likely to suit. Canaria Queen has the form to have a say too if back on her A-game, while Eternal Sunshine is an interesting newcomer.

After the recent rain the suggestion is CANARIA QUEEN, who posted a good performance on soft ground two starts ago.

3.5
3.5/1(+0%)
(2) Venetian 3.5/1, Good second at Haydock in June but hasn't been in the same form since, though not disgraced at Kempton (8f) 25 days ago. Drops in class and back on last winning mark.
Hasn't fired lately but is a strong contender if judged on form shown in June.
LTO Selection:

15:25 Musselburgh Handicap (Class 5) 8f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

TILSITT hasn't been disgraced in class 4 company of late and the six-year-old holds leading claims on the ease in grade. Tulekya is best forgiven her sixth-placed finish when ducking right at Doncaster in June and may have been freshened up by a 91-day break. The daughter of Wootton Bassett is feared most, ahead of Bulls Aye, who ran one of his better races this season when filling the frame at Carlisle last time out.

VENETIAN hasn't been at his best lately but he's back on his last winning mark so could be worth chancing down in class. Tilsitt is another who's back down in grade so rates the main threat ahead of habitual slow-starter Bulls Aye.

He needs to better his recent efforts but VENETIAN will be too good for these if able to recapture the form he showed in early June.

Water Of Leith

10
10/1(-43%)
(6) Water Of Leith 10/1, 14/1, tenth of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 10 days ago. Inconsistent but assessor has given him a chance.
LTO Selection:

16:00 Musselburgh Handicap (Class 4) 5f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

PRINCESS KARINE has yet to run a bad race this year and she continued her good form when runner-up in a class 3 event over C&D. The four-year-old was kindly dropped 1lb for that display and she could prove hard to beat. Rock Melody is a previous C&D winner and will find this more to her liking than the competitive handicaps she has contested at York and Ascot the last twice. Ramon Di Loria can beat Water Of Leith home for third as he is now 1lb lower than his last winning mark.

The return to 5f is sure to suit ROCK MELODY and with this representing a big drop in class she looks the way to go. The minimum trip is also Khabib's optimum distance and he's a threat, along with Water of Leith.

Princess Karine might not face much competition up front but ROCK MELODY (nap) is taken to sweep past her in the closing stages.

C&D scorer; only sixth over C&D 19 days ago but sort to bounce back so needs considering.

Temperamental type but he arrives in decent nick; now 29 runs without a victory, however.

4-time C&D scorer but did too much up front at Ayr latest; merits serious consideration.
LTO Selection:

16:35 Musselburgh Handicap (Class 6) 12f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.

BLUE ANTARES only failed by half a length at Ripon last time and he is in great heart at present, as he has hit the frame on each of his last three outings. The son of Frankel can continue his fine form to take this and the main threat could be Spanish Hustle, who put in a pleasing display to finish fourth at Carlisle over 1m3f and he ought to go close off the same rating. Smart Lass couldn't justify favouritism last time, but she could easily bounce back and warrants respect.

BLUE ANTARES is going through a good spell and might be able to eke out a bit more improvement to resume winning ways at the likely expense of Spanish Hustle, who wasn't ideally suited by the way things panned out at Carlisle recently. Smart Lass is another one to consider.

The vote goes to course specialist SMART LASS who wasn't seen to best effect at Ayr last time and can capitalise on a reduced mark.

Fair 1m4f winner in 2021 for Charlie Fellowes but has offered little for his current yard.
LTO Selection:

17:10 Musselburgh Handicap (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

It's Good To Laugh was beaten less than a length at Chester last time out and he can go well off the same mark, but YORKINDNESS might have his measure on this occasion. The four-year-old strolled home when making all at York to win by eight lengths last Sunday and a 5lb penalty may not stop him following up under Joe Fanning. Coltor looks best of the rest in this small field and could pick up some prize money.

IT'S GOOD TO LAUGH has been runner-up the last twice and, with a couple of front-runners liable to take each other on, he might find this panning out ideally, so he's preferred to last-time-out winners Baez and Yorkindness.

Jim Goldie's filly BAEZ is thriving and the one to beat under a 5lb penalty for her Chester win two days ago.

Fair fourth 18 days ago; visor replaces cheekpieces; one to consider.
LTO Selection:

17:45 Musselburgh Handicap (Class 6) 7f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.

Spartakos won this race in 2021 for trainer Katie Scott and the five-year-old is back for more off 3lb higher after a fifth-placed finish at Catterick last month. He could go well, but if INDIAN OUTLAW takes to first-time blinkers, then she would have every chance judged on her better form. Kalama Sunrise could surprise a few and is bred for this trip, despite racing over further without success on her first three starts.

Plenty of these hold few secrets and it could just pay to take a chance on a handicap debutante in the shape of KALAMA SUNRISE. Ultimately well beaten all 3 starts in novice company, she should find this sort of assignment much more suitable from a low opening mark and it would come as no surprise to see her do better. Spartakos and Doomsday head the dangers, with Turbo Command another not out of things.

Lightly raced AMERRONE showed some promise as a juvenile and could take advantage of a basement mark now he's going handicapping.

About U.K Horse Racing

Horse racing is a popular and historic sport in the UK, with a tradition dating back centuries. It is a multi-billion pound industry that attracts millions of spectators each year and generates significant economic activity.

There are two main types of horse racing in the UK: flat racing and jump racing. Flat racing is run on a level course and is typically shorter in distance, while jump racing involves horses jumping over obstacles and is generally longer in distance. Both types of racing are popular with spectators and bettors, and they take place at various racetracks throughout the country.

The most famous horse racing event in the UK is the Grand National, which is held annually at Aintree Racecourse in Liverpool. It is a jump racing event that is known for its challenging course and has become a national institution in the UK. Other notable horse racing events in the UK include the Derby, held at Epsom Downs Racecourse in Surrey, and the Royal Ascot, held at Ascot Racecourse in Berkshire.

Horse racing in the UK is regulated by the British Horseracing Authority (BHA), which sets rules and standards for the industry. It is responsible for the welfare of racehorses and the safety of jockeys and trainers, as well as ensuring fair and transparent racing practices.

In addition to its economic and cultural importance, horse racing in the UK also plays a significant role in the breeding and training of thoroughbred horses. Many of the world's top thoroughbreds are bred and trained in the UK, and the industry plays a vital role in the preservation and promotion of the breed.

Overall, horse racing is an integral part of British culture and a major contributor to the country's economy. It is a thrilling and exciting sport that continues to attract a loyal following and generate significant interest from spectators and bettors around the world.
