2/1
Made all and kept on strongly when winning a modest novices contest over C&D on chasing debut 15-days ago (runner-up Shaiyzar has won since); 8lb higher, albeit with his optimum conditions underfoot.

14/1
Mud-lark who stays all day so the strong suspicion is that 3m around Musselburgh on good ground will be an inadequate test of stamina; handicap mark easing - now just 2lb above his last winning mark.

13/2
Effective on good ground between 2m4f and 3m, with both of his previous wins coming at Hexham; disappointing in his last couple of starts, although is worthy of respect based upon a solid run (off this mark) at Wetherby (3m) in November.

15/8
Always handy when beaten 6L by Mcginty's Dream at Ayr (3m, soft) earlier this month; unseated rider at Sedgefield latest; competitive off this sort of mark in the past and has also won around this sharp track (2m hurdle).

4/1
Difficult to draw too many positives from his performances since finishing 3L second to Bafana Blue at Hexham (3m, good) in October. However, he sits on a winnable mark and handles good ground as shown when scoring at Perth in August.

14:10 Musselburgh - 28 February 2019 - Racecard - Horse Racing - Sporting Life

It's difficult to speak with any degree of confidence about the five declared runners, other than to state that the veteran Lowanbehold won't have conditions to his liking (discounted). Samtu made a winning chasing debut over C&D earlier this month and the value of that form now looks more palatable with the benefit of hindsight (runner-up a Sedgefield scorer since). Therefore, with conditions remaining favourable he should go relatively close. However, at the projected odds a chance is taken on the dual Hexham scorer BAFANA BLUE who will also be suited by the presenting conditions.
  1. Bafana Blue
  2. Samtu
  3. So Satisfied
