Musselburgh Race 4

Dropkicks Donkey Handicap

Stake: $16,384

DRUMCONDRA (3) finished 0.5L second over 1800m at this track last time. Capable of sharp improvement eased in distance. KEATS HOUSE (4) was fourth tackling 1600m at Doncaster most recently. Major player. SHIELAS WELL (1) ran third tackling 1800m here on latest appearance. Warrants serious consideration. BEAUTY BLOSSOM (2) cannot be discounted.

Recent form sound. Most recently held ground to the line 3rd of 7 at this track on August 27 over 1800m, 8 len behind Amidst The Chaos with 61kg at $3.80. Before that 3rd in a small field at Ripon on August 16 over 2400m, 1.0 len behind Phaedra with 57.5kg at $4.50. Looks a strong top-three prospect.

Racing well recently. Returns from a 29-day let-up. At the latest run 4th of 7 at Doncaster on August 16 over 1600m, 2.75 len behind Amidst The Chaos with 58.5kg at $6.50. The start before that raced on the pace when 3rd of 10 at Pontefract on July 27 over 1600m, 2.5 len behind Project Geofin carrying 57.5kg at $4.30. Terrific chance for a return to form.

Comes here off a 54-day let-up. At the latest run ran last in a small field at this track on July 22 over 1800m, 8 len behind Scarriff carrying 61kg at $3.30. The run before that ran on strongly from last on the turn; 2nd of 8 at Ayr on July 14 over 1400m, 0.8 len behind Spun To Gold carrying 60.5kg at $9.50. Needs to do more.

Resumes from a spell. Finished off last preparation ninth of 12 at Southwell All Weather December 28 over 1600m, 12 len behind Suzette Defoye carrying 58kg at $81. On debut eighth of 11 at Wolverhampton November 21 over 1700m, 14 len behind Falakeyah carrying 56.5kg at $17. This looks too tough.
