1250 Musselburgh-The strike rate of Donna`s Pride is very ordinary but 2 miles,on decent ground and in this grade are its optimum conditions.
Its finished 2nd both times its had those circumstances & id be surprised if it wasnt involved at the finish.I would certainly have it shorter than the prices available.
Mitcd is unexposed and is very much respected but on pure ratings,it needs to find a few pounds to match the best of these.
Rioja Day & Urban Kode shouldnt be far away but there is little strength in depth here.
Back Donna`s Pride 8pts at 5.5 at Bet365/Betvictor-2nd(-8pts)Cruised into contention and found nothing.

320 Musselburgh-You can find faults with many here and I can find only a few that could be involved.
Harleys Max is the one I like.Its got a career record of 2/24 but is actually 2/2 at this track and 2w-1p-6r over this trip.
Its got a nice consistent profile and I would expect it to go close at a nice price.
Quick Brew won last time and posted a competitive rating but has a career strike rate of 6%,which hardly inspires a follow up.
Quick Decisson heads my ratings but that was over 2 miles,its record over this trip(2m3f)is over a stone lower plus the trainer is 0w-3p-16r with his runners at this track.
John Williams looks the main threat,as its a course and distance winner with a slowly progressive profile,however having said that,its a ridiculous price at 7/4.
Back Harleys Max 7pts at 7.5 at Various bookies-PU(-7pts)This was incredibly poor from a very consistent horse.

350 Musselburgh-Green Zone looks a bit overpriced here and warrants an interest.
It ran well last time and if backing that run up then I will be right there at the business end.
Its a got a good 2w-1p-8r record going right handed.
Stoneham heads the dangers,it drops in class and races under conditions that should be ideal but as usual,its all price related and this one looks a bit tight on my figures.
Back Green Zone 7pts at 8.0 at Various bookies-UP(-7pts)Just a very poor day.(DT-22pts)
