Rain over the last few days, has seen racing abandoned. At Mussleburgh the track normally drains quite well. The first race is over the straight 5f for two year olds. A nursery that is not really that strong. Not On Your Nellie has a tongue strap on today for the first time. She ran well at the track on her latest run, ridden today by Tom Eaves, who takes over from a claiming rider, she has a good chance of getting off the mark. At Yarmouth, the ground is heavy, soft in places. The 2.10 is also a nursery for two year olds, over the straight 7f. I think it is between the top weight Freshwater Cliffs and Robert Guiscard, slight preference for the latter, as his best form is on turf. Both of these youngsters will not of encountered ground like today, so if having a bet, it would be an interest bet only. Wolverhampton this evening is on the all weather, River Sprite 7.25 ran well on debut at Kempton, beaten a fair way, she will improve for that experience, and should have a decent chance in a race that looks open, Trinity Girl is unraced, she could well be useful, so an interesting race to watch.
More later. /
