Musselburgh Race 4

Visit Racingtv.com Handicap

Stake: $14,077

SCARRIFF (4) caught the eye here two outings back when a 5.5L winner of a 1600m handicap at this venue prior to a good 3L third in this handicap grade over 1400m here last month. Racing well and ticks plenty of boxes. Top chance. SHINE ON BRENDAN (2) showed plenty of ability at Hamilton finishing a solid third contesting a higher level 1800m handicap. The seven-year-old won this race last year. Main danger. FANZONE (6) brings good form with a course placing prior to a smart 1.75L second over 1600m at Nottingham. In the mix. CHINESE SPIRIT (7) made the frame at Thirsk finishing third contesting 1600m. Holds claims.

Last start 3rd of 8 at Thirsk on June 24 over 1600m, 0.8 len behind Island Of Skye carrying 53.5kg at $9.50. The run before that 7th of 13 at Hamilton Park on June 12 over 1700m, 10 len behind Shahnaz carrying 58.5kg at $34. Not far away last time. Worth plenty of thought.

Expected Settling Position: Midfield
