PAVERS TO STAR AT MUSSELBURGH

The intention was to add these fancies at Musselburgh this evening on the end of the post previewing today's races at Goodwood and Galway. However, due to all the seconds and thirds I've had to endure not just today but over the course of the past few days, I felt it would be best to do a fresh post for these Musselburgh races and try and put that (hopefully short) case of seconditis well and truly behind me.

Anyway, PAVERS STAR looks to have a good chance in the 8:20. After a cataclysmic drop in the weights, he ran his best race in a long time with a second place over course and distance last time out, behind a well backed favourite who may have been well handicapped too. His official rating remained unchanged for that run which is what makes him appeal to me here.

I could not find a picture of Pavers Star so here is me with his jockey Joey Haynes
at Wolverhampton.

In the 8:50, SNOW BAY ran a massively improved race last time out, which may of been due to the firmer ground and he will probably have similar conditions today. FUNDING DEFICIT could also be interesting with seven pound claimer Jordan Nason aboard making his chances a lot easier. He will run of his lowest mark to date and could go well at a big price.

Happy Punting!
