Musselburgh Race 5 - Virgin Bet Daily Price Boosts Handicap Hurdle
HEART ABOVE (4) built on a second to salute by 1.3L tackling 3120m at this track. Ideally placed to win once more. SEA LEGEND (1) produced a better performance over 3100m here filling a minor placing. Shortlist among this company. BASHFUL (2) provided a pair of modest fifths past two starts. Ability to turn form around. GAME MANAGEMENT (5) warrants every chance for a return to winning ways after making the frame at Catterick last time out.

Useful type. Last start finished fifth of 8 runners at Haydock Park 3yo+ HDLE HCP (C3) on December 21 over 3100m, on heavy track; 20 len behind Milldam carrying 66kg at $12. The start before that; finished fifth of 9 runners at Sedgefield 3yo+ HCP HDLE (C5) on December 6 over 3380m, on slow going 11 len behind Foster's Fortune carrying 76kg at $11. Finds a suitable race and can do much better this time.
