Musselburgh Race 2 - Ebf Restricted Maiden Stakes (Gbb Race)
EAGLE BAY (3) finished 2L from the winner when third debuting last start attempting 1400m at Catterick. Sure to improve. Could prove hard to beat. POSITIVE THOUGHTS (10) progressed tackling latest finishing second in a 1400m contest at Southwell All Weather beaten a neck. Takes on a stronger field. Up to the task. SILKY LASS (8) makes debut for the Karl Burke stable. This filly by Massaat from Caledonia Duchess is worth keeping an eye on for positive market moves. BLAKEFELL (2) only managed to finish ninth at Newmarket. Likely to find handicaps much easier in the future and because of that is one to watch closely.

Third race start. First start raced on the speed throughout before fading to run last of 7 at Catterick on August 5 over 1400m, 12 len behind Reverberate with 58kg at $81. Went for a break before returning 4th of 8 at Nottingham on October 15 over 1700m, 13 len behind Iceni Queen with 57kg at $126. Still early in the prep and needs another run or two.

Jumped at big odds at debut, 5th of 11 at Newmarket (Rowley) on October 22 over 1400m, 10 len behind Souffler carrying 57kg at $26. Has winning claims with the benefit of that run.

Having third race start. At long odds at debut, second last of 7 at Ayr on September 20 over 1400m, slow going 6 len behind Nobody Knows carrying 56.5kg at $34. Second-up came from midfield; 2nd of 13 at Southwell All Weather on October 7 over 1400m, neck behind Ghisa with 57kg at $5.50. Progressing well and is one of the major hopes.
