3 very poor meetings today

there has been heavy overnight rain in Musselburgh, and although racing goes ahead, the change in the going means that there are lots of non-runners and punters should check before placing their bets. In fact racing is now so unattractive, that one should leave this meeting out altogether, but for the record our main fancies are Irish raider Solidago (Stuart Crawford/ Tom O´Brien) at 14.50 CET and Dantes Frolic (Mike Smith/ Ryan Mania) at 16.20.
The jumps card at Pliumpton is no better, nor the all-weather card at Wolverhampton, where all races are class 5 or 6.The best horses running today are Baby Shine (Lucy Wadham/ Leighton Aspell) and She Ranks Me (Donald MCCain/ Tony McCoy) who clash in the mares novice chase at 15.35. Both were useful hurdlers and as the latter, who failed to complete on her only start over fences, receives 12 lbs, she must be the selection, but this is a match and therefore unsuitable fof betting purposes.

Betting forecast Wolverhampton:
1. Race: Shawkantango - Bapak Bangsawan - Top Cop
2. Race: Brownsville - Desert Ranger - Travis Bickle
3. Race: Doldrums - All The Winds - Fantasy King
4. Race: Mr Red Clubs - Dubai Celebration - India`s Song
5. Race: Arantes - Rose Kazan - Lockedoutaheaven
