Musselburgh Race 4

Time For Heroes Handicap Chase

Prize Money: $14,760

DIVAS DOYEN (4) failed to turn two placed efforts into a win when fourth last time out attempting a Carlisle handicap chase twelve days ago. Placed second at Kelso and third over course and distance prior. Can bounce back. DIDNTGOTWENTY (5) finished runner-up on most recent appearance tackling a track and trip handicap chase New Years Day racing second-up with fences. Might go one better. MADEMEWHATIAM (6) makes some attraction from bottom of the weights. Last seen finishing fifth in a Wetherby novices handicap chase Boxing Day. Improvement expected. SIEGE OF ACRES (1) looks interesting making chase debut.

Freshened for 31 days. Last outing finished sixth of 11 starters at Newcastle on January 15 over 3400m, 35 len behind Is This For Real carrying 73.5kg at $81. Race before finished fourth in a small field at Catterick on December 28 over 3900m, 21 len behind Kaka's Cousin with 71.5kg at $51. Certainly worth including.
