SBC News Voice of the Sports Betting Industry
Ian Marmion, Trading Director at BetStars, is hoping that ‘Take A Turn’ is a good omen for his Tipster Challenge hopes at Musselburgh.
Marmion, who failed to muster any points on his previous showing in late April, has also put forward early market leader Suwaan as his Nap of the Day in the 5:00.
Meanwhile, bettingexpert’s Stephen Harris is hoping for a ‘Tectonic’ shift in Tipster Challenge returns, having collected just 3.33 points across the last three weeks.

2:00
bettingexpert: Vj Day
Has been well backed on both career runs so far. Shaped with promise and this looks quite a drop in class.
BetStars: Vj Day
Nice debut at Haydock a couple of months ago. Likely to improve for that and more scope than most of the others.

2:30
bettingexpert: Crazy Tornado
Has been running well at Ayr all summer and should appreciate this speed track at Musselburgh with a promising 5lb claimer taking over in the saddle.
BetStars: Lil Sophella
A C&D winner who showed signs of a revival last time. EW play at the prices.

3:00
bettingexpert: Jonny Delta
Best when dominating from the stalls and can see these off if his young claimer seizes the initiative.
BetStars: Ivor’s Involvement
Ran into a bang in form rival last time and nothing of his calibre here.

3:30
bettingexpert: Pearl Acclaim
All speed and this track is ideal given he struggles to get home even over the minimum trip these days.
BetStars: Bogart
Been the bridesmaid the last twice but might have found his turn today from a good draw.

4:00
bettingexpert: Rosemay
Comes from a stable in terrific form and has been shaping well in defeat in recent weeks.
BetStars: Take A Turn
The inform and progressive Take A Turn can make it three wins from six this year, continuing his upward curve.

4:30
bettingexpert: Tectonic (Nap of the Day)
Has well documented quirks but will love these conditions and should be able to win this on the bridle if Fanning can coax his head in front late on.
BetStars: La Bacouetteuse
Only four runners but a tight handicap with marginal preference for the four-time C&D winner trained by the in-form Ian Jardine.
____________________________________
5:00
bettingexpert: Rapid Ranger
Could well improve for the fitting of a hood and has ideal conditions to halt a frustrating spell.
BetStars: Suwaan (Nap of the Day)
The last race has probably the best bet on the card with Suwaan having solid claims against these.
