The Eye-Catcher. Friday the 9th of August...

15.30 Musselburgh: Rasaman @ 12/1 bet365 - 2pts win

Rasaman looks a huge price considering that he appears to be in his third spring or so. He won well at Ayr a couple of weeks ago over tomorrows 7f trip, and he followed up with another hugely impressive performance at Hamilton, then off his new mark, when he was just narrowly beaten on the line, while not getting the run of the race, much in contrast to the eventual winner. He was last seen at York then a fortnight ago, in a big sprint Handicap over 6f and there he had just a pretty tough time throught the whole race, getting hampered and short of room from 3f out, while running on nicely under a light hands and heels ride once in the clear over 1f out, suggesting he's as good as ever.

He's back over 7 furlongs tomorrow, as well as at Musselburgh, a track he loves, having three course wins to his name. This looks a wide open race, with plenty of chances, and I think Rasaman is not as much an outsider as the price suggest actually. In fact I'm sure he'll run a big race, as he is in excellent form, he is consistent as well and he is one mark he is able to run well from.That could be enough to see him winning this race in the end.
