GENIE CAN CAST SPELL

PACE in the race is the key to the chance of SPIRIT GENIE (6.45) at Musselburgh today.

- 

The Jennie Candlish-trained runner should get a lovely tow in the Sky Bet For The Fans Handicap over seven furlongs.

Following wind surgery, the five-year-old endured a horrendous run through the contest in the Spring Mile at Doncaster and once his chance had gone, Kieran O'Neill was pretty easy on his partner.

Dropped a pound to a mark of 89, the bay gelding is taken to fire down the home stretch and pick up the class act in the field, Ramazan.

The last-named was far from disgraced in Group company last year, but may just need a bit of help from the handicapper this season.
