Horse Racing Betting Tips for Feb 5 Events at Musselburgh and Taunton

Jonathan Nixon

Here are the horse racing betting tips for the events at Musselburgh and Taunton on February 6. Horse racing scenario in the United Kingdom only sees the involvement of Musselburgh and Taunton on February 5. Still, there is a healthy dose of bet online interest available for these events.

Musselburgh

Musselburgh has been involved as a racing venue since 1816. The track is located close to the sea, making it prone to suffer from harsh weather conditions. The best races at this venue are Edinburgh Castle Stakes and Scottish Sprint Cup, both races take place in June. On February 5, the best race at Musselburgh is likely to be the Sky Bet Supreme Scottish Trial Novices' Hurdle at 14:40. Peter The Mayo Man is the overwhelming favourite among horse racing tips to win the race. He remains undefeated this season.

Other events of major interest today are the Albert Bartlett Scottish Trial Novices' Hurdle, again a Class 2 event, and the Pertemps Network Handicap Hurdle – a Class 2 event for the 5-year-old plus horses. Soupy Soups is a favourite to win the former event, according to horse racing odds, while El Bandit’s 7th place in the last race is unlikely to stop bookmakers from making him a favourite for the latter.

Going is good.

13:40 - BURBANK last won at Huntingdon on January 13, was second at the same racecourse on December 4. The 5-year-old bay gelding also won at Newbury on November 3, showing immense potential. Pot Committed is probably his main rival, having won at Musselburgh in mid December.

14:10 - TOP NOTCH last won at Ascot on December 17. Before that, the 6-year-old bay gelding won at Plumpton on November 28 and at Warwick on November 16. He's seen much improvement as of late and we're sure it will continue this way. Frodon and Kilcrea Vale are two great runners who are the main danger in this Class 3 race.

15:40 - LOUGH DERG FARMER last won at Doncaster on January 9, surprising everyone. The 5-year-old bay gelding was 5th out of 18 at Warwick in early December and went through a 200-day break in 2016. His previous victory was at Dromahane on May 22. Risky bet, but well worth it.

16:40 - CAPTAIN WOODIE last won at Taunton on December 8. The 5-year-old bay gelding hasn't raced much as of late but his result is stunning.

Taunton

Racing and horse betting have been taking place at Taunton since 1927. Jumping action takes place at this venue throughout the winter months. Several horses who have won events at Taunton have gone on to achieve great success in their careers – including winning Graded events. While Musselburgh hosts plenty of Class 2 events today, horse racing betting interest will be upon Class 3 events at Taunton. The Bathwick Tyres Seniors' Handicap Hurdle at 15:50 is the most interesting race of them all.

Conducted on a track rated between good to soft, the length of the race is a testing 2M 3F. Best odds for success in this race are given to Hint Of Mint. Bathwick Tyres Handicap Chase can also be considered as an important race. Horse racing betting tips are predicting success for Dusky Lark, who is trained by Robert Walford.

Going is good-good to soft in places.

13:50 - HIGH SECRET went through a 466-day break in 2015 and returned to running on January 27, winnning at Taunton in a race of ten runners. The 6-year-old bay gelding has had mediocre results in the past, but now seems to have found the recipe for success. Risky bet. London Prize and Misterton are two of his main rivals in this Class 4 race.

14:50 - OZZIE THE OSCAR is a 6-year-old runner with great potential. When he came fourth at Kempton on January 14, he proved that he can do more. He won at Wetherby on October 29, 2016, and before that he had another three victories and a runner up throughout 2016. Sure bet. Roadie Joe and River Frost should also be considered.

16:50 - SCALES is a legendary 11-year-old bay gelding trained by Miss Kerry Lee. When he came third at Leicester on January 12, he proved that he can eventually start winning. He's had mixed results throughout the years, always missing the first place. It deserves respect. He goes against many maidens and Slidecheck is his main rival.
