Tipstrr’s best bet for Sunday: Billy Loughnane can bring Abduction home in Musselburgh sprint

Sunday's biggest prize comes in the last race of the day when 16 runners will line up for a five-furlong dash at Musselburgh. Tipstrr’s pundits have been busy making their best each-way selections.
18:45 Musselburgh - Sky Bet Sunday Series Sprint Handicap
With no horse less than 6/1 in such a big field, and with bookmakers offering as many as six places, there's clearly plenty of each-way options to be considered, and within the Tipstrr community three horses in particular have attracted plenty of attention.
Tipstrr's most popular pick of the day is Jim Goldie's
Abduction, who is looking to carry on where he left off last season.
The form of his win at Catterick in July was confirmed with back-to-back successes at Ayr in September, and he was unlucky not to make it a hat-trick when finishing second over this course and distance in October.
This outing sees his first attempt at the minimum trip, which might explain his current odds, but with promising Billy Loughnane in the saddle, this could be a good chance to back him at a decent price.
Suggested bet: Abduction each-way in the 18:45 at Musselburgh
Other popular picks
The most popular in the betting market is Jim Goldie's
Rock Melody, who is well worth a look after overcoming a troubled passage to finish a creditable fourth over this course and distance three weeks ago, and a clear run should see him emerge as a big player here.
Runninwild looks attractively priced for a horse that showed great consistency last season, lacing his ten outings with two wins at Newcastle and Thirsk along with four frame finishes. After a six-month break, he might need this run, however, especially off a career-high mark.
