The horses-for-courses theory was devised with places like Musselburgh in mind and there are a couple of track specialists worth bearing in mind at the Scottish venue this evening.
Lion's Domane certainly falls into that category as a dual 7f scorer at the track and he can make it number three by taking the Appleyard Jaguar Handicap.
Ian Semple is a trainer going places and his five-year-old, who can make the running or sit handy, ran well from a low draw on his first run for nearly four months here last time.
He's much better drawn this time in stall 14 and, with the ground in his favour, he looks sure to give a very good account.
Bodfari Signet also loves it here and he's taken to supplement last week's Perth win in the Appleyard Land Rover Trophy Handicap over a mile and a half.
Sue Bradburne's runner has run some super races over hurdles at this course during the course of last season and he ran well on the Flat at this course last summer when third to Hibernate.
His recent efforts over hurdles suggest he can go well and he's another who has conditions to suit. He's preferred to Hasta La Vista.
Wolverhampton's Fibresand course also takes some knowing and Weet-A-Minute is a strong fancy back in division two of the extended nine furlong claimer.
Reg Hollinshead's runner hasn't been getting home over a mile and a half of late on turf but the return to this trip in the likely strongly run race will suit and he can get the better of Moyne Pleasure.
Stand By is interesting in the hands of Kevin Darley and the combination can click in the Littlewoods Bet Direct Daily Special Offers Handicap over six furlongs.
Brian Pearce's sprinter ran her best race of the year over course and distance last time and the first time visor she wears could bring about the necessary improvement.
Darley's mount Spritzeria has no previous experience of the course but will be suited by the step up to a mile and the easy surface and she looks to hold strong claims in the Bet Direct Tax Free Betting Fillies Handicap over a mile.
William Haggas has his team in good order at present and the three-year-old certainly caught the eye without being knocked about when last seen at Brighton.
No jockey rides Windsor as well as Richard Hughes and he can be on the mark with Coffee Time.
The three-year-old shaped as though retaining all her ability at this course last time when second to Sister In Law and she won't mind ground.
