Analysis:
Race 3: (1) Back Home Again draws the rail in a field of strugglers and her post could be the deciding factor. (2) Sa De Me Lady looks to be one of several who could do well in here.
Race 4: (1) Broadway Petera. Some of her lines do not look too bad and not too bad is good enough in here.
Race 5: (2) Bio Link has been a streaky sort as of late; could win here if she is on her game. (3) I Think Im Dreamin has been first or second eight times already this year; looks to do well again.
Race 6: (5) Miss HKB looks to be one of the major players in here. (7) TT’s Little Lass could not have had a worse trip last time; could win here with a better steer.
Race 7: (3) Blue Time Ice Lady drops in class and looks to get the job done. (4) Whoville changes barns and could wake-up for her new connections.
