Analysis:

Race 7: (4) Shutthefrontdoor was wide and finished strongly from a tough spot. I’m going to also use Windsun Glory,(8) who drops for a top barn.

Race 8: (6) World Cup drops off a good effort, (8) Market Share drops and has a lot of back class.

Race 9: This is a tough race. I’m going to use all four of my listed contenders: (1) Battle Mage, (3) Big Expense, (6) Hes An American and (7) Pegasus Point.

Race 10: This is a very tough race to handicap. I’m using all four of my listed contenders (1) Purity, (3) Young American, (6) Flick A Fly and (9) Joyful Game.
