Analysis:

Race 8: This race is wide open. I am using all four of my listed contenders, 1, 2, 5, 7.

Race 9: I think some players will single (2) Stormont Wizard, but I’m also using (3) You’re Majestic and (8) Alexander Hanover in a competitive race.

Race 10: This is wide open. Once again, I have to try all four of my listed contenders, 1, 3, 5, 7.

Race 11: I wouldn’t say this is an easy race but I’m going to try a single with (6) Keegan Ho, who technically isn’t dropping, but faced better last time.
