Analysis:

Race 8: (7) Bee In Charge raced gamely against similar in last but I’m also using two horses that are dropping down in class, (4) Stirling Cadet and (5) Iron Mine Bucky.

Race 9: (1) Glenferrie Bronte N takes a key drop. (5) UF Dragon’s Queen also drops and gets a good spot.

Race 10: (3) Two Hip Dip broke early in last but recovered gamely. Some may single him. But (9) Real D J Hanover gets Gingras in the bike second start for new barn, so I’ll include him.

Race 11: This is a tough race so I’m using all four of my listed contenders, 1, 2, 4, 5.
