Analysis:

Race 7: (7) Market Share is going to be no value here but needs to find a way to lose in a race where he clearly is the best horse.

Race 8: This is a wide open race. I’m going to use all four of my listed contenders.

Race 9: (4) Landonfitz gets a catch driver and (2) I C Caviar drops down.

Race 10: This race isn’t easy but my Best Bet is (2) Joyful Game and I’ll single this one off the drop in class and switch to Victor Kirby.
