Analysis:

Race 8: I’m using two singles, starting with (5) Roundtown Rocker; he dropped to this level last time and raced gamely from post 10.

Race 9: (6) OK Heavenly is a good race mare and she is accustomed to facing faster; key drop.

Race 10: This race is a scramble. I’m going to use all four of my listed contenders, 1, 3, 6, 7.

Race 11: This may prove to be a tricky race, so I’m using all four of my listed contenders, 2, 4, 5, 9.
