Analysis:

Race 7: (5) Ashley’s Husband is my Best Bet tonight, but I’m going to use (2) Hillbilly Hanover as well because this horse has a lot of back class and has won two in a row.

Race 8: I was going to single (3) Lady Shadow here, but I decided to throw in (1) Sassa Hanover as well. She was a solid second in last and she hasn’t been this good in a while.

Race 9: This race is tough. I’m using all four of my listed contenders, (1) Major Bubbles N, (2) Fearless Leader N, (3) Show Me Up and (4) The Spy, which is actually six horses because two of them are entries.

Race 10: This appears to be a two horse race between sharp 3-year-old (3) Bar Hopping and division leader (6) Resolve.
