Confidence rating

It looks to be a pretty even day today with some value on offer. Races 8 and 9 look to be even, while races 2 and 6 are ones that I’d avoid. In terms of Weaponson, this is probably the most nervous I’ve been putting him on top, as I think Be Optimistic is a real threat. He has a good track/distance record though, is in great form this preparation and gets a 3kg claim thanks to Luke. I wouldn’t be surprised to see him get another win on the board here.
