Confidence rating

Track is currently a soft 5 going into Saturday’s meeting, but I wouldn’t be surprised to see it upgraded to a good 4. Race 2 is one that I’d avoid, while races 6 and 9 also look to be even. Whatever the result is in race 5 (and the race I’m probably most excited about outside of the feature race), it will definitely be one to follow form wise going forward.
