Confidence rating

It’s a good card to end the carnival on, but that doesn’t exactly help my confidence. Races 3 and 4 look to be particularly nasty while 2 and 6 are even. We see The Velvet Queen run second up in the last race. She always gets back in her runs, so I am worried that from barrier 3, she may get stuck on the fence in traffic. Conditions look to suit though and she’s an ultra-consistent mare. I’m crossing everything for back to back wins, but I think Big Screen should be respected at good odds.
