Confidence rating

I’ve seemed to have tipped a bit of value this weekend, so fingers crossed that I’m right! Races 2, 4 and 5 are ones that I’d avoid. I thought about having Vast Art as my best bet, but I’m just slightly worried about 60kg over 1600m while being on the quick backup. Ihts Closing Inn looks to be in with a really good chance too.
