Confidence rating

The confidence rating has its ups and downs this week. I like to think that my top tips have a chance of at least placing though. Races 2 and 5 I’d definitely avoid (though hopefully I’ve found some value) while races 7 and 9 look to even. I thought First Encounter was a bit short to be a best bet, but he does have good form.
