Confidence rating

Plenty of open races and given last week’s results, there’s every opportunity that more valuable horses could get up again. Races 2 and 6 were ones in particular that I would avoid, while races 3, 4 and 9 look to be even. I’m excited to be heading trackside this Saturday though to see Changing Guard have his first Saturday run. I would have liked some rain and while this is definitely a tougher assignment, he’s been racing really well, so fingers crossed for five wins in a row!
