Confidence rating

The fact that the track got upgraded to a good 4 hasn’t helped my confidence given that I thought we’d be racing on a soft track. Races 1 and 9 look even, while races 6 and 7 are ones to avoid (especially race 7). The track upgrade will help Weaponson and he showed a good fight last start, so hopefully, he can improve here.
