Race 5 The Ultimate king scratched . Futurewolff over 2000m
Race 6 Instant Attraction
Race 7 Blind Ambition
Race 8 4/2/10/14 In no specific order
Race 9 Terrible field Hammies hero for me. Walled Garden for the exacta

It was mentioned on Turf Talk this morning that there is no false rail on the inside - I checked the Card Changes this morning and it states that the outside rail has been moved inwards 5 metres - traditionally it means that the draw bias is advantageous down the inside - still need to check the results in the 2nd and especially the 3rd race .....

Imo I think best bet is Dylan's Champ (especially that the main rival seems to be King of Numbers ridden by an appie and it has drawn on the stands side). Also Alone Time on his last run ran to much higher so if he repeats that run he would be hard to beat - on the down side, he has not been performing to that level recently and has drawn 17 as well.

Enjoy

good afternoon can please clarify the 1st timer rules for bipots.. does the 3rd horse qualify if a 1st timer wins.. or must it be 2 first timers for the 3rd horse to qualify?

The first raced horse will qualify only if first and second are both first timers
 

Muzi must be really frustrated having run 2nd  in 4 races one after the other.

I got caught in that trap as well - I suppose it would not have mattered before the rule-change, but you would think that as 2 horses qualify for the BP, you would assume that if one of them is a first-timer, the 3rd horse would qualify - but not - cost me the BP today with a few others I assume 

Results today were pretty hard to believe
