Kennedy to Win Race 1 and Race 3. Race 5 Whipping Boy big Places small Wins...

Kennedy has a race on his hand in Race 1 me thinks. All of 1,6,8 and 10 could win. In race 3 I don’t see the 1 horse missing the top 3, perhaps nom 4 could make her run... The Lotus formline doesn’t look that great? Will be screaming Whipping boy home 💪🏼

I also think it's a hard race.
Not sure how good the first two timers are.

I have been burnt by Alex the Great before as he is one of those horses that put up great performances in Graduation Plates (notice 7 lengths to Singforafa giving him 2.5 kgs), only to fluff his lines back in a handicap - but back over the 1000 I think today will be his day

i fancy Top Draw in the last. 5/1 11/2 .

Brings war room form line to a very poor field

Break a leg - that last race looks very open to me

Others that I fancy on the card are The Brass Way - overdue to won imo and has dropped another couple of points in the ratings - and Palace Green - if the jock can get him into a decent position from a killer draw
