SELECTIONS: SPORTS WRACK (4), THE BLAZINBOOTS (3), ARTIST (6), IM THE REASON (1)
OVERVIEW: This is a very competitive opener to the 10-race card, making it hard to narrow it down to just four horses. SPORTS WRACK (4) is an experienced performer who is racing better than his numerical form suggests. He’s had some really tough races recently and has still been performing well. If he maps better here, he finds a race to get back into the winner’s circle. THE BLAZINBOOTS (3) has been quite impressive at his last three starts, finishing second on each occasion. In one of those runs, he flashed home very well from the back of the field, while in the other two he raced in the breeze. All three starts were from barrier five, and he’s versatile enough to handle different scenarios. He gets a better barrier here. ARTIST (6) has been racing well and has the best sectional times in this event, but the barrier is sticky. IM THE REASON (1) is second-up and should improve from his first-up third at this track. The barrier is suitable.
