I’ve come up with selections below for every race on all four days. The 1-2-3-4-5 is not a prediction of the order I expect them to finish, but represents my first choice, second choice, third choice etc. I’ve done it this way to cover for potential non-runners or late switches of race, and also because it is well worth considering backing more than one horse per race, given how competitive the fields are. All selections should be considered potential win or each/way bets. Good luck!
