Race Overview
WIND OF CHANGE (1) arrives after two good runs at this track, both over course and distance late last month, with a win and a second on the latest of them. Both races were in Class 3 handicaps. He is marginally preferred to KENZAL (2) who has been fourth on his last three starts, the latest over course and distance behind the selection on January 28th. On slightly better terms he can make things interesting. NOBLE AMBER (5) and DANCE AHEAD (3) are both logical options each way.
Selection:
1 - 2 - 5
