  • Dark Horse: Sea Shanty (4)

Analysis:

For this fillies and mares handicap, Francilien stands out as a likely contender due to her recent win streak and apprentice weight claim.

  • Dark Horse: We Will Rock You (5)

Analysis:

The final race is another sprint where Blizzard Snow has shown excellent recent form. Striking Angel, coming off an injury, still poses a strong challenge. We Will Rock You should not be discounted given her close finishes, particularly at this distance.
