THOROUGHBREDS
Doesn't appear to be going as good as it has in the past and I am happy to continue to risk this horse until I see some improvement or indication that it is trending towards a win.
Seymour: Race 4; #15 Faithful Champion 
I saw Faithful Champion on debut at The Valley and I wouldn't be surprised if he needs three or four runs to get fully fit this preparation, he had every chance and dropped out badly first-up, I'll be laying win and place.
Seymour: Race 5; #10 Jordy Girl
Jordy Girl can win but has come up a bit short for me, she bolted in two back but that was on her home town Cup day and often, you need to factor in some regression at their next couple of starts after that. Star Honour ran well in much harder grade last start, won two on the bounce prior and although she has map issues here, she's still favourite in my market. Nothing went right for Smokey Warrior first-up at The Valley, I'm still confident she has ability and can bounce back.
Seymour: Race 8; #4 Red Columbine
I am happy to risk Red Columbine. Produced an excellent performance first-up and is better suited stepping up to this distance range however jockey Logan McNeil is striking at just 4% his last 50 rides so I can't take a horse this short in the market based on the jockey's current form.
