How to read these marks
- 1 2 3
- Our top three by the card model's win chance. Tap “Our order” to sort by it.
- Win %, Fair
- The card model's chance to win, and the odds that chance works out to with no takeout. Fair is green when the model rates the horse above its morning line (the line scaled to add up to 100%).
- Tier A B C ?
- The field ranked on recent speed figures and the morning line together: A = top three, B = next three, C = the rest, ? = no figures yet.
- 71 60 72
- Last three speed figures, newest first. “@trip 75” = best figure at today's distance (within 30 yards) on this surface.
- ▲▲ ▲ ► ▼ ▼▼
- Form: last figure against the average of the three before it. ▲ = up 3 or more, ▲▲ = up 8 or more, ► = within 3, ▼ / ▼▼ = down. The number is the difference.
- ≡ ↕
- ≡ steady: the last four figures sit close together. ↕ up-and-down: they swing widely.
- ★
- Best figure in the field at today's distance and surface, from two or more tries, not tied. When that horse isn't in our top three it gets a “Distance horse” note above the field.
- ▲ ▼ chips
- Handicapping angles for or against the horse. LS = longshot read: 8-1 or more on the morning line and the model rates it higher than that line.
These marks describe the past performances. None of them is proven to beat the odds: in our test of 100 handicapping angles, nothing did better than the final odds, and the morning-line favourite wins more races than our top-ranked horse. Read them as notes, not as a reason to bet.

Maiden Claiming, for fillies, 2-year-olds.
Maiden claiming — for horses that have never won, and every starter is also for sale at the claiming price. Typically the easiest class of race.
● Track record at 1 Mile: 91.41
The shape is the story here: 3 confirmed front-runners should pressure each other early, which tilts the race toward stalkers and closers who can pick up the pieces late.
Our number tops on #9 Sass Sass (a presser/stalker, M/L 9-5). Recent figures: 73 · 62 · 81. It hit the board last time and stays in form. Backup is #1 Starship Contender at 5-1. Use #7 Fib in exotic structures.
What would change our mind: a key scratch that reshapes the early pace, a sharp turf-to-dirt or surface switch off the rail, or live money showing up on a horse the board had dismissed. Watch the tote late.

At a glance: model vs the morning line
At a glance
- Market favourite #9 SASS SASS (9-5) — our number agrees.
- #9 SASS SASS — our top number on the card, and the board's letting him go too cheap — we make him 38.9%, they've got 27.9%.
- #7 FIB — our #3 number, and the board's letting him go too cheap — we make him 21.2%, they've got 14.2%.
- #1 STARSHIP CONTENDER — our #2 number, and the board's letting him go too cheap — we make him 20.0%, they've got 13.0%.
Model vs the morning line
- #9 SASS SASS — we make it 38.9%, the morning line works out to 27.9%. That gap is the model's opinion, not a price; pools pay the final odds, and on our records these gaps haven't paid off.
- #7 FIB — we make it 21.2%, the morning line works out to 14.2%. That gap is the model's opinion, not a price; pools pay the final odds, and on our records these gaps haven't paid off.
- #1 STARSHIP CONTENDER — we make it 20.0%, the morning line works out to 13.0%. That gap is the model's opinion, not a price; pools pay the final odds, and on our records these gaps haven't paid off.
- Longshot the model rates above its line: #5 SHEA'S A DEVIL (12-1) — our fair 8.1% is above the morning line's 6.0%; needs the trip to fall right.
