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.

Card model top pick
#2 · 22%

Maiden Claiming, for fillies and mares, 5-year-olds, restricted to state-bred (registered) horses.

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 6 Furlongs: 67.13

The shape is the story here: the early pace looks honest rather than contested — expect a fairly run race where class and trip decide it, not pace collapse.

Our number tops on #2 Legion Heiress (early speed, M/L 7-2). Recent figures: 52 · 57 · 49. It hit the board last time and stays in form. Backup is #7 Comfort Dance at 4-1. Use #5 Markofafighter 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 #2 LEGION HEIRESS (7-2) — our number agrees.
  • #2 LEGION HEIRESS — our top number on the card, about right at the windows (23.1% to their 24.5%).
  • #7 COMFORT DANCE — our #2 number, about right at the windows (21.6% to their 22.1%).
  • #3 PLEASIN N TEASIN — our #5 number, about right at the windows (15.6% to their 18.4%).

Model vs the morning line · analysis, not advice

  • #5 MARKOFAFIGHTER — we make it 14.8%, the morning line works out to 12.3%. 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.
