Craig Zackey has nine rides on the card and may be the jockey worth following.

Jimmy The Rich writes that Arverni Warrior from the Lucky Houdalakis stable takes his place in Race 3 and is the possible PA banker.
He has shown good improvement in each of his outings to date. He raced from a handy position last time, but was caught in the latter stages.
It must be noted that the form of his last outing has been franked. The son of Vercingetorix meets the right field this afternoon and he should shed his maiden tag.
Brett Warren saddles Supreme Dance in Race 9. He produced a decent comeback run over 1400m on this course.
The manner in which he finishes off his races suggests that he will be at home over the 1800m.
The son of Futura will strip a much fitter horse this afternoon and may be the one to side with.
