In Races 2, 3, 5 & 7 he rides the highest SFR (Statfreaks Rating) horse in each race.

Standouts:

Race 2, N1 Foodie King – Will find this easier than last start when far from disgraced in the BM84 Parkes Cup. Looks to be crying out for more ground which he gates here and handles all conditions. He has the highest SFR in this race and the 3rd highest SFR at the meeting. Nick Heywood is going at a solid 18%-win strike rate when riding in staying races and an impressive 50%-win strike rate when riding horses that settle on-pace.

Race 5, N5 Ida’s Rules – Broke maiden status last start in impressive fashion and finds herself in a very winnable Class 1 second up. Should find the lead comfortably from the inside gate and take plenty of catching on current form. She has the highest SFR in this race and the 2nd highest SFR at the meeting. Nick Heywood is going at a nice 17%-win strike rate when riding in sprint races and an excellent 38%-win strike rate when riding horses that settle in the lead. This is also Nick Heywoods best ride at the meeting as per our SFR.
