Trainer Steven Reid heads to Alexandra Park tonight expecting to win two races but hoping for three.
And while that level of confidence is rare for almost any trainer on a strong Friday night, Reid has winter's magic formula on his side.
Every winter good two and three-year-old horses coming out of the classics and Jewels drop back into the grades and more often than not savage their inferior opponents.
Reid has a double helping of that tonight, with Utmost Delight (race five) and Star Galleria (race seven) having been players in the group ones this season so they pick themselves even from wide draws in their respective legs of Pick6.
Star Galleria struggled through autumn after looking like an equine jet in the spring but last start he led and smashed similar opposition to what he meets tonight.
