I can't say I agree with any of your picks .... here are mine.

These are my selections so far:
Race 1 - Robert Royale
Race 2 - Daimyo
Race 3 - Streets Of Fire
Race 4 - General Patton
Race 5 - Imprisoned
Race 6 - Coincidental
Race 7 - Beamer
Race 8 - Allegro Spiritoso

I am not really good at picking them though so feel yourself warned.
