Big Pete will attack his "Play of the Day" and the late pick 3 (Races 6-8). We appreciate you taking a look at this write-up and GOOD LUCK.

Big Pete's "Play of the Day":


Race 3:


Fresh off the Atras claim, (7) HAZARDOUS HUMOR picks up Franco after an easy win last time. A similar run gets it done today. With several speeds signed on, she figures to get a nice setup and run them down.


I’ll use (3) Willful Desire and (4) Goldcrest in the exacta.


$ 7.00 WPS 7 Cost $ 21.00

$ 3.00 Ex Box 3, 4, 7 Cost $ 18.00


We’ll also use (7) Hazardous Humar in R3 and try to cash in on a Daily Double.


(4) Ride Up or (5) Conniving in the 4th.


$ 7.00 Daily Double 7 w/ 4, 5 Cost $ 14.00


 

Big Pete's Late Pick 3:


Race 6:


(2) MY VANILLA, (4) CAROL SAID NO, and (5) GAGA'S HANDSOME will attract the most attention. All three have a race or two that will win this today. Gaga jumped up several levels in her first attempt against winners. Now she takes a step back and probably found the right field. I can't see past these three.


$ 7.00 WPS 5 Cost $ 21.00

$ 3.00 Ex Box 2, 4, 5 Cost $ 18.00


Race 7:


(5) COLLOQUIAL adds L1 off a fast closing 2nd in his debut. The barn is hot and I'm expecting this one to improve off his first start. He's the one to beat. The main danger is (6) GRAND COMMANDER to take them all the way. If Kendrick can set up shop early, they will be tough to pass. Both should be tough in here if the bring their last race with them. I'll include a savor as well though. Dutrow is hitting the board over 50% of the time and his firster, (3) TOGA D'ORO, is the sleeper. This guy is bred to be fast so I'll include at this 12;1ML.


$ 7.00 WPS 5 Cost $ 21.00

$ 3.00 Ex Box 3, 5, 6 Cost $ 18.00



Race 8:


(1) MOONLIGHT GAL drops and moves back to the dirt. Weaver is 10 for 13 in the money this meet and Manny is up. A lot to like for this Vekoma filly to try and take them all the way. (9) OUR PREFERRED PAL also dropped last time and she tried to steal that one. She couldn't get the 1M, so the slight cutback makes sense. (5) GIANT AT WORK will appreciate the 7F and the L1. This filly will get first jump on the speeds and try to hold them off late. (4) SLY'S PLEASURE will get overlooked in here. The 1M may have been too long for her, so the 7F should help. She can sit chilly and make a run late.


$ 7.00 WPS 4 Cost $ 21.00

$ 3.00 Ex 1, 4 w/ 1, 4, 5, 9 Cost $ 18.00
