Big Pete's "Play of the Day":
Race 3:
With Brown and Saez teaming up and the 2nd choice coming out, they figure to take a lot of action w/ (7) Forced Ranking. That was in the mud and he was not moving forward at the end. Feels like the perfect time to take a shot with one of the firsters. I like the Quality Road colt (5) CITIZEN MACK. Shug is having a meet and his workouts are strong from the gate. The 7F gives this guy a chance to settle early and catch his stride late.
$ 10.00 WPS 5 Cost $ 30.00
$ 7.00 Ex 5 w/ 3, 7 Cost $ 14.00
Big Pete's Late Pick 3:
Race 7:
I’m not a fan of the likely favorite in here so we’ll try to get by without him. (5) GANDY DANCING couldn’t handle the jump up so he returns to the level of his last win. The lack of speed entered is my only concern for this guy. He needs pace. That’s why I landed on (8) JUST RIGHT. He’s not known to gun to the lead but with the switch to Saez, I’m guessing he’ll want the front as there seems to be a void in that department. If he is clear coming into the stretch, I don’t think they catch him. (4) SICILIA MIKE will be coming late but he prefers 2nd more than the win slot. (1) I LOVE JAXSON shows up every so often. His cycle looks as though today should be the day for him.
$ 7.00 WPS 8 Cost $ 21.00
$ 3.00 Ex 1, 8 w/ 1, 4, 5, 8 Cost $ 18.00
Race 8:
(6) ROBIN SPARKLES will draw a lot of attention as there is no secrets what she will do. Go and try to hang on. I think she has company today so I’ll look for something a little more sexy. Perhaps (7) TOO SEXY. This gal has been on fire lately and figures to get a pretty good set up. Lezcano fills in for Clement as she gets the acid test today but I think she’s up to it. (9) RAVEN’S CRY tried to stay with Regal Glory but that’s a big ask. I like the cutback to 6F for Cox and IMO is the filly to beat. (8) INTRODUCED ships in after back to back wins in Jersey. She’s a sprint specialist and looks solid against these.
$ 7.00 WPS 7 Cost $ 21.00
$ 3.00 Ex 7, 9 w/ 6, 7, 8, 9 Cost $ 18.00
Race 9:
I’ll try to win it w/ out the Brown firster as Pletcher cuts back (12) LADY VALENTINE after she failed to hold on going longer. She can stalk or go from out there and should avoid any traffic. (11) LILAC GIRL showed speed and will likely go again. Breeding suggest the 7F won’t be any issue so they probably have to catch this one for the money. I’m looking for (3) MISS BONNIE T to do just that. Johnny V is familiar with her as they just missed on a few occasions. The 7F one turn fits perfect and there is no So Enchantings in here. (10) THESIS BREAK is a Brown firster so I would watch the board close to post. If the money shows, you want to move her up in your vertical plays.
