Hello All,
Slim picking today, at least before I see the tote, I am working today and may have limited time to post bonus plays. Here are the races I'm looking at before scratches, weather, etc,
Bta6 5 1/2F Claim4000n3l
Tied for third on my line at 9/2 is
Early Retirement, 6-1ML. All the horse above him are coming off layoffs and this Gelding drops out of allowance company back to a level he belongs at after showing some speed to the 1/4 before stopping first start back from a layoff. Should be up near the lead in this one, jockey Mojica is on fire which is probably not going to help the price
Pick
@ 7-1 or better
Lrl6 6F WClm10000n2l
Tied for first on my line at 6-1 is
Five Card Draw, 12-1ML, show a nice closing kick in last vs 5000 claimers which was the first race off a layoff. Steps up off the claim and could be a price due to the closing style.
Pick:
Five Card Draw @ 10-1 or better.
GG7 6F Clm20000n2lx
First on my line at 4-1 is
Sing in the Wind, ML 5-1. Ran at 5F on turf in last first off a layoff and did not show much but had a sneaky little gain in the stretch into an 11.60sec final 1/8 vs open 20k claimer. Gets back to her preferred dirt surface here vs conditioned claimers.
Pick:
Singing in the Wind @ 6-1 or better
GG9 1M Clm3200n2lx
Actually looking at two horses in here. The first one, tied for second on the line at 6-1 is
Chieftains Lad,ML10-1 owns the #1MP pace fig in the race,and drops in here after a horrible looking race on the turf vs. better. The second horse is
Baby Frankie, 10-1ML showed decent speed in last 1M vs open claimers. Should fit well vs. these.
Pick(s)
Chieftains Lad @ 8-1 or better
Baby Frankie @13-1 or better
That's all I see early, will at least try to update these races based upon scratches or weather but no guarantees today.
As usual best of luck and happy hunting today to everyone,
Best,
M
