Big Pete's "Play of the Day":
Race 4:
There are several in here that want and need the lead. That could spell trouble for all of them as we should get a perfect set-up for stalkers. I'll lean on the Finger Lakes shipper, (5) PAPA TOM B to come late for the money. He's been facing similar out west and the times aren't that bad. Any left over moisture will help and his last speed figure is best of this group.
$ 7.00 WPS 5 Cost $ 21.00
$ 3.00 Ex Box 5, 7, 9 Cost $ 18.00
Big Pete's Late Pick 3:
Race 6:
This looks like a two horse race to me but we'll include three. (5) COFFEE BAR started her career on this track and has hit the board on all three attempts here. Her maiden score jumps off the page so if she is anywhere near that effort today, the rest are running for 2nd. (6) DESTINATIONWNRSCIR has faced similar this year and looks competitive She lures Davis after taking money in two stakes races at Finger Lakes. A Re-Pete of her maiden score here at the Big A would be enough today. I'll toss an outsider (9) EMPIRES FIRST LADY as she tries dirt again. Distance and moisture is what she needs and both may be present at post.
$ 7.00 WPS 5 Cost $ 21.00
$ 3.00 Ex Box 5, 6, 9 Cost $ 18.00
Race 7:
(3) REPO ROCKS woke up in a big way in his last. Settled just off the speeds and went by with little effort. He was geared down late so I'm guessing he has some more in the tank. If he Re-Pete's that effort, look out. (1) BUSTIN SHOUT has the rail and the speed. McCarthy will likely go early. If he can clear Siena Magic, he could be tough to reel in. (11) AMERICAN MONARCH responded to L1 and the slop when he tried them for the first time. He picks up Jose and goes a little farther. Both a positive for this 3 year old.
$ 7.00 WPS 3 Cost $ 21.00
$ 3.00 Ex Box 1, 3, 11 Cost $ 18.00
Race 8:
A tough bunch to figure in this finale as each one of them has issues. The lightly raced Central Banker, (8) BAIL OUT THE BANK, is where I landed. Rice puts go to guy Lezcano up after a sharp bullet last week for his 2nd start. The 1M is not any issue as they should set up shop mid pack and close in late. (9) EL MAYOR will likely take some money in here as he was a decent 4th last time moving back to the dirt. His last speed figure is best of this bunch and doesn't need to improve much to tackle these. The last time Davis was aboard (3) SONIC SPEED they closed to get the show on the Spa turf. His best dirt race came on this track a year ago vs MSW. He's working well for his return to NY Bred competition nd we should get all of his 10:1 ML. Count me In.
