Big Pete's "Play of the Day":

Race 3:

(6) MURSAL will be one of three that will take some money. She has the speed to move early and control the race. The track has been favoring this style so until it changes, we'll side with this runner. If the first two races play fair, (1) Pink Rose becomes a major player. but under current track bias, Mursal has to be the play.

$ 7.00 WPS 6 Cost $ 21.00

$ 5.00 Ex 6 w/ 1, 2 Cost $ 10.00

We’ll also use (6) Mursal in R3 and try to cash in on a Daily Double.

(4) Nilo's Rose and (6) Soundbite in the 4th.

$ 7.00 Daily Double 6 w/ 4, 6 Cost $ 14.00

Big Pete's Late Pick 3:

Race 6:

Two questionable rides for (6) BIG HAT WILLIE and Abreu has seen enough. He calls on Prat to right the ship. He was way against the track last time being 5 wide but has to deal with a similar track. Prat will use him early to get position and that should make the difference. (7) SCOOT DADDY has been running decent figures at several different tracks. He'll need the track to be a little more fair to give him a chance. They bring in his regular rider from out of town and this is his only mount. Maybe we have a live one today. (2) REMI'S MOON retains Manny after being claimed. They get a little aggressive and jump up a level.

$ 7.00 WPS 7 Cost $ 21.00

$ 5.00 Ex 6, 7 w/ 2, 6, 7 Cost $ 20.00

Race 7:

With two of the speeds coming out, (1) THE TOY CANNON looms large with the way the track has been playing. Either way, this Cox runner can control the front early and win it going into the turn. Jamie will gun him and with Flay Out underneath, any left over moisture will carry him home. Both (3) THE OBLITERATOR and (6) NO BEES will try to close in late. Tough task against this track condition.

$ 7.00 WPS 1 Cost $ 21.00

$ 3.00 Ex Box 1, 3, 6 Cost $ 18.00

Race 8:

(2) CLARIVIDENTE and (3) SALUTE TO SERVICE have the speed figures to control this one through out. One of them needs to shake loose or they both will duel themselves out. Cox has two entered. The rail runner may be the rabbit for (5) CRAVINGS. They add Manny and L1 for her first try against winners. They saw something in this Essential Quality to claim her away and the bullet last week shows it.
