Big Pete's "Play of the Day":
Race 3:
Both (6) St Lukes and (9) Rvindicated figure to take most of the action in this MCL30k. St Lukes drops in and Rvindicated showed speed against similar at KEE. I will try to beat both with the Noda entry. I prefer (1) C B LOVES A FIGHT over (1A) NOVA LOVES A FIGHT but we get both. C B didn't have his head in the game in his debut as he acted up a little at the gate. I like the jock switch and the Central Banker influence getting 1M on this off track.
$ 7.00 WPS 1 Cost $ 21.00
$ 3.00 Ex Box 1, 6, 9 Cost $ 18.00
Big Pete's Late Pick 3:
Race 7:
(9) ROYAL REALM is the horse to beat and I will use defensively. He gave me a good run for my money last time when he was 10:1. I only like him a little today and like two others a little more. (7) NO BURN is the speed and he has the right jockey up for their game plan. Just go and try to hold on. If they leave him alone, he can take them all the way. I want (2) BLU GOTTO in this spot. He seems to have needed a couple of races to as he looked to be going through the motions in his last two off a layoff. Kimmel drilled a bullet the other day and goes to Jose. All systems go.
$ 7.00 WPS 2 Cost $ 21.00
$ 3.00 Ex Box 2, 7, 9 Cost $ 18.00
Race 8:
(6) MORNING MATCHA comes in with hot after back to back wins at Parx. She would difficult to leave off the ticket and the 7F looks perfect. A must use but I’ll try to beat her with the “other” Central Banker. (9) BANK ON ANNA would not give up in her debut while being wide the whole trip. The extra furlong won’t matter and she should show some speed. I’m looking for her to get some separation coming into the stretch and hold off the closers. (3) LAOBAN’S LEGACY and (5) YO CUZ will offer decent odds as one will stalk and the other close in late
$ 7.00 WPS 9 Cost $ 21.00
$ 3.00 Ex 6, 9 w/ 3, 5, 6, 9 Cost $ 18.00
Race 9:
(12) TAPIZEARANCE may have found the right field and Rice has had more time with him. With the expected off track, this gelding figures to have a lot in his favor. I can’t resist the 10:1 on (6) NO SALT. The surface switch doesn’t bother me as the ability to handle moisture is in his blood. He ran well for Davis in his last and the cutback to 6.5F jumps off the page. I’m all in. (2) UNCLE GEORGE has had many chances but usually shows up. (3) RAVEN ROCKS is fresh off the Weaver claim after a nice win against NW2L.
