Sunday action from the Big A. We have eight to tackle with no feature. I will be condensing my plays down to just the numbers and attacking the early double. (Races 1 & 2) and a spot pick 3 (Races 3-5). Big Pete will attack his "Play of the Day" and the late pick 3 (Races 6-8). We appreciate you taking a look at this write-up and GOOD LUCK.

Little Pete's $ 5.00 Early Double:

R1: 2, 3

R2: 2, 3 Cost: $ 20.00

Little Pete's $ 1.00 Spot Pick 3:

R3: 2, 3, 4

R4: 4, 5

R5: 3, 4, 5 Cost: $ 18.00

R8: 2, 7 Cost: $ 24.00

Big Pete's "Play of the Day":

Race 3:

Collect The Data will be tough to beat if she's allowed to run her race. I think that's why Rice has two entered to try to tag team their way to a win. Both are owned by her so it's her call. Sweetest Princess will try to apply pressure and look to go wire to wire. This will make the heavy favorite work a little to help set up (3) ALWAYS ANGES. She will sit chilly and wait for Kendrick to let her loose. If the others back up, she catches them.

I’ll use (2) Sweetest Princess and (4) Collect The Data underneath for the exacta.

$ 7.00 WPS 3 Cost $ 21.00

$ 3.00 Ex Box 2, 3, 4 Cost $ 18.00

We’ll also use (3) Always Angels in R3 and try to cash in on a Daily Double.

(4) Faithful Lightning and (5) Roger Roger in the 4th.

$ 7.00 Daily Double 3 w/ 4, 5 Cost $ 14.00

Big Pete's Late Pick 3:

Race 6:

(4) GARAMOND is one of the speeds and it's Brown and Prat. The scratch helps with less pace so Prat will take advantage of that. I'll include (5) TOXIC GRAY. He doesn't like to win with twice as many place finishes but, he tries every race. If Garamond brings his C game, Toxic can make it interesting late. The other contender is (1) RANGER BATTALION who has picked up his game recently. Some of his best races have come at this sprint distance. He found the right group here.

$ 7.00 WPS 1 Cost $ 21.00

$ 3.00 Ex Box 1, 4, 5 Cost $ 18.00

Race 7:

(6) CURVINO goes out the third time for Rice so it's now or never for this gelding to show up. A must use but I like Prat getting on (4) HOUSE UNITED for the first time. He's made some improvements recently and the jock switch indicates that he's doing well leading up to this. Returns on six days rest. Both (2) SENEGAL and (5) KAVANAUGH can run a big one as they jogged in their last and move up a little.

$ 7.00 WPS 4 Cost $ 21.00

$ 3.00 Ex 4, 5 w/ 2, 4, 5, 6 Cost $ 18.00

Race 8:

Scratches have all but handed the race to (7) MOON GATE. The potential speeds to press her are out. Kendrick will push to the front and carry this filly all the way around. The remaining foes show no sign of life anymore and it looks like a public work out to me. We'll try to get (2) DOLCE SERA to weave through the tiring horses to get the place. I'll include in the Pick 3 incase Carmouche falls off the horse.
