Big Pete's "Play of the Day":
Race 3:
(5) ROMANTIC DANCER ran into a fiesty red head last time who is headed for stakes action. She was moving well to get 2nd to Lucille and the extra distance will only help. She stalks a few front runners and then takes over through the lane.
I’ll use (1) Despo's Dream and (3) Atarah underneath for the exacta.
$ 7.00 WPS 5 Cost $ 21.00
$ 7.00 Ex 5 w/ 1, 3 Cost $ 14.00
We’ll also use (5) Romantic Dancer in R3 and try to cash in on a Daily Double.
(2) Raghba and (6) Lost Horizon in the 4th.
$ 7.00 Daily Double 5 w/ 2, 6 Cost $ 14.00
Big Pete's Late Pick 3:
Race 5:
(6) LEADING ROLE and (4) PANAGIOTIS will via for the front with the scratch. If either can control, they become dangerous. I'm leaning towards one of the stalkers/closers to come late with a meltdown up front. (3) AIRBORNE ELITE was not with it last time and threw in the towel early. Potts is off to a quick start and gives the keys to the hot rider. I landed on (5) CAPT JAX PARROW to get on track late in this one. He was too far back in his most recent run which may have prompted the switch to Elliot for this. He faces a weak bunch today and should be moving better than these late.
$ 7.00 WPS 5 Cost $ 21.00
$ 3.00 Ex 5, 6 w/ 3, 4, 5, 6 Cost $ 18.00
Race 6:
(8) STOLEN BASE was claim by Cox at the Spa and was put on the self. Clearly something went wrong He's been working steady now in the AM and I'm expecting this barn to have him ready to roll. (5) SYSTEMIC CHANGE is on a roll right now and is a must use for me. (2) FEELING WOOZY has the speed to be dangerous if they forget about him. The sleeper is (4) RIDGEWOOD RUNNER. He's fresh off the claim and in career form. A fast start for his new handlers this meet and has speed figures that top this group if Nevin can find them.
$ 7.00 WPS 4 Cost $ 21.00
$ 3.00 Ex 4, 8 w / 2, 4, 5, 8 Cost $ 18.00
Race 7:
(1) TOGA DAN broke his maiden with Prat up and they reunite today. They should sit pretty right behind the speed duel and pick them up late. (2) SMILENSAYCHEESE will follow that move as he likes to stalk and come running late too. Both look like the leading contenders. I want to try a price in here. (4) THIS TIME YES ran a similar number than these in his last race when shipped in from the Lakes. He was very wide that day and faced slightly better. This is an easier spot and the extra distance won't be an issue.
