Big Pete's "Play of the Day":

Race 4:

(2) MR. MENDELSSOHN has the stalking style that will help in here. There are several that want the lead and some of them need it. This should make the pace honest enough for someone to come late. He cuts back to 6F today and should be coming late.

I’ll use (1) Prince of Truth and (7) Gimme Gimme to fill in the place spot.

$ 7.00 WPS 2 Cost $ 21.00

$ 3.00 Ex 1, 2, 7 Cost $ 18.00

We’ll also use (2) Mr. Mendelssohn in R4 and try to cash in on a Daily Double.

(3) Sittin Chilly and (7) Magic Beach look sharp in R5.

$ 7.00 Daily Double 6 w/ 2, 7 Cost $ 14.00

On Vacation so just Picks
