Big Pete's "Play of the Day":

Race 3:

A case can be made for each entrant as six go at it. I'll take the stalker to make the first move and hold off the closers. (4) IRON MAX made the lead in mid stretch last time and just couldn't hold on. That similar run will give him another chance in this one. That was his second race off a layoff and the third time should be the charm. Cox switches to Jamie as Franco stays with Jack and Jim.

I’ll use (2) Just For Luck and (3) Annexperience to complete the exacta.

$ 7.00 WPS 4 Cost $ 21.00

$ 7.00 Ex 4 w/ 2, 3 Cost $ 14.00

We’ll also use (4) Iron Max in R3 and try to cash in on a Daily Double.

(7) Anna Brocknana and (8) Gattatiz in the 4th.

$ 7.00 Daily Double 4 w/ 7, 8 Cost $ 14.00

Big Pete's Late Pick 3:

Race 8:

(7) ALWAYS HONEST has speed to be dangerous if left alone. Not much speed signed on here so he could get brave up front. (6) INONIT has been collecting checks and they let the aggressive Jamie take over. They should be coming late. (5) MO CURLS drops for this. The last time they were at this level, he came in 2nd. They seem live today.

$ 7.00 WPS 5 Cost $ 21.00

$ 3.00 Ex 5, 6 w/ 5, 6, 7 Cost $ 12.00

Race 9:

(4) RESIDE switches barns and cuts back slightly. That will help. (1) MONTE AVI picked it up lately and could make the first move and hope that the others don't notice. (2) SHELLAC didn't care for the mud first time out for Rice. They should be more prepared 2nd time out. (3) RED MILLER looks strong in here and that's where I landed. Davis chooses this guy and they cut back slightly.

$ 7.00 WPS 3 Cost $ 21.00

$ 3.00 Ex 3, 4 w/ 1, 2, 3, 4 Cost $ 18.00

Race 10:

(3) GARDEN OF GRACE and (8) TUTHILLTOWN will get a lot of support as both have collected and keep hitting the board. I prefer TUT with Zayas returning. Two first time starters, (9) WAITIN'ONAPROMISE and (12) COME MONDAY are two more that I'll use to close this late pick 3 out. The connections and jockeys usually should up.
