Big Pete's "Play of the Day":
Race 3:
All are in search of their second win, so there really aren't any standouts with this bunch. Egyptian and Come Full Circle will take most of the action as they finished right next to each other last time. Both should be fighting it out, but I want to try and beat them with (3) SMALLCHANGEGEEP. Davis is hitting the money 50% of the time since he returned from his injury and seems focused on getting his mounts back. Geep's race two back puts him right there to run down several speeds in here.
I’ll use (1) Egyptian and (7) Come Full Circle underneath for the exacta.
$ 7.00 WPS 3 Cost $ 21.00
$ 7.00 Ex 3 w/ 1, 7 Cost $ 14.00
We’ll also use (3) Smallchangegeep in R3 and try to cash in on a Daily Double.
(3) Channelview and (5) Emerald Ember in the 4th.
$ 7.00 Daily Double 3 w/ 3, 5 Cost $ 14.00
Big Pete's Late Pick 3:
Race 7:
Both Bolt D'oro's hit the board when they met back in April. (8) THIRTEEN G'S got the show money and let (4) TOGA D'ORO get by late for the place. They both tried better next time out and that didn't work out, so they drop back down to the right spot. I'll use both, but I like (6) MOMENT'S NOTICE in this spot. He may not have cared for the mud last time, but the two tries before that effort stand out with this group. Manny stays, and there is enough speed inside to make his late kick count.
$ 7.00 WPS 6 Cost $ 21.00
$ 3.00 Ex Box 4, 6, 8 Cost $ 18.00
Race 8:
(1) DELIGHTFUL FLAME is one of the speeds that can shake loose. Katie has tried that in all three of her attempts on this runner. It resulted in three 2nd place finishes. Maybe she can get over the hump this time. (2) I'M MO JOKE shipped in last time and just went one pace all around. Maybe she needed that one with the change of scenery and travel. She has had two works since. (5) GRISELDA needs to shake off the cobwebs of being off for a while. She started her career sprinting and cuts back today. (6) CAPTURING is solid for Pletcher. She usually picks up checks. She's where I landed to run by late.
$ 7.00 WPS 6 Cost $ 21.00
$ 3.00 Ex 1, 6 w/ 1, 2, 5, 6 Cost $ 18.00
Race 9:
(2) OCEAN ATLANTIQUE is the one to beat as he goes for three in a row. Manny returning helps. The wise guy pick is (3) CLASSIC CREATION. Some speed and draws inside. Dylan will try to steal it. I want the Frosted gelding, (8) FROSTED OVER, to come running late in this spot. He just missed two back and then was a little over his head in the Niagara. His speed figures match up well with this group and the 8:1 ML might hold.
