Big Pete's "Play of the Day":
Race 3:
Cheap claimers go 1M as this group struggles to get their 2nd win of their career. Furry Fox will get some action and Another Cleeshay moves back to dirt for Sharp. Both are must use for me but I want to take a shot with (6) HANDLE ON YOU getting back on a dry track. Rudy is heating up and the extra distance should help this Solomini plod along. She will make them earn it late.
I’ll use (3) Furry Fox and (4) Another Cleeshay underneath for the exacta.
$ 7.00 WPS 6 Cost $ 21.00
$ 3.00 Ex Box 3, 4, 6 Cost $ 18.00
We’ll also use (6) Handle On You in R3 and try to cash in on a Daily Double.
(2) With The Angels or (6) Practical Lov in the 4th.
$ 7.00 Daily Double 6 w/ 2, 6 Cost $ 14.00
Big Pete's Late Pick 3:
Race 6:
Prat gives (6) SIGHT TO SEE another try and they drop her back into a claimer. She ran well enough two back and looks tough today. (1) I'M BUZZY shows up every now and then and may have found the right field. She comes late. I'll include a sleeper and use (4) CARARRA who has shown a little more speed after the claim against better and now drops back in for a tag.
$ 7.00 WPS 6 Cost $ 21.00
$ 3.00 Ex Box 1, 4, 6 Cost $ 18.00
Race 7:
(5) WINNEBAGO cuts back to sprinting and Prat takes the call. I doubt we get the 5:1ML as he faced some decent runners since he's been in the US. The only other one I like is (3) HILARIOUS AFFAIR. He will likely stalk and come running. Rosario just needs to time it right.
$ 7.00 WPS 5 Cost $ 21.00
$ 3.00 Ex 3, 5 w/ 3, 5, 8 Cost $ 12.00
Race 8:
(1) CONSIDER ME FIRST and (5) JUST AL0OF are first timers from sharp barns. They are breed to win early. (3) BELLE OF GEORGIA will draw a lot of attention with her decent effort last time. She can take the wire to wire if they leave her alone. (4) MIS BRUNELLAS is the "other" Mott with stable rider up. They are looking for a one to finish with both fillies staying in.
