Belmont: Friday 11/6 Plays R8 - Pete's Picks

Eight races on this Friday card but rain may move some of the grass races over. I will be condensing my plays down to just the numbers and attacking the early double starting in R2 (Races 1 & 2) and a spot pick 3 (Races 3-5). Big Pete will attack his "Play of the Day" and the late pick 3 (Races 6-8). We appreciate you taking a look at this write-up and GOOD LUCK.

Big Pete's "Play of the Day":
Race 3:
(1) TARTAH drops to a level he can compete and has a race over the surface. Carmouche takes over for a barn who is off and running this meet. Look for them to come out running early to establish the inside rail and save ground.
I’ll use (11) Mitofury and (4) Monaco Crown underneath for the exacta.
$ 7.00 WPS 1 Cost $ 21.00
$ 3.00 Ex Box 1, 4, 11 Cost $ 18.00
We’ll also use (1) Tartah in R3 and try to cash in on a Daily Double.
(2) Kid's Khanclusion and (5) Brilliant Fury in the 4th.
$ 7.00 Daily Double 1 w/ 2, 5 Cost $ 14.00
Big Pete's Late Pick 3:
Race 6:
(10) PENELOPE ROSE is one of two entered for Clement. The other one showed speed, and that could be the target for Rose to come late and collect. (4) CHARISMA COMMAND is a first-timer that attracts Prat. That's enough for me to include. Casse also has two in here. I like them both, but (8) STORM DIVA has some speed, and that is an advantage in these sprints. Castellano takes over, and he'll get her clear and forward right out of the gate. If she can't get the extra distance, (7) ZIPLINE will be coming late to clean up.
$ 7.00 WPS 8 Cost $ 21.00
$ 3.00 Ex 8, 10 w/ 4, 7, 8, 10 Cost $ 18.00
Race 7:
It says a lot about this group that I'll lean more on two horses that both eased in their last race. (7) TUSCAN SKY is stretching out, but it still is one turn. Prat returning is a good sign, as is the bullet work on the 31st. Looking for this guy to rebound with a big effort. The same can be said for (5) FULL SCREEN. They shipped in to a tiny oval and did no running without medication. They juice him up today, and his AM sessions are far better than the rest in here. Expecting a big effort today with these wide turns. (6) COOL INTENTIONS has been fast with high-speed figures in both of his 2023 starts. Now they try the big boys' circuit with Castellano taking over. He's worth the 8:1 ML offering.
$ 7.00 WPS 5 Cost $ 21.00
$ 3.00 Ex Box 5, 6, 7 Cost $ 18.00
Race 8:
(2) BOURBONCENTRIC has highest speed figures of this bunch and picks up Johnny V for the finale. The Tapeta shouldn't matter but the rail draw does. They will likely try to wire this group. Cox is always dangerous but Mcl runners are not his thing. (11) EMOTIONLYAVAILBLE still looks better than most in here and is a must use. Zayas has gotten the best out of (3) CLASSIC COMMANDER in the four races that they teamed up. He was used early in his match against Bourbon last time but the post affected that. Now they draw inside and they can save ground aroundthe two turns.
