Big Pete's "Play of the Day":
Race 3:
(6) KARSTEN moves back to turf and is Prat's choice. He's been going long on the turf but has sprinted on the dirt & slop. Grass is greener for this Cairo Prince.
I’ll use (5) Lolimo and (7) Sultan Hassan underneath for the exacta.
$ 7.00 WPS 6 Cost $ 21.00
$ 3.00 Ex Box 5, 6, 7 Cost $ 18.00
We’ll also use (6) Karsten in R3 and try to cash in on a Daily Double.
(5) Counterspy and (7) Treaty Obligation in the 4th.
$ 7.00 Daily Double 6 w/ 5, 7 Cost $ 14.00
Big Pete's Late Pick 3:
Race 6:
(2) THAT'STHEFACTJACK has been consist all year in NW2L company winning three times but DQ'd twice. Now moves up a level but his speed figures match up well against this group. (5) DIA POR DIA has a nice blowout win against maidens and Rice now puts her up for sale. I'll use defensively but try to beat her. I want to try (4) VINO FRIZZANTE in this spot. She was claimed two back and ran a decent 3rd first time out for her new barn. Now they switch to Franco. All systems go today.
$ 7.00 WPS 4 Cost $ 21.00
$ 5.00 Ex 2, 4 w/ 2, 4, 5 Cost $ 20.00
Race 7:
(1) HILL ROAD is stakes placed on the turf so this class relief should work out well. Manny stays up on the switch back to grass. Figures to save ground. (7) ARKHIPOV is the Brown runner I prefer. He'll get help from his stablemate up front to set up his late kick. I want to try a price in here. (3) IL SICILIANO was up against much better last time and now cuts back against a realistic group. Castellano has a couple of tries on him and posted high speed figures that match up well with this bunch. He cuts back to his best distance.
$ 7.00 WPS 3 Cost $ 21.00
$ 3.00 Ex Box 1, 3, 7 Cost $ 18.00
Race 8:
(1) AMIRA'S STAR drops, cuts back and moves to the turf. All positive signs to get her picture taken, I must use for me. (3) COPPER CADUCEUS showed speed and has the highest speed figures in here. They will need to reel this War dancer in. (10) MIDNIGHT BLUE was closing well last time and ran out of stretch. She gets another furlong today. (12) RAISED is the sleeper. She followed Blue last time but was carried too wide to make a difference late. The switch to Carmouche could make all the difference today.
