I will be condensing my plays to only include the number, and look to take down the early double (Races 1 & 2) and a spot pick 3 (Races 5-7). Big Pete will be locked in to taking down a couple of his "Plays of the Day" and the late pick 3 (Races 8-10). We appreciate you taking a look at this write-up and GOOD LUCK.

Big Pete's "Play of the Day":
Race 3:
(4) ROYAL SPIRIT drops in for a tag for the first time. He’s been keeping good company and his speed figures match up well against this level. Irad teams up with Pletcher so f we can get close to the 4:1ML with these connections, it’s a no brainer to me.
(6) St. Joe Louis has burnt a lot of money and prefers 2nd and (7) Merci goes out for a new barn and attracts Saez.
$ 7.00 WPS 4 Cost $ 21.00
$ 7.00 Exacta 4 w/ 6, 7 Cost $ 14.00
We’ll also use (4) Royal Spirit in R3 and try to cash a DAILY DOUBLE play.
We’ll use (5) Secret Thunder and (8) Star Attitude in the 4th.
$ 7.00 Double 4 w/ 5, 8 Cost $ 14.00
Big Pete's Late Pick 3:
Race 8:
Maiden fillies on display and the two logic runners look solid (5) TIZZY IN THE SKY has speed and experience on her side and Rosario is back racing. She’ll need to get a breather somewhere as they all stretch out to the demanding 7F. (7) LIQUIDITY PROVIDER was bet in her debut and just missed graduating. She likes it up front as well so the break for both these fillies could be the difference. If they both go at it early, (3) MS. SOLVEIG will be breathing down their necks late. This Bernardini won’t mind the extra furlong and will likely save some ground. Brown’s other filly, (4) LUTE PLAYER will stay under the radar as Prat moves from Solveig to this gal and she’s bred to be a good one. She ships in from Jersey, a nice work over the track and gets L1 for her debut. There’s a lot to like at this 6:1 ML.
$ 7.00 WPS 4 Cost $ 21.00
$ 3.00 Ex 4, 7 w/ 3, 4, 5, 7 Cost $ 18.00
Race 9:
(5) CANISY continues to improve and with a lack of speed entered, she may work out a similar trip that she had earlier in the meet. The first few jumps are key as she’ll need to clear the rail runner before the first turn. I can’t get past (6) CUSTOMER LIST in this one. She hasn’t produced just yet but she appears to be slowly getting the hang of this game. She’s bred to excel on this surface and was getting to Canisy late. The pace was way against her that day and the slight cut back is best for her. (3) SKIMS has been tested already against graded company and done ok. This Frankel can improve off those efforts.
$ 7.00 WPS 6 Cost $ 21.00
$ 3.00 Ex 5, 6 w/ 3, 4, 5, 6 Cost $ 18.00
Race 10:
(6) DIGITAL FUTURE has been away for some time now so the 5:2 ML is difficult to take. We’ll include but look for others to beat him. One may be (7) UNCLE GEORGE. Yes, he has burnt a lot of money but that has come against slightly better foes. He takes the necessary drop and will offer better odds than normal. It’s now or never for George. The outside runner (12) NAPA SPIRIT, has also been away for sometime but ships here and has held a steady work tab for this. L1 is added and has proven he can run off workouts with an impressive debut last spring at KEE. He’s worth a shot at 12:1 ML.
(4) MILANO has been going long and now tries sprinting. He’s been at Belmont training and ship him up for this. Jose takes the mount.
