Jeremey’s $1 Pick Four Play:
1,2,3,4 with 2,3,4,5 with 2,3 with 1 = $32
Race 1
(2) PEMBROKE SNAPSHOT should be in line for a nice trip at a price. (3) SAKE has good gate speed but will need much more late. (5) WENDY'S GIRL is one of few in the race that's been competitive at this level.
Race 2
(1) PAUL'S JUST PLAYIN has made breaks in two of three. If the 4-year-old minds his manners he has a good chance. (4) CASH TOO FAST has room to improve second start out for new connections. (3) RJ GIGOLO picks up a significant driver change but has lacked late stamina.
Race 3
(4) DANISH DESIGN has been on fire and will look to make it four straight; short price. (3) WIMBORNE HANOVER has been off over a month and could need a start. (2) PARNELL takes a slight drop back down.
Race 4
(9) HOMEMADE needed the start last week and had been sharp prior to the scratch. (4) WHAT DA MATTER well bred mare looks to have some ability and should be tighter second start back. (2) SHEZA LITTLE SPICY has just been racing evenly; command a price.
Race 5
(1) LIBERTY FLYER just missed at this level two back. (7) THRU N THRU just needs to find a way into the race for a chance to sweep past late. (4) CJ'S REAL DEAL doesn't win often but fits in with this group.
Race 6
(1) BALANCED GAME raced well last week against similar. (2) VEGAS SECRET should be in line for a ground saving trip. (3) MISTER OLIVER nine-year-old stallion has flashed a decent burst of speed in his last few.
Race 7
(6) MR THREE QUARTERS was tremendous last week drawing off against weaker. (1) GRANTLAND has room to improve third start out for a new barn. (2) BOLD DECISION keeps the top driver dropping in class.
Race 8
(3) T RED owns some back class on the field when right; versatile. (2) MOMMA'S JOLT couldn't seal the deal last week down in class; command a price. (1) MODERN WARFARE has been off a month but will look to make it three straight wins.
Race 9
(2) JOJO'S JOURNEY raced well against much tougher last out. (3) AT MY REQUEST has found this level much tougher but does own a good closing kick. (4) WINBAK CHARLES M has been bet down as the favorite in nine of ten starts without a victory; command a price.
Race 10
(2) IN RUNAWAY BAY N takes a huge drop down against weaker. (3) Y S JOE also faces easier and looks to offer a big price. (5) SASSY OSBORNE jumped up with a huge effort last start just fading late.
Race 11
(1) ROLL'EM UP gets the best post facing a weak and inconsistent field. (3) CRONOS might be one of few threats in the race but probably needs a start. (2) TINY JIM raced well at this level last week from a very tough spot.
Race 12
(4) SOUTHWIND SCORPION couldn't get around the turns very well last week. If the pacer makes his way to the front he will be tough to beat. (1) ABERARDER MAX looks terrible on paper but will offer a nice price; use underneath. (3) SCOOTIN MAJESTY picks up a top driver and should be in line for a ground-saving trip up close.
Race 13
(4) KEYSTONE MEMPHIS picks back up the top driver in a field full of question marks. (7) DOUBLE DRIBBLE veteran pacer needs a fast pace to close into for a chance late. (2) GLENEAGLES has not raced in six weeks and might need a start; use caution.
Race 14
(1) CLASSIC JESSE lightly raced 4-year-old is one of few in the race with upside. (3) WILD WHISKEY well bred trotter gets sent out for capable connections. (5) ANASTASIA GEM has hit the board in five of six on the year but is best used underneath.
Race 15
(1) KWIC MAC will look to drop and pop down in class against a weak bunch. (5) CAMART HANOVER raced well against similar two back. (4) GUNNIN' FORAFIGHT has been competitive at this level.
