Jeremey’s $1 Pick Four Play:
2,7 with 1,2 with 2,4,5 with 1,2,7 = $36
Race 1
(5) WHAT DA MATTER U well bred mare was an easy winner at this level two back and looks to offer value. (7) PREDATOR IN PINK was impressive last week circling the field from dead last. (4) ANASTASIA GEM held on for the win last week racing gamely.
Race 2
(2) PICK UP THE TAB drops to the bottom level and just needs to stay trotting for a big piece. (1) SWEET BEN should be in line for a nice trip up close. (7) LION IMAGE finished a solid second last week.
Race 3
(6) CASH TOO FAST was an easy winner two back before the miscue last start. (5) RJ GIGOLO raced much better from off a helmet last race; threat. (3) I SCOOT QUICK hit the board against similar last out.
Race 4
(6) EVERCLEAR HANOVER just missed last week racing gamely. The 4-year-old picks up the top driver in field full of question marks. (8) HOMEMADE is just now back in racing shape and has flashed a decent burst of speed. (3) WILD WHISKEY has taken heavy action in seven straight starts with no luck; command a price.
Race 5
In a very tough race to handicap, (3) TALBOTCREEK ARMANI has been facing slightly tougher and owns a win at this level on the year. (2) STRANGE HANOVER well bred gelding has just been racing evenly but should be in line for a decent trip up close. (1) REPEAT PERFORMANCE picks up the top driver with the best starting post.
Race 6
(4) HERBIE L has been competitive against better on the year. (5) WIMBORNE HANOVER drops downs in class against weaker. (6) ZOLENA trotting mare is inconsistent from week to week but a good effort puts her in the mix at a price.
Race 7
(7) GOLD COAST MUSCLE picks up a significant driver change down in class. (6) ODIN BLUE CHIP doesn't win often but is capable with a good setup. (4) READYSETLETSROLL has lacked late punch after putting himself in good positions; command a price.
Race 8
(2) GALLANT SEELSTER looks primed for a big effort third start back down in class. (7) MR DE LUCA made an untimely miscue last week when on the move. (5) KWIK MAC raced well last week after a lackluster performance the start prior.
Race 9
(2) GUISEPPE MOLLUSCA just needs a smooth trip for a chance to upset the favorite. (1) SHANGHAI KANG bumps up in class off an easy win against weaker. (4) GREATHART HANOVER ten-year-old raced gamely against a slightly better field last out.
Race 10
(5) TIMELESS UTAH five-year-old gelding is starting to put it all together. (2) CLASSIC JESSE lightly raced trotting mare is still racing greenly but has lots of talent. (4) BUZZEN GARLAND made the most money in the field last year; threat.
Race 11
(7) PACE SEELSTER has room to improve first start down in class for a new barn. (1) BEAR KING threatened against better two back. (2) NOAH'S SHARK keeps the top driver and should be in line for a ground-saving trip up close.
Race 12
(4) SONG IN MY HEART always seems to be in the mix at this level. (1) CERVEZA DINERO came up empty bet under the board last week and needs a bounce-back effort to score. (5) EXPRESS JUSTICE morning line favorite takes a big drop in class but has not been racing well; use caution.
Race 13
(3) TYE SEELSTER can make it two straight with any kind of effort like last week. (1) REJOICEANDBEGLAD doesn't win often but can hit the ticket against this bunch. (5) SUSPINDER has been competitive against much better on the year.
Race 14
(1) APLIN HANOVER raced super last week used multiple times; driver's choice. (2) REBEL ROCK RUSTY scored an easy win off a perfect trip against similar last time out. (4) FULL CODE has been much improved in two straight.
Race 15
(7) JJ'S DOUGHNUT takes a significant drop in class against much weaker. The 11-year-old had some sneaky late pace last out against better. (6) RING LEDA looked to be home free last week before slowing up late. (8) SHOWDOWN AT SUN UP was bet the favorite against better last start but is probably best used underneath.
