Jeremey’s $1 Pick Four Play:
3 with 2,7,8 with 1,3,4 with 1,4,6 = $27
Race 1
(3) SOUTHWIND TOSCANO has a nice pedigree and lots of room to improve. (4) IN CHARGE is also well bred but has made breaks in two of three starts. (2) ACCOUNT EXECUTIVE owns a win at this level and looks to be in line for a ground-saving trip.
Race 2
In a weak and inconsistent field, (6) MYSTICAL HEART will offer a big price and has been competitive against tougher on the year. (5) WHO’S YOUR MADDY probably needed the effort last week off the scratch. The pacer has yet to win in 19 starts on the year but should find this spot much easier. (4) HIGH FLYIN SARA shows a decent burst of speed when timed right.
Race 3
(1) BANKER TWENTYFIVE is a lightly raced 2-year-old that faces older, but gets the best post and shows a win over the track. (4) JESSIE STAR picks up a positive driver change off two good efforts. (7) TOPVILLE EXPLOSIVE can hit the ticket at a price with a good setup.
Race 4
(1) ANOCHE looks to be tough to beat; short price. (2) EWALD HANOVER should get a crack at the top choice late. (3) VERBALIZE takes a big bump up in class off two easy victories.
Race 5
(2) DEW IN THE DESERT picks up a huge driver change. (5) COMMAND THE FIRE has good early gate speed and should fire early. (3) LITTLE BIG RIGS owns ability and can threaten with a good effort.
Race 6
(1) SINK THE MCBISMARK picks up a top driver with the best starting post. The pacer makes his second start down at the bottom level. (5) ASTOUNDING HANOVER has yet to win in 30 starts on the year; command a price. (4) BLUE’S ROCKET MAN might be able to get a piece with some racing luck.
Race 7
(2) BARRYSCOURT has room to improve in third start out for new connections. (1) RALPH R picks up a huge driver change. The well bred 5-year-old should be closer turning for home. (4) NOAH COUNT has been competitive against similar but has yet to win on the year.
Race 8
(3) DALLAS SEELSTER will look to drop and pop down in class. (5) VILLAGE BEAT went a good effort last week against softer. (1) MAGIC MANNY has just been racing evenly but is also dropping in class.
Race 9
(7) ASTA LA PASTA owns multiple wins at this level but needs to find a way into the race. (8) SBD INDIE ROCK is fast enough to beat this group should the trotting mare get towed into it. (2) SNEAKY SAM beat a softer bunch last week and benefits from a good starting post.
Race 10
(4) WIT AND WISDOM is very inconsistent from week to week but a good effort puts him in the mix at a price. (1) ONEFINEJIMMERJOHN has made the most money of the field on the year; short price. (3) VERBAL ASSAULT had no chance last week getting parked most of the mile; threat.
Race 11
(1) HARD TO ROCK THIS should be sharper second start back off a layoff. (4) FLAMING YANKEE has been much improved for new connections. (6) AIRZOOMS IMAGE might be the fastest trotter in the race but has issues breaking.
Race 12
(7) BIG PACKAGE takes a significant drop in class for a top barn. (1) DON SWAN has just been racing evenly but picks up a huge driver change with the best post. (6) HEEZATRAIN is best used underneath on your tickets.
Race 13
(1) DUKES CRUISER shows some good efforts against much better. (5) FINAL CHAMPION will give the top choice all he can handle with an easy early lead. (7) CATERA GUN has lots of upside but gets a tough starting post.
Race 14
(9) TEEN CRUISER will be driven very aggressively against much softer. (6) TEST OF WILL looks terrible on paper but could hit the ticket with a good setup. (4) FIRST FROST is one of few in the race that has shown a decent burst of speed in recent efforts.
Race 15
(2) PINE ROCK has hit the board in five of eight at this level on the year. (4) MOVE OVER SIS gets sent out second start for new connections; threat. (1) IRISH BEACH KIDD is a lightly raced 3-year-old that has room to improve with the best post.
