1 – J WASS – better ATB in his last with TLRSP#

Suggested Wagers: $0.50 Pick 5: 1,2/3,5,7/1/2,4,5,6/3
Race 2: 7 Furlongs – Bias: Tactical Speed – 31% w2w – PP: Strong Inside 3 Bonus, Inside Out from There
5 – CRYPT – we’ll take the flyer with the strong overlay because upped pace# ATB and won last time he cut from a route to a sprint
7 – HURRICANE HIGHWAY – Ness – going to lose money on this horse if it’s claimed – why?
3 – JW’S THIRD MISCHIE – could be the pacesetter – not the biggest fan of claim and rise here
6 – JUMP SHOT – drops to lowest level in last 10 – tough call over the 4, but the 4 regressed badly the last time he ran a peak number like he did in his last

Suggested Wagers: $0.50 Pick 4: 2,4,5,6/3,8/7/1,3,4,5
Race 5: 6 Furlongs – Bias: Tactical Speed, 37% w2w – PP: 1-7 Fair, 8+ Bonus

2 – CAUSALISTIC – lowest level in last 10 – been performing at a level that should be really competitive for the win here – 15-1 odds seem off.

5 – SAVAGE DRAGON – major improvement from debut to second start, same improvement gets it done
1 – MYHEARTWILLGOON – MSW dropper too, 1st gelded, but what catches my eye is a pair of 1 mile works since his last race – should be fit enough to run 5 1/2f all out
3 – NUEDORF – first time with a workout pattern that’s been paying off, a bullet works three back followed by 3 maintenance works
Suggested Wagers: $0.50 Pick 4: 1,3,4,5/4/1,3,6/1,2,5,8

Race 10: 6 Furlongs – Bias: Tactical Speed, 37% w2w – PP: 1-7 Fair, 8+ Bonus
1 – BRONX TALE – +14 total pace says this one should be the easy winner, but…
5 – TATUM – Pure MSW to MCL dropper, fast track 7/0-3-2
8 – MOB JUSTICE – the only other pure MSW dropper, showed a lot of EP in debut, backed up, first Lasix could be the difference maker
