RACE 5

Must Use # 7, 9, 10
Contenders # 2, 6

Keep an eye on the longshot # 7 Perfectly Majestic, it should make the trifecta at the very least.

$1.00 EX on 7/2,6,9-12

#7 to SHOW

RACE 6

$1.00 DBL on 6-8/1,5,6

RACE 7
Using # 1, 5, 6

RACE 8

Contenders # 3

$0.50 PK4 on 1,3,4/3-5,7,8,10/1,2,5,6/2,6,9,10

$0.50 TRI on 1,4/1,3,4/1-5

$0.50 TRI on 1,4/2,5/1,3,4

RACE 9

Must Use #8, 10

Contenders #3, 11

Stretch #4, 5, 7

For multi race wagers , again it would not hurt to go wide in this race

#10 Out of Sorts will go overlooked by most bettors, but it comes from the better races, purses and class. It also has the strongest late pace which should aid it.

This exacta is a bit high risk as it goes against the chalk. It favors horses with jockeys that have stronger 2yr win%

$1.00 EX on 3,5,10,11/7,8,10

$0.50 PK3 on 3,5,8,10,11/1,2,5,7/2,6,9,10

RACE 10

Must Use #2, 5

Contender #1, 7

The #2 and #5 have the better speed and earnings on turf

The #1, 2, 5 have better E1 pace than the chalk #7, which appears to be vulnerable

RACE 11
Must Use # 2, 9, 10

Contender # 6

This race has been won by horses in the top rank for pedigree and lifetime speed
