Ticket: 4,8/1,2,4,8/1,2,4,8 – Cost: $6.00 ($.50 base)

Yesterday’s Recap – We went four-for-five yesterday and got hit in the last leg by Dave Palone on a pretty big long shot.  The longest price we had was in the fourth leg where Make Mine Ideal ($17.40) sat off the pace and drew off to win easily.  The Pick 5 of 2,7/8/5/8/7 returned $1,333.20

Breakdown:

Race 10: #4 LITTLEMISDANGEROUS gets a good draw this week and is coming off a rough performance where she got into a good early spot but tired late from an outside post.  The other thing going against her that night was the sloppy track.  Post improvement should make a difference tonight.

#8 BEACH REPORT has won two straight races and now gets Trace Tetrick in the sulky.  The only thing I worry about with this filly is how she will handle the pari-mutuel track for the first time.  She has a good amount of speed and could provide the value here.

#1 GW’S GOLDEN DANCER draws the rail this week once against after a tough effort on a sloppy track last out.  If the track plays back to her favor here, I could see her rebounding back into form.

#2 INDY ROSE has been a pretty consistent filly as of late hitting the board in her last three starts.  She is starting to come into form and could provide more value from the inside.
