Yesterday’s Recap – We went two-for-four yesterday in a sequence that didn’t look all that chalky, but had a good amount of favorites score. The right second or third choices hit the ticket to make the Pick 5 pay a very healthy $3,390.40. The official Pick 5 was 1/2/4/7/1,4
Breakdown:
Race 10: #5 CORAL BELLA gets a good draw this week once again. She looked really well last week, but was just too far behind, driver change could make the difference here.
#2 KAK’S ROCKIN closed gamely from off the pace two starts back just getting up by a neck. Last week she got the perfect trip and got locked in behind a wall of horses. Look for her to get a better trip this week.
#3 IMONLYTELLINYAONCE has been drawing very tough as of late for trainer Verlin Yoder. She gets a good draw towards the inside this week and if James Yoder can get her into a good striking spot, she could be tough.
#9 HELEN’S GIRL didn’t get the best trip last week, but she still managed to finish a game and fighting fourth. She is a deep closer and she likes to hit the board, look for her to be on the scene late.
We will go with the ALL in the last part as the field is wide open underneath and anyone can hit the board.
