Dave Litfin (DRF)
Best Bet – Race 4: Early Argument (PP: 3 ML 2-1)
Dave’s Comments:
“EARLY ARGUMENT’s two best races – with the field’s best figures – have come on or near the early lead, so the switch to C.C. Lopez is a pretty good indication he’s to be sent for the lead from post 3; tough situation last out from post 8 when favored vs. special-weight rivals.”

Golden Gate Fields
Chuck Dybdal (DRF)
Best Bet – Race 1: Blame the Jockey (PP: 4 ML 2-1)
Chuck’s Comments:
“has hit the board in all four lifetime starts here. He’s willing to sit early and fire late, which is an effective running style at this distance where horses often go too fast early. Just beat several of these when dropped to this level last time. Not much speed here so he’ll likely be sitting in perfect stalking position and not have to make up too much ground late.”
House Handicapper
Best Bet – Race 4: Heart’s Ablazin (PP: 5 ML 9/5)
Comments:
“Due for first win.”

Laurel Park
Frank Carulli (house handicapper)

“re-taken to rate early, gained late on drop to this level.”
Long Shot – Race 9: Big Boper (PP: 4 ML 8-1)

Oaklawn Park
Terry’s Picks (house handicapper)
Best Bet – Race 2: Watch Pat (PP: 8 ML 9/5)
Long Shot – Race 9: Dance Caller (PP: 5 ML 5-1)

Santa Anita Race Track
Brad Free (house handicapper)
Best Bet – Race 7: Domonation (PP: 5 ML 7/2)
Brad’s Comments:
“If they all start, the pace of this sprint will be excruciating. It plays to the strength of route-to-sprint DOMONATION. The deep closer drops from G3 route races into a N1X sprint, and his late-running style suits the likely fast pace. He can sit, wait, and explode late.”
Woodbine Racetrack (standardbred)

Long Shot – Race 5: Mvs Grand Ball (PP: 2 ML 5-1)
