Race 6
#3 Mental Model
The day’s best bet goes out for trainer Chad Brown after
running a solid second last time out with blinkers on and a class drop in
against maiden claimers. This horse stays in against maiden claimers today and
should be too good for these based on the speed figure if able to repeat that
last race.
Race 8
#4 Bingwa
Plus
play exacta box w/#5 No Deal
#4 Bingwa finished
second last time at Keeneland in return race off a six-month layoff, but ran a
big effort with a fast speed figure that would stack up very tough against this
field. Now goes second time off the layoff, handles either dry or wet tracks,
and has the speed to lead and not look back.
Play in
exacta box with #5 No Deal, who could add some value in the exacta boxes in
this field as a multiple winner going up against several non-winners of 2
lifetime horses. In the exacta in 9 of 18 career races, and exits a giant
effort victory last time out in the Xtra Heat stakes where he got shuffled back
in a tough trip but overcame that trouble to win anyway. Don’t overlook, at
least in the exactas.
