SPOT PLAYS
Race 2
#6 Regal Quality
plus exacta box with #1a
Manifest Destiny
#6 Regal Quality looks good
based on the better recent races when you stack them up against today’s
competition. Has been losing, but there is ready for optimism about a positive
turnaround here off the claim by Atras, who wins 32% off the claim. Gets a jockey upgrade too with
Irad Ortiz picking up the mount.
Play in exacta box with #1a Manifest Destiny, who when
last seen at Belmont rattled off two straight show finishes, including the last
one when he finished full of run, cramming through a tight hole on the rail to
rally into the stretch, only to get the rail shut-off in the lane and have to
settle for third. Nobody bets his low-profile connections, so the price will be
nice.
Race 5
#2 My Cara Mia Mine
Unfortunate to
settle for third in career debut after lacking racing room and needing to
squeeze through in a tough trip to lose by just a neck when probably best that
day. Gets another chance, and gets another half-furlong of distance to work
with.
