Keith Gisser offers his picks for the $10,000 Pick-4 at Northfield Park on April 2, part of the USTA Strategic Wagering program.

The Play:
123468/12/13/16= $48

Analysis:

Race 8: Would really like to hit the all button here, too many “what-ifs,” but have to keep the play below $50, so we will eliminate a couple for publication purposes. I WILL hit the all when I wager it.

Race 9: They opened up the class for 2) Next Idol ($305 per start) and he is sharp enough to handle the move up. 1) Doctor Gates will be forward early and must be considered.

Race 10: One eligible at time of entry, five class droppers and five who get in under the secondary condition (a huge advantage). 3)Rapid Pursuit was winning races last year and 1)Capricious Art just looks good on paper.

Race 11: 1) Red White And Crue is super sharp, draws well and is in a hot barn. have to use him based on his Knipper-form, but he was a $5 claimer at Buffalo. The competitive $10-12 claimer, Brandon’s Art, is a solid value play here. He’s won one of every seven races in his career.
