Whale Ticket: none
Analysis:
Race 7: This is a wide open trot. I’m going to use six horses here, 1, 3, 4, 5, 8, 10.
Race 8: This is a wide open race but I think I can get through with three, (8) The Summer Wind, who is second off a layoff, (9) Abbijade Hanover, who is in good form for top connections, and (7) UF Dragon’s Queen, holding good form.
Race 9: I’m going to use all four of my listed contenders here, 3, 6, 8, 9.
Race 10: (4) David’s Dream drops off a game try and tough trip and gets top driver. I’ll single him here.
