Keith Gisser offers his picks for the $10,000 Pick-4 at Northfield Park on August 10, part of the USTA Strategic Wagering program. Northfield Park Pick-4, Races 8-11, Wednesday, August 10, 2011 Wednesday features a $10K guaranteed Pick-4 on races 8-11, with a low 14 percent takeout. Monday result: Knocked out in the first leg. But how can three faves (4-5, 8-5 and 2-5) and a 3-1 second choice pay $249.40. Value galore. Start crushing these pools, boys and girls. Payoffs are ridiculously good right now.
Analysis:
Race 8: (6) Vince The Man gets class relief and Dan Noble, but the (1) Samovar Hanover just worries me; can’t put my finger on it.
Race 9: (5) SJ’s Manawa Sam is super sharp, but was a beaten fave moving up to this level last time. (7) Ilooklikerudy is not that effective from outside posts and (2) One Day Wonder could get a similar trip to last week’s winning one.
Race 10: (2) Drop Of Numteg is my best bet of the night and I am still not comfortable singling her. (6) Date Night K finally got some last week and may be much braver here.
Race 11: Wide open, but I can only go three deep. (1) Moon River Dell always contends when inside; (7) Native Fate gets a significant barn change; and (9) Snooz Attack shows nothing but good lines with Dan Noble driving.
