Keith Gisser offers his picks for the $10,000 Pick-4 at Northfield Park on April 27, part of the USTA Strategic Wagering program.

Northfield Park Pick 4, Races 8-11, Wednesday, April 27, 2011

The play: 46/13467/139/9 = $30 and a 46/36/139/4 = $12 (saver ticket)

Analysis:

Race 8: (6) Ideal Ticket was very good against lesser with Noble three back and (4) Ge’s Antonio is one of those teasers you just have to use.

Race 9: Wide open group of nice young trotters. (3) Anastasia Wildfire can be her own worst enemy at times, (6) Brewing Master may need a start and I don’t know what his stakes calendar looks like. These are young ‘uns that can step up at any time, so I have to add a few more.

Race 10: The $2,500 claimers, (1) Phagus Hall and (9) Toronado Mindale, are only moving up in class nominally. The claimers are tougher than this group. (3) Fancy Schmansy is another Millner/Kash horse that will bite you if you ignore him.

Race 11: (9) Lookslikefire. Playing Kurt Sugg’s choice over #1 and #8, who both figure, but since I have budget left, let’s play a saver with Legacy Chip (4), a solid claimer who is a threat every out.

Good luck.
