Gisser’s Picks: June 22 Nfld
June 22, 2011,by Keith Gisser
Keith Gisser offers his picks for the $10,000 Pick-4 at Northfield Park on June 22, part of the USTA Strategic Wagering program. Northfield Park Pick-4, Races 8-11, Wednesday, June 22, 2011 A great night on Monday’s card with seven or eight winners and a positive ROI, but did not pick a single winner in the Pick-4, with my single finishing second. Had several two of four tickets and that pays the same as my son pays rent. Nada. Here is Wednesday’s play. It looks to be a pretty tough one.
$1 play: 125/2348/24/12 = $48
Analysis:
Race 8: (1) DD Cam Ram has drawn poorly of late and now gets the rail and Noble, who chose over numbers 2, 3 and 6. (2) Delaware Fortune doesn’t win much, but contends often. (5) Slade Gram is just a professional racehorse who must be considered from any decent draw.
Race 9: (4) Bella Bionda is relatively green and we have used her at a good number the past two weeks. Won’t be 10-1 here. (3) Zhihong Pang is one of those frustrating animals who is either very good or very poor and gives no advance indication. (8) Firm Jet is the best in this race but seems to need the front. Can he get it from out here? And (2) Suited N Booted must be considered with Noble.
Race 10: (4) Lee A Bryant is a solid animal who always does work. (2) Lucifer Bluegrass drops waaaaaayyyy down in awful form. Can’t take the chance on him waking up by leaving him out.
Race 11: Noble and Stahl chose their drives here and both are serious improvements over the trainers, who normally drive. Slight call to (2) Liftoff Bayama over (1) Big Valley, but both need to be on the ticket.
