Tonight’s tickets:
50-cent play: 12/246/346/46 = $18

Analysis:

Race 8: (2) Bettim Jackie ships in off a win at Mohawk and moves into the Burke barn. My top pick, (1) Lynbar Rose N, adds Lasix after being used hard leaving at Yonkers Raceway. These two look good enough to get through the first leg.

Race 9: This is a competitive race. (4) Can Do gets a driver change to Gingras. (6) Eyore Hanover looked good on the lead in last last but then he broke on the lead. (2) Stitch In Time drops.

Race 10: (4) Abbeylara is my top pick off the driver change to Gingras. (3) Spanish Art was beaten favorite in four of last five but is a threat. (6) Ideal Candidate gets a key trainer change.

Race 11: (6) Cant U Spell is my Best Bet off a key driver change and he didn’t have a good trip in last. I’m including (4) P L Layla because she could be dangerous here shipping in off a private purchase.
