Standard Ticket: $0.50 cent play: 569/1248/7/37 = $12.00
Whale Ticket: $0.50 cent play: none

Analysis:

Race 9: Good race to kick off the late Pick-4. I’m going to use the three that are dropping out of the Open, 5, 6, 9.

Race 10: Pretty tough pace here. Gold Rocks (8) takes a key drop for a sharp barn and is my top pick but I’m using all four of my contenders, 1, 2, 4 and 8.

Race 11: I have three Best Bets tonight and Cobalt Man (7) is one of them as he drops and gets Tetrick. Single.

Race 12: Benjaminbanneker N (3) drops to the bottom condition and should improve. My top pick is classy Intheblinkofaneye (7).
