Whale Ticket: 50-cent play: none

Analysis:

Race 7: (5) Venus Delight is a classy mare and she raced sharp off a layoff last out.

Race 8: I’m going to single (5) Muscle High in this trot, but you could make a case that this is a spread race.

Race 9: (9) Myammie Drama gets a tough post but also drops sharply. (4) Wutan makes his 3-year-old return for a very good layoff barn.

Race 10: This race isn’t easy, I’m going to use all four of my listed contenders, 1, 4, 7, 8.
