Analysis:
Race 6: I’m trying two tickets tonight. On one I singled (5) Girllookatthatbody, who should be tough off the drop here. On the other ticket I also used (7) Candy Styx N, who may be the main rival.
Race 7: This is the toughest race of the sequence so I went five deep, 1, 3, 5, 6, 7.
Race 8: I think you can single (5) O U Sexy Guy here, but on the Whale Ticket I included (4) Kolbee’s Star, who has a shot if the favorite falters.
Race 9: (2) Sportsmuffler and (7) Elizabeth Bluechip are both solid contenders.
