Analysis:
Race 7: Even though there are only seven in here, it is a good race. I’m using all four of my listed contenders, 1, 4, 5, 7.
Race 8: (3) Life Happened was game beating similar in last. (7) Thinkbig Dreambig is a first time starter for Takter and this one qualified well.
Race 9: (1) Iwillmakeyousaywow is still holding form. (3) Avatarist raced deceptively well in last and is my top pick here.
Race 10: (2) Sams Triple Crown and (5) Griffon Hanover both take key drops, but I’m also using (7) Canbec Kingkazimir, another one dropping as this one returns from Yonkers and is my top pick. Canbec Kingkazimir is also my Best Bet tonight.
