Analysis:
Race 8: This is a good card tonight and the Pick-4 is competitive. The favorite could be much the best here, but he broke two back, so I’m using all four of my listed contenders, 1, 2, 5, 7.
Race 9: (7) Lawrencetown Beach may be tough to beat but I’m throwing in longshot (9) Daiymir, who came up good on my Diamond System (computer handicapping system).
Race 10: (6) Billy Button will be a single on a lot of tickets but he’s more of a small track horse so he may be vulnerable. I’ll try (3) Daylyn Horizon as my back up in this race.
Race 11: This is another tough race. I’ll use (5) Big Stretch Mark off the key drop, (6) Jojo Jove, also dropping, and (3) Rockin The House, another one getting class relief.
