Matt Sparacino offers his picks for the $5,000 Pick-4 at Harrington Raceway on June 28, part of the USTA Strategic Wagering program.

Analysis:

We hit last week’s Pick-4, though it came up chalky. There appears to be opportunity for value here.

In the first leg, (5) Kellytuck Sophie and (6) Bling look like the class of the field and should be the major players.

In the second leg, race four, (1) Full Circle Patty loves to stalk and (2) Shardons Debutante is getting a class drop and figures prominently.

The third leg should be interesting with potential favorite (8) Eastwood Aurora on the outside, while (1) Alexachase and (2) Carole’s Bullville are likely choices from inside posts.

In the final leg, (2) Bluffs Real Deal has been racing huge from bad posts and I was tempted to single her. I did use (1) Pacific Philly and (7) Red High Heels as insurance as these two mares are very consistent.
