Balmoral Park Pick-4, Sunday, April 10, 2011

Races 7-10

The Play: 126/24 10/47/4 = $18

Analysis:

Race 7: A short, yet competitive field of six. I like (2) Mr Dock Johnson racing on Lasix for the third time. Had some trip trouble on Apr. 2, or probably would have won. (1) Somuchcooleronline will benefit from the class drop. (6) Sporty John made a valiant effort last start, spotting the field 20 lengths before finishing 2-3/4 lengths back at the finish.

Race 8: A great race for value. Would love to go deeper but I’m on a budget. I like (10) Ellamakailey, who gets in thanks to some condition sheet help. (2) Trisa was classy last year, and is making her second 2011 start. (4) JD’s Lady Lynn impressed me with her 1:53.3 win here on March 19.

Race 9: (4) My Kind Of Towne could have been my single, but I’m going to toss in (7) Realgoodkisser, who has been strong her last two starts, coming home in 26.4 on March 30.

Race 10: Great race to single (4) Paloma Belleza, who set and tied her lifetime mark in her last two starts.

Good luck!

Result: 3/4/478/1 = $534.40
