In races with 3 selections the total cost will be $6 for a $1 bet In races with 4 selections the total cost will be $12 for a $1 bet
The Win Candidates are in order from our top pick to our fourth (or third).
However, we root for the two biggest prices to run 1st and 2nd as it helps our payoffs in our exacta boxes. It does not matter to me if it is our top pick or our fourth- I am trying to make money!
If you have any questions just let me know,

Selections 10-5-9-3 Rating
#10 Birdman Richie-was claimed for 20k last out while missing by 5 lengths. New trainer Joseph is hitting at 24% with his claims in their first start and he drops this gelding down to 8k.
#5 Perfect Picture-has a win and a second from his four starts over this surface. He drops from 20k to 8k and that will help his chances.
#9 Birdnote-drew off to break his maiden by 4 last out. He runs for 23% winning trainer and should run into the payoffs.
#3 Tapaterm-ran his career best last out to miss by just a neck and could run into the payoff again today at a good price.

#3 Laveau-our three picks all exit the same race with just a length between all three. Our top pick missed by just a neck while beating our second and third picks and 9-2 seems like a good price.
#2 Feline-missed by a length last out while running on the wrong lead in the stretch. She needed that one and is the one to beat.
#7 Claudette Heir-missed by just half a length last out and should be right there again today.

Selections 4-2-3-8 Rating
#4 Let’s Be Honest-is currently on a two race win streak while being claimed in back to back. She now runs for trainer Loza who has hit with 4 of his 10 runners here with 2 seconds for a big 40% win clip. This one should get a fast pace in front of her and this trainer is on a roll.
#2 Dem a Wonder-missed her third win in a row last out by just a neck. She has the speed to be on the lead and is at the top of her game.
#3 She’s All Woman-finished second in three straight including once behind our second pick while being claimed and has since reeled off back to back easy wins. She is improving and should be right there from the start.
#8 Foxy Lady-has finished behind all three of our top picks but could run into the payoffs at a price.

Selections 8-7-6-3 Rating
#8 Journeytothemoon-came off a 5 month layoff and finished second in her first start for new trainer while going 5f. She then stretched out to this same distance and rallied to get the money. She doubles up in class and is the one to beat.
#7 Maria’s Revenge-rallied to break her maiden last out and should run into the payoffs.
#6 Midnight Bella-I try to avoid picking this guys runners whenever I can and so far out of the 118 starts he has this year it has only come back to haunt me 6 times. He is horrible but this 5 year old is dropping in class and fits well with these.
#3 Lookinlikeaqueen-did not run a step last out while being claimed for 20k. He finds a softer field and should rebound.
