Starting off the week by going to the opener on the card. RACE 1 # 1 RENO (3-1) Comes into this race after losing to an odds on favorite after trying to go wire to wire at this distance. Switches to ultra hot Jockey J.J. Hernandez and is 33% winners with trainer Peter Eurton. This is a 5 year old gelding and being the third race in a row, figures to be his best. Has a bullet work since last raced. Being on the rail, J.J. will have to be sent to the lead.
THE BET: WIN / PLACE FLAT BET and use with #5 in Pick 3 & 5’s PLACE PARLAY
RACE 3 # 5 TIGHT SQUEEZE (8-5) Drops back down to her win level, as Berrios rides back. Was bumped repeatedly up the backstretch and was bothered on the turn. Look for jockey Berrios to have her in the clear on the outside for some free running in the stretch. Two easy works since last raced, has her on edge.
THE BET: WIN / PLACE FLAT BET and use with # 2 & 7 in Pick 3 & 5’s PLACE PARLAY
RACE 5 # 9 CASE HIT (3-1) Just ran second to repeat winner SIR ROCKET, in his first race in 11 months. Now trainer Miller takes off the blinkers and Respoli rides him back. Nice easy 5 furlong work around the dogs since raced says today’s the day.
THE BET: WIN / PLACE FLAT BET and use with # 8-6-3-2 in Pick 3 & 5’s PLACE PARLAY
