𝐁𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐁𝐞𝐭-𝐑𝐚𝐜𝐞 𝟒- #𝟐 𝐌𝐚𝐧𝐟𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐨 - Starting the year off with a win is a great sign. With an inside post position, the plan is to outpace the #5 horse right from the gate and lead the pack all the way to the finish line.
𝟐𝐧𝐝 𝐁𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐁𝐞𝐭-𝐑𝐚𝐜𝐞 𝟖- #𝟐 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐲 𝐉𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐲 - Having faced much tougher competition at Saratoga and consistently competing in open races, has been up against formidable opponents like Arizona, who secured victory in the featured race last week. Given this background, cruising to victory seems highly likely.
𝐁𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐕𝐚𝐥𝐮𝐞 𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐲 -𝐑𝐚𝐜𝐞 𝟗 - #𝟒 𝐌𝐢𝐤𝐢 𝐔 𝐒𝐨 𝐅𝐢𝐧𝐞 - In the second start back, last week's race was necessary to shake off the rust. Having been a winner in the DISTRICT 9 race several times last year, should be sharper in the second start of the year, especially at a favorable price.
𝟐𝐧𝐝 𝐁𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐕𝐚𝐥𝐮𝐞 𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐲 -𝐑𝐚𝐜𝐞 𝟏𝟏 - #𝟓 𝐉𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐜𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐦𝐞𝐜𝐚𝐬𝐞𝐲 - Starting off the year with a solid 2nd place finish last week sets a promising tone for this week's race. Expectations are high for an improved performance. This horse has the versatility to be on the lead or stalk the pace and close. With Nick "No Fear" Graffam in the driver's seat, there's great value in this pick. I'm betting on them to clinch the victory in the nightcap of this Tuesday afternoon card.
