Tuesday September 16 picks

Race 1
#2 PRO NORTH takes a substantial class drop to a level he should dominate. #5 MOONLITEBILLANDBOB can compete with the favorite on his best day but he hasn’t been out since mid-July. #1 CL BULL RUN picked up plenty of wins at the fairs this season and has some quality big track form in his past.
Suggested bet: Daily Double – 2,5 w/ 1,4

Race 2
#1 G W GRACIE DANE set a blistering pace opening night. She should hold better with a more reasonable pace today. #4 TRACY MY LOVE has been confidently placed all summer. The 2yo has shown some talent and should certainly appreciate the non-winners of one company.
Suggested bet: Exacta box – 1,4

Race 3
#10 PLAYIN ARTIST was a good third in a qualifier one week ago, right behind a subsequent winner. #3 HIGHWAY CRUISE has been knocking on the door all summer. #4 ELLEN’S JACKPOT has been competitive against similar too many times to dismiss. #9 TROT TO THE MACS seems to be on the improve and should be finishing well.
Suggested bet: Exacta box –10 w/ 3,4,9

Race 4
#4 SAMCIN finished extremely well to get second here on Saturday. He should be finishing fastest of all again tonight. #7 BOLD XAMPLE won easily the last time he faced this class. #1 IMAWHINER was good here last year and should be approaching her peak in her sixth start of 2008.
Suggested bet: Pick-4 – 4,7 w/ 2,4 w/ 2,3,6 w/ 3,5

Race 5
#2 TACTICAL ADVANTAGE reaffirmed his affinity for the one-turn mile with a dominant win on Saturday. #4 GRAHAM GRACE ACE’s speed is a bit hidden by the recent fair starts and brutal post positions at Ocean.
Suggested bet: Trifecta – 1,2, w/ 1,2,6,9 w/ 1,2,6,9

Race 6
#2 GOODBYE DADDY has a legitimate excuse for his last and looked awfully solid before that race. #3 CORPORATE STRIKE just needs to stay flat, which he tends to do with trainer Dino Milucci in the bike. #6 WINDTALKER has been facing tougher and returns to a track he likes.
Suggested bet: Exacta box – 2,3,6

Race 7
#5 STRAD HANOVER was claimed in four straight races recently, not too surprising for a winner of $60,350 this year. #3 NIFTY NORMAN’s four-race win streak ended with post eight last time but that 26.3 final quarter confirms his sharp current form.
Suggested bet: Exacta box – 3,5

Race 8
#1 S F DECATHLON just won this exact condition by 8 ½ lengths on opening night so it’s hard to bet against a repeat. #7 YOU WANNA DRAG should be prominent throughout. #8 RADIANT HALL was terrific in that early August qualifier. You can forgive the poor recent races at that price.
Suggested bet: Exacta box – 1 w/ 7,8

Race 9
#6 COOPERS CREEK N has been solid against tougher all year and thus appears to have a substantial edge on this field. #2 MAC MR VP is proven at his level. #3 EVERE AND A DAY fits well on her Scioto form but showed little in her Colonial debut last Friday.
Suggested bet: Win - 6

Race 10
#4 WESTEDGE LANE is on a bit of all roll lately and appears to be a touch better than tonight’s rivals. #5 CELEBRATE AMERICA hasn’t had a fair shot at this level, drawing terrible posts all four times. #3 IZZIE HERO fits well is she can handle the layoff.
Suggested bet: Exacta box – 3,4,5
