Sunday October 12 picks

Race 1

#6 BRUNELL HANOVER couldn’t make an impact after a slow start left him behind a dawdling pace but he’s capable of better today. #3 CANNAE JOEY was a good third from post 10 last week. #4 BEFUDDLE HANOVER probably needed his last race.
Suggested bet: Win - 6

Race 2

#4 BOBSUJAK might be the most likely winner of meet while taking an incredible class drop. #6 IRASCIBLE should move forward today off a decent return.
Suggested bet: Pick-3 –4 w/ 1,3,4,6 w/ 3,6,9

Race 3

#6 RALLY BY THE RIVER just beat tougher Wednesday to prove she’s back to her formidable best. #1A SIERRA’S DREAM wins if he’s ready to roll off a five-month layoff. #4 AU BON HALL did much of the dirty work and still held well for second behind Rally by the River Wed.
Suggested bet: Exacta box – 6 w/ 1,3,4

Race 4

#3 CHAKA BLUE CHIP looks best based on her Harrington form and she has raced well on large tracks before. #9 ADAM CARTWRIGHT fits well and gets an important driver switch today. #6 QUICK DECISION should improve in her second Colonial start.
Suggested bet: Exacta box – 3,6,9

Race 5

#2 FUTURE ART was a good third in an unusually tough race two weeks ago. A repeat performance would net a better placing than third today. #3 CASUAL REPLY takes a huge class drop. #4 ETHICAL HANOVER is capable of much better than he showed in his last race.
Suggested bet: Exacta box – 2,3,4

Race 6

#10 POLO JOHNNY is on an impressive roll at Colonial. This is a tougher spot and he does lose his regular pilot but he’s awfully tough to bet against. #11 PRO NORTH couldn’t have been more impressive in his two local wins but he’ll have to overcome post 11. #4 PINK SWEATER probably needed her last.
Suggested bet: Exacta box – 10 w/ 4,7,9,11

Race 7

#1 FWF SUCCESSOR wasn’t embarrassed against a really tough group. This huge class drop should serve him well. #7 MATT’S PICK also takes a crucial class drop today. #8 MR FITNESS fits if he can transfer his fair form to the big track.
Suggested bet: Win – 1

Race 8

#1 TROT WITH LOU figures to move forward in his race since July and the class drop sure won’t hurt. #2 SURE MARK N fits very well here but has been off nearly a month. #5 CHARTLEYSMONALISA has been competitive against slightly tougher.
Suggested bet: Pick-3 – 1,2 w/ 1,3,4 w/ 5,7

Race 9

#1 MINNESOTA MARY acquitted herself well in the Williamsburg late closer and should do at least as well here. #1A Sky Queen also fits well. #3 ACTION BIG TOWNER should be closing strongly once again. #4 BOCA HANOVER will be awfully tough if she handles the track switch.
Suggested bet: Exacta box – 1,3,4

Race 10

#5 ROYAL PHOTO looks better than ever at age 10. A repeat of his last would give him a second straight win. #7 LARIANA D’ ORIO should like this spot after racing competitively against tougher all meet. #3 YOBRO TYSON was a good second against similar Tuesday.
Suggested bet: Daily Double – 5,7 w/ 7,8

Race 11

#7 JOINT CRUSADE has been a killer at this level all season long. #8 SS SENORITA wins with a repeat of that 1:53 effort from October 1. #6 COUNTRY BOY CHARM just best missed against similar a week ago.
Suggested bet: Exacta box – 6,7,8
