Kevin Plowcha's Picks - 9/7/24
Best Bet: Pitt ML- I mean R13: #4 – JK Miki Mantle
Value Play: R6 – #2 Shanghai James
Race 1: 6-5-1-3
(#6) Green Meadow has shown gate speed in the past that could be useful here today. Matters more in a shorter field like this.
Race 2: 2-3-8-5
(#2) Dark Soul sat close and kicked home in :28 for a solid second. A similar trip puts him right there again and likely by them all.
Race 3: 6-2-1-4
(#6) Swanstead is too sharp right now. He couldn’t make it three in a row but raced well again and should be put in play early.
Race 4: 4-5-6-8-1
(#4) Native’s Sweetlou produced a fast win in his latest with the driver change. Merriman back on looking to repeat.
Race 5: 6-8-1-3
(#6) Benjamin Hanover returns to action after a solid qualifier with Lasix. He has loved this track in the past and should handle these.
Race 6: 2-1-5-6
(#2) Shanghai James tends to pace some quick miles and has a much better chance when up close. These claimers aren’t as consistent as others that he has been facing. Expecting a big effort.
Race 7: 1-5-7-9-3
(#1) Ryans Ambassador raced extremely well in his latest when first over. Needs to not be left behind at the start.
Race 8: 7-4-6-3
(#7) Liteningonthebeach finished fourth last week but didn’t lose by much. I’ll count on him getting away well in the early stages and hopefully not being involved in a wicked pace duel.
Race 9: 4-5-3-9
(#4) So So De Vie tends to improve drastically when dropping to a level this low. He was a winner at 3-5 back on 8/3 in this class. Wilder needs to be aggressive.
Race 10: 6-5-8-1
(#6) Quick Trick returns after a stint in Ohio. He adds Lasix this week, hoping he’s driven aggressively. It worked on Adios Day.
Race 11: 3-2-6-5
(#3) Odds On Blockchain is a high speed horse making his Meadows debut. A speed try is looming with Palone. Will need to take down a couple of classy foes.
Race 12: 8-3-6-5
(#8) Gotthisonewish was much better last week when adding Lasix. Can he hold on this week?
Race 13: 4-1-5-9-2
(#4) JK Miki Mantle is one that can’t ever be ignored when taking a drop to this level, especially when it looks like the pace will set up someone from mid-pack, which is his preferred style. Surprised he hasn’t won more.
