Belmont at the Big A Race 6 Picks, Keeneland Myrtlewood & Valley View Stakes Selections
Belmont at the Big A Race 6
5 Golden Plate makes his second start off the layoff for trainer Linda Rice who hits at 21% winners off that angle. Gelding steps up in class after defeating a bit softer last out at the Big A. Rice also hits at 33% winners when she runs her runners back for a repeating claiming tag. Win Contender
12 Make Sense showed little in most recent start finishing a disappointing 8th. Colt was facing a much tough group of animals and never got into the race. If this son of Street Sense runs back to his victory at the Spa, he’ll have something to say at the wire. Win Contender
10 Flying Liam finished a good second at this level 3 weeks ago and sports the highest dirt speed figure of his rivals in here today. Major Threat
Selections 5-12-10-11
Keeneland Race 6 Myrtlewood Stakes
6 A Fine Chardonnay was a winner on debut at Churchill Downs, defeating a large field in the Maiden Special ranks. Filly came home very quick in the last quarter of a mile of that 6 furlong sprint. The added distance today should poise no problem for this daughter of MacClean’s Music. She facing winners for the first but likely will be up to the task with a 8/115 bullet coming in. Win Contender
1 Kingslover is the most accomplished runner of all the youngsters in here. This gal already has a Stakes win on her limited resume and gets the very good Flavien Prat in the irons today. Win Contender
2 On Time Girl has started off her Career with two straight victories for trainer Brad Cox. Hard to leave this one off your tickets. Major Threat
Selections 6-1-2-4
Keeneland Race 9 Valley View Stakes Grade 2
9 Tabiti ran into a very salty group of runners when making her North American debut in the Grade 2 Music City Stakes at Kentucky Downs, finishing 3rd versus a large field of 12. Blinkers come off as this Filly as she makes her first start in the Brad Cox camp. I expect a big improvement with one race under her belt here in the states. Top Play of the Day
4 Vixen has been facing much tougher of late from the likes of Nitrogen and Lush Lips, holding her own versus that tough competition. I’m not sure we’ll get that juicy 8-1 come post time. Don’t sleep on this Grade 3 winner. Win Contender
12 Mayday Ready has back class and must be considered. Don’t Ignore
