BEST BET–MONMOUTH PARK—RACE 10–# 9 JACOBS RUN.
Ships up from Delaware for this 10 claimer. Was running for 16 and 17500 in Delaware, so we get a sizeable drop in class. was running well at Delaware with a win and 2nd in his last 2. Gets Bravo up and a favorable pace to run into.
NEXT BEST–ARLINGTON PARK—RACE 4–# 2 ROYAL JABAR.
Gets back on polytrack today, his only race on the plastic was a win at Keeneland. Anything resembling that race will crush this field today. Trainer has won with 9 of 17 starters at the meet, a gaudy 41% with winners and ITM 17 of 22 times.
VALUE BET–MONMOUTH PARK—RACE 5–# 4 POINTING NORTH / # 3 A UNIQUE TREASURE/ # 1 BIG DEALER.—$1 tri-box
I really like # 4 POINTING NORTH, A South African gelding that likes sprinting on the turf. Many an older horse from South Africa has come hre and flourished, SPOOK EXPRESS keeps coming to mnd. # 3 A UNIQUE TREASURE has been running well sprinting on the turf and looks well spotted in this spot. # 1 BIG DEALER has the speed and the rail and will be in the number.
