Brian W. Spencer's Daily Picks
Mahoning Valley - Race #6
Mahoning Valley - Race #7
Picks Notes #4 Rubinstein Demand a playable price, as he's not in great form right now, but he gets back down to to a level where he has been a bit more competitive in some of the races on his page. Maybe. #3 Perfetto He's one of the ones today, but I worry about the way he's been giving away ground late in his recent races and think he's probably got company near the top from the stretchout player just inside. #5 American Nightmare The last few stack up well enough here, but I wouldn't be too excited for another short price today in a spot where I'm not completely sold he's going to hold his form. Race Summary Rubinstein gets a slight call at what should be a decent number on the board, but I don't really trust anyone else in here, so it's a simple win play and hope for the best for me.
Mahoning Valley - Race #8
Picks Notes #6 Twisted Justice She's probably all or nothing today, but she draws well to utilize her pace in a race without a ton of early burn signed on. Should be in a position to control or prompt the pace from the start. #4 Bodil Think she's the most logical winner in the group, and she should be in a decent spot to spy the top choice early. Capable, but she's on a long string of slices and is probably another relatively short price. #1 Hello Sweets The overall form fits if she's ready to go off the layoff, but I wouldn't want to be here at too short a price with some underwhelming local running lines from last summer still on her page. Race Summary Twisted Justice has a little bit of midrange price appeal in a spot where her prompting pace might set her up for a great run of things.
Picks Notes #1 Kissing Medals She ran well at 38/1 to be third in the debut try, and she'll get Lasix for the second start today for a team that has done some good work in the last month. Reasonable second-out improvement puts her in the frame. #2 Wild Mariah She's not finding a ton of other committed pace, so that speed she showed in the last two starts might serve her well if they want to try to take this to them early. #8 Hot Princess She still needs to come forward if she's going to land this, but she has been slowly heading the right way and showed a bit more finishing punch last out. Not impossible. Race Summary Kissing Medals isn't far off what it might take to land this, and she has logical room to improve today while getting Lasix for the second go.
Frank Carulli's Daily Picks
Parx - Race #1
Parx - Race #2
Picks Notes #6 VICTORIOUS VICTORIA (7-2) Ranged up after bad start and faltered; dam was 5-16 with $167k. #8 MIKEY’S SONG (2-1) Rallied for share in three straight for $40k before latest start. #1 NEIGHBELLINE (5-2) Chased 4-1 winner in slow heat as the favorite, held second. Race Summary VICTORIOUSVICTORIA went to her knees briefly at the start, advanced behind the dueling leaders through the turn but flattened out in the stretch in a well-bet debut for a strong first-out barn. She drops in class off the claim, gets Lasix and gets in light-weighted. Bet to win and place.
Parx - Race #3
Picks Notes #6 PREDOMINATE (9-2) Solid numbers, likes Parx, lack of pace the concern on class drop. #2 SAILOR’S RETURN (2-1) Earned top speed in defeat but remains dangerous as pace controller again. #1 DAD’S ON A ROLL (4-1) Won three times in a seven-race stretch in the second half of last year. Race Summary PREDOMINATE, a solid starter allowance router in the fall, could find his recent descent on the claiming ladder to his liking at this level. He finished in the money in 10 of 15 at Parx and looks to build on a six-figure bankroll. Bet to win and place.
Picks Notes #4 NINJA PRIZE (2-1) Ideally spotted, can make good use of speed, won off similar rest in December. #1 LUCKY DUDE (6-1) Took money, raced wide into slow pace, has two wins at 6F. #3 COMPLETED STORM (9-2) Reversed form, sprung an 11-1 upset with blinkers on. Race Summary NINJA PRIZE shook a duel with next-out winner TAP IN FORMATION two starts back, then dueled and gave way to a trio of deep closers on a muddy track last out. He gets class relief and could spar with the same rival and continue on with another victory. Bet to win and place.

Turf Paradise - Race #4 - Post: 2:19pm - Claiming - 8.0 furlongs on the Dirt. Purse: $16,000 Class Rating: 87
Rating:
#5 CARPE BELLUM (ML=3/1)
#4 CONRAD THE RED (ML=7/2)
#3 COLOR ME LEGENDARY (ML=5/1)
CARPE BELLUM - A thoroughbred coming back this quickly after a solid effort is a good sign. CONRAD THE RED - This gelding is in excellent physical condition right now. Ran second last time around the track and comes back quickly. That 85 fig this gelding notched in his last event tells me he's a main player this time. COLOR ME LEGENDARY - Expect this gelding to be last down the backstretch early and come flying down the lane.
Vulnerable Contenders: #7 CLEARING CUSTOMS (ML=4/1), #1 CLEAR THE COAST (ML=9/2), #2 BLUES RAPPER (ML=8/1),
CLEARING CUSTOMS - Hard to play this gelding today since the event isn't limited to three year olds. Should be difficult for this animal to beat this group off of that last speed fig. Not probable to improve enough to run a figure anywhere near today's Equibase class figure, so put him on the questionable contenders list. CLEAR THE COAST - Hard to wager on any horse to turn things around if there is no wager value to taking the stab. BLUES RAPPER - Hard to put any cash on this gelding on the front end. Likes to end up on the board though.

RECOMMENDED CHOICES 
# 8 WARRIOR'S VENDETTA 8/1
# 5 SMARTEN UP 6/1
# 10 KEANU 9/2
I give the nod to WARRIOR'S VENDETTA in this event and the potential return justifies the precarious nature of the long odds. Overall the Speed Figures of this horse look formidable in this race. Garnered a very strong Equibase Speed Figure last time out. Trainers don't bring horses back this quickly just for fun. SMARTEN UP - Has to be given consideration against this group of animals displaying decent figures lately and an average Equibase speed fig of 69 under similar conditions. He must be considered given the very good speed figs. KEANU - Has to be given a shot versus this field displaying respectable figures lately and an average Equibase Speed Figure of 69 under similar conditions. Should go off at a big price and has some positive angles going for him.

RECOMMENDED CHOICES # 4 JESS A WILD CANDY 9/2
# 2 MY CORONA BLUES 8/1
# 5 PIRATES FAST CASH 5/2
My pick for this event is JESS A WILD CANDY. Has garnered strong Speed Figures in short races in the past. Aquino will probably be able to get this gelding to break out early in this race. MY CORONA BLUES - Is a definite contender - given the 80 Equibase Speed Fig from his most recent race. With a sound ROI of +27 this trainer has shown solid results with entries running at this distance and surface. PIRATES FAST CASH - He looks respectable in this slot and I expect will be on the front end or close at the halfway point.

Rating:
#5 LORDHEARMYPRAYER (ML=3/1)
#6 MISS LINDYSUE (ML=7/2)
#1 IMA SURE BET (ML=6/1)
LORDHEARMYPRAYER - The way this affair sets up this mare will be in stalking position when they start the running for real. This horse could be tough this time, especially since Barbaran rode last out and now should be acquainted with this one. The 52 most recent race speed rating looks mighty good in the TrackMaster PPs. I like to play this angle, a pony coming back off a strong effort within the last month or so. MISS LINDYSUE - First-time going 1 mile 70 yards. This trainer is a keen one when it comes to stretching out any equine. I'd give them a real good look. Fletcher gets a break on this horse carrying 5 lbs less than last out. Should be helpful in this event. IMA SURE BET - Always be wary of the longer priced horse when a trainer has an 'uncoupled' entry in a race. Ran last time around the track against better company at Mahoning Valley Race Cour. The move down the ladder based on class should suit her well.
Vulnerable Contenders: #2 BANK BUSTER (ML=2/1), #4 CLIMATE (ML=4/1),
BANK BUSTER - You always believe this horse has a shot to be the victor, but she just misses regularly. CLIMATE - This vulnerable equine ran a most unsatisfactory speed figure in the last race. She shouldn't show signs of improvement and will likely suffer defeat in today's race running that figure.
STRAIGHT WAGERS: #5 LORDHEARMYPRAYER is the play if we get odds of 7/2 or better EXACTA WAGERS: Pass
TRIFECTA WAGERS:Box [1,5,6] Total Cost: $6 SUPERFECTA WAGERS: Pass
