Frank Carulli's Daily Picks
Harrah's Philadelphia - Race #2
Picks Notes
#2 ITS JUST TOO MUCH Chased odds-on fave around the track, takes class hike.
#1 MCERLEAN 50-time winner was first-over in 'amateur' races, one to beat from rail.
#6 ARQUE HANOVER No threat in fast heat on drop to this level, goes well in here.
Race Summary Its Just Too Much responded to more aggressive tactics but couldn't reach the 2-to-5 favorite in his bid for a 25th victory. He steps up in class today, but his price goes up with it. Play 2-1 and 2-6 exactas.
Northfield Park - Race #1
Picks Notes
#3 CHARLEYINTHEBOX Good try behind the faves at Dayton, jumps conditions.
#1 OLD TOWN ROAD Second from up close to the pace in last two starts.
#2 YANKEE SPARKLE Paced evenly from post 8 in faster division of split race.
Race Summary Charleyinthebox earned his top speed figure when chasing the 7-5 winner and 9-5 pocket sitter at Dayton last out. He's eligible for an easier spot but remains a good value play with a duplicate effort. Play 3-1, 3-2 and 3-4 exactas.
The Meadows - Race #2
Picks Notes
#3 UNCLE KIP Slowed by pace as beaten fave, draws closer inside, takes on elders.
#4 MENSA Filly changed tactics, failed at 1-to-9 odds upon arrival from Canada.
#7 KEEP YOUR PROMISE Has speed, use underneath on gimmick wagers at a price.
Race Summary Uncle Kip rallied first-over into a 1:01.3 middle half and settled for second best as the odds-on favorite. The 2-year-old can improve off that effort with a better starting spot and pick up his first victory. Bet on him to win and place.
