Frank Carulli's Daily Picks
The Meadows - Race #1
Picks Notes
#4 CASH N CHIPS Big chance if time away helped solve her breaking problem.
#6 WHO MADE WHO Rallied for a 6/2-2-1 record this year.
#3 FAWN DE TOUCH Solid numbers, steady form, lack of pace a concern.
Race Summary Cash N Chips won eight races and more than $100,000 as a 3-year-old, but she broke stride twice late in the campaign and hasn't raced since November. Her romp in a 4-horse qualifier is encouraging and she should be a forward factor throughout if she stays flat. Play 4-3 and 4-6 exactas.
Dover Downs - Race #1
Picks Notes
#6 SHE'S NO SPINSTER Bottled up in traffic while winner was in full flight.
#7 SOUTHWIND TALISA Earned $50k last year, winless this year, drop helps.
#2 LIMA SPARTAN Starts fresh, hit board twice against streaking rival.
Race Summary She's No Spinster was trapped on the rail while the second favorite took command at the top of the stretch. She got up late on the inside to finish second. Play a 6-7-ALL trifecta and 6-7 exacta.
Yonkers - Race #4
Picks Notes
#8 I'M THE MUSCLE Slowed by pace, lacked some running room, gets class relief.
#3 PAPPY GO GO Sustained first-over rally for 43rd lifetime victory.
#2 MY BOY CHRISTIAN Ran second in last pair, post helps in paceless race.
Race Summary I'm the Muscle, unhurried in fourth as the pace slowed in the middle half, trotted evenly on the final turn but finished willingly behind the winning favorite despite some stretch traffic. He gets class relief and could get to the winners' circle at a decent price.
