Best Bets and Quick Picks

Will Rogers Downs: Race 3: $15,000 Maiden Claiming (5 1/2 furlongs on dirt, 3:09 p.m. ET)

#7 Blake’s Song (3-5) has lots of early speed and owns the three highest Brisnet Speed ratings in this field. She’s run well in a couple of recent maiden claimers at Sam Houston and shouldn’t have much difficulty winning her Will Rogers Downs debut for hot trainer Brent Davidson, a 21% winner this meet.

#1 Posetively Perfect (6-1) and #4 Blister Bug (12-1) can battle to complete the exacta.

Selections

• #7 Blake’s Song (3-5)
• #1 Posetively Perfect (6-1)
• #4 Blister Bug (12-1)

Wagers

• $18 Exacta: 7 with 1
• $12 Exacta: 7 with 4
  Total: $30

Turf Paradise: Race 3: $12,500 Maiden Claiming (six furlongs on dirt, 4:55 p.m. ET)

After competing in a couple of stakes, including the Princess of Palms S. at Turf Paradise, #1 Social Promise (8-1) should appreciate dropping in class for a $12,500 maiden claimer. It’s worth noting she owns the highest Brisnet Speed rating in Tuesday’s field.

Social Promise’s 8-1 morning-line odds are enticing, so let’s try betting her to win.

Selections

• #1 Social Promise (8-1)
• #3 Dontgiveupthefight (5-2)
• #7 Bango Gal (5-1)

Wagers

• $20 to win on #1 Social Promise (8-1)

Will Rogers Downs: Race 7: TRAO Classic Sprint S. (six furlongs on dirt, 4:57 p.m. ET)

#3 C W Prize (5-2) hasn’t missed the exacta in his last six starts, including three stakes. He routinely throws down sharp Brisnet Speed ratings. Trainer Joe Offolter wins at a 22% rate in non-graded stakes, so C W Prize can spring a mild upset over defending TRAO Classic Sprint winner #2 Connors Outlaw (2-1), who wasn’t in the sharpest form when last seen in the fall.

Let’s bet C W Prize to win and bet him over Connors Outlaw in a small exacta.

Selections

• #3 C W Prize (5-2)
• #2 Connors Outlaw (2-1)
• #6 Our Cornerstone (4-1)

Wagers

• $25 to win on #3 C W Prize
• $5 Exacta: 3 with 2
  Total: $30

Good luck!
