BEST of the BETS

Some decent horses on show tonight. Early picks based on DRF tipster consensus approach:

OP R1 Implicator 6/4
OP R7 Federal Case 7/2
GP R2 Wicked Solution 5/2
GP R4 Peacock Kitten 9/4
GP R7 Shamrocket 5/4

Trebles and up with small stakes; will bet some singles later.

Irad Ortiz is back at GP tonight and rides 7 favs. That changes a lot if you are betting tonight.

R2 TBD

Backing #2 TOlLY HO to finish 1-2-3 @ 10/11. Tough race to win, but has a solid chance of finishing in the places.

Got 3rd but in a DH. Never mind

R4 GP

Ortiz first race back youd think theyd have him on a winner but Im backing against it.

2 against the field #7 & #9 (EVS coupled)

Zayas on the #9 has had a shocker. Incredibly ran up the backside of the fav twice when there was acres of room around. Should have won it.

Yeah, should have had that. A 2nd and a NR to add to that from mine so far. Could do with Shamrocket landing.

R5

We are in tricky territory here. Ortiz on an unraced fav. I like #4 a bit with Saez on board, but @ 2/1 its hardly great value against what could be a laid out cert. Just a watch for me.

The fav #8 beats #4.

Ortiz is 2/2. Punters with big accas will be getting excited.

R6

Having a punt on #9 MISS MIAMI @ 9/1 ew.

4th, not quick enough.

Another for Ortiz.

R7 TBD

Backing #8 MANCORA @ 8/11 to place. Looks solid.

4th, run out of it late. :grimace:

One of those nights where nothing is going quite right.

R7 GP

Ortiz on the fav again going for 4/4. Its 4/6 over here as liabilities will start to stack up on accas. It was 9/5 ML which is a good enough indication of its chances, but when a jockey is in this form its painful trying to oppose him.

Ortiz only 2nd behind a very impressive winner the #4. Never going to beat that one.

Bang on when you said it’s one of those nights. I’ve got one more at Oaklawn but the Acca’s are all dead.
