3/11/18 Golden Gate Fields Late Pick Four - Preview

Changing it up a bit Sunday by shifting my action back upstate, where I need not be concerned with any sudden surface switches from the turf to the main track.  So with that let's get to it, as I take another run at The Late Pick Four at The Bay's Best Bet.

RACE 6 - (F) OC 40k/N1X - Six Furlongs Synthetic

A’s

# 7 Our Bold Princess (Morning Line 6-1)

B’s

# 3 Streetwithnoname (ML 2-1)
# 4 Team Hollywood (ML 3-1)
# 5 Blessed Lady (ML 5-2)
# 6 Shylock Eddie (ML 10-1)

C's

None

Our Bold Princess graduated last time out after having come oh so close several times prior; perhaps Our Bold Princess has finally figured it out.  Streetwithnoname and Blessed Lady are two that should benefit from class relief; while Team Hollywood and Shylock Eddie are both coming off victories where they ran well enough to suggest that they can win again here today.

RACE 7 - OC 62.5k/N2X - Six Furlongs Synthetic

A’s

# 7 Quick and Silver (ML 2-1)

B’s

# 2 Percy's Bluff (ML 9-2)
# 5 Outside Nashville (ML 3-1)

C's

None

Quick and Silver filled out the bottom rung of the Superfecta in the Lost in the Fog last time out, and looks to be best here.  Percy's Bluff and Outside Nashville, both trained by Jerry Hollendorfer, have both recently finished behind Quick and Silver; but both ran well enough to suggest that either (or both) could turn the tables today.

RACE 8 - (F) ALW N1X - Six Furlongs Synthetic

A's

# 6 Please Do (ML 2-1)

B's

None

C's

# 2 Hal's Buddy (ML 8-1)
# 5 Dahlia Azul (ML 10-1)
# 8 Strip It Down (ML 12-1)

Scratch # 4 Sheeza Sassy Girl (ML 9-2)

Please Do missed victory by just a neck at this class level last time out.  Hal's Buddy just didn't feel like running last time out; perhaps that will change today.

Dahlia Azul is jumping up quite a bit in class; but Trainer Jonathan Wong does so well when placing his last out winners that his opinion to send Dahlia Azul here must be respected.  Strip It Down closed well to graduate last time out, and could improve with the stretch out to two turns.

RACE 9 - Clm $12.5k N2X - Eight Furlongs Synthetic

A’s

# 4 Barton Lodge (Ire) (ML 3-1)

B’s

# 3 Night's Watch (ML 4-1)
# 6 Call Saul (ML 6-1)
# 7 Desert Express (ML 5-1)
# 8 The Ref (ML 10-1)

C's

None

Barton Lodge (Ire) has finished in the Trifecta at this class level in each of his last two starts, both times behind next out winners.  Night's Watch may have needed that last race off the layoff.

Call Saul and Desert Express filled out the bottom two rungs of the Trifecta at this class level last time out.  The Ref enters this contest with a two race winning streak, albeit against lesser company.

OK, that's the analysis.  Playing my tickets in modified Crist fashion, I get:

All A Entries

$1.00 P4: 7 with 7 with 6 with 4 $1.00

All A Entries with All B Entries

$0.50 P4: 3,4,5,6,7 with 2,5,7 with 6 with 3,4,6,7,8 $37.50

A's with One C

$0.50 P4: 7 with 7 with 2,5,8 with 4 $1.50

Total: $40.00

Post Time for Race 6 is 5:55 EDT / 2:55 PDT.  Good luck to all.

Peace and Love,

Jimbo
