Day 1
Date: April 27, 2024
Weather: Mid 50's Light rain
Wind: SE 12mph
Play of the Day: Race 9
Forest Drift (7-2) Has been showing speed against better and the shortening of distance with her first up of the season should help, last time she ran at this level she won paying $22 which was her first up of last season.
Longshot Play: Race 7
Verdejo (12-1) Catches a field with a ton of speed, hopefully with it being the first race after a break for everyone and the speed backs up late and she chases them down at the wire.
Vulnerable Favourite: Race 6
Firing Bullets (2-1) Has shown that she rather run behind others and looks like she prefers the grass.
Watch Runners: None
