TRI’s Picks April 21 Balmoral

Balmoral Park Pick 4, Races 10-13, Saturday, April 21, 2012

Last week, we had one winner, but it was under 4-1, My Dream Mara ($8). This week’s ticket looks better. Good luck!

$2 Play: 4,9/3/3,9/9 = $8

Analysis:

Race 10- (4) Weekend Update was live last time in the Open at Maywood. She made a first over move for the lead, but could not sustain. She steps down and should do better. (9) Edita Hanover paced a very tough mile last week. She was used twice, going first over for two calls. Although she steps up and has an outside post, she should be capable of dealing with it.

Race 11- (3) Star City Hero has the credentials to win this. When he draws an inside post, he is normally in the top three. In this field that is not that competitive, he will be the best win shot of the night.

Race 12- (3) Ohyouateonetoo raced well last time in this class. He went first over, but was tired and the leader drew off. As long as he gets a good trip, he will be one to beat. (9) Alabama Howard should be able to close. With post 9, he’ll have to sit off the pace, pick up cover and bomb.

 
Race 13- (9) Shark Waves raced well in this company two starts back. As long as he doesn’t get hung, he’ll be in contention.
