TRI’s Picks February 19 Balmoral

Balmoral Park Pick 4, Races 7-10, Sunday, February 19, 2012

Last night, we had one winner, but it was under 4-1. It was Dawn’s Mist, who returned $8.80 to win. We were fifth and tenth, tenth and second in the rest of the sequence. Tonight’s ticket looks better than last nights and I remind you to bet these horses if they are 4-1 and up. Good luck!

$2 Play: 1/3,4/1,8/2 = $8

Analysis:

Race 7- (1) The Invisible Pan was in our ticket last week, but scratched sick. He returns to the class he was going to compete in last week. He raced in non-winners of three to be claimed for $8,000 in his last effort, where he raced well from post 10. He draws the rail tonight, which should allow him to save some energy for the final quarter of a mile and defeat this bunch.

Race 8- (3) We Are Battleshoe raced in this class last time, but went off stride at the beginning. In previous starts, he had very bad trips or went off stride. As long as he can stay flat tonight, he should improve. (4) Iron Outlaw was interfered last time. He still managed to gain 1 length and finish fifth. As long as no one effects this guy’s route around the mile oval, he should be competitive tonight.

Race 9- (1) Brickie Mcguire left for the lead last time, but got shuffled back. He found room in the stretch and managed to finish second. With the rail, he should get a better trip and move at the right time to win. (8) Mad Cow Lisa raced well from the outside in this class. She attempted to compete against better last time, but still does not have the capability. She races well in this class every time and should provide a good effort for us.

Race 10- (2) Winthisone Hanover stepped down last time and closed from 15 lengths off the lead last time. He goes from post 10 to post 2 and should do very well with the inside post this week.
