Top Value Plays:

Race 2 – Eve of Eve Win with Place Exacta: Eve of Eve demonstrates overwhelming consensus support with 100% confidence rating. Construct exacta wagering by keying this dominant selection over Chapellete and My Idea place candidates. The minus pool advantage creates favorable payout scenarios.

Race 4 – Czar’s Ballerina with Chrome Racer Exacta: Czar’s Ballerina and Chrome Racer combine for exceptionally strong consensus support (75% each). These selections represent the most statistically aligned picks of the card. Exacta boxes and wheels offer value at reasonable odds.

Race 5 – Venice Vibe Win: Venice Vibe commands 75% consensus confidence as single strongest selection on card. Win wagering carries minimal risk given universal backing from Pick Pony analysts. This horse represents the card’s best value for straight wagering.

Trifecta Strategy: Race 4 offers the most reliable trifecta construction. Key Czar’s Ballerina in first position, use Chrome Racer in second, then box remaining logical contenders (Miz Jameson, Eli’s Girl) in third position for cost efficiency.

Superfecta Opportunities: Races 2 and 4 provide reliable superfecta foundations. Eve of Eve over Chapellete over My Idea combinations in Race 2 create economical four-horse superfecta base. Race 4 permits similar construction with top consensus selections.
