Same Play (Race 8) represents the strongest consensus play of the day with 100% analyst backing. Use this horse as key in all Pick 3 and Pick 4 structures spanning this race. The straightforward exacta with Sarah’s Runner offers solid payout potential.
Motel Patel (Race 1) and Kokomo Starlet (Race 4) both command universal backing. These horses serve as excellent multi-race combination anchors. Consider Pick 3 tickets spanning Races 1-3 or Races 4-6 with these dominant selections.
One Sweet Deal (Race 3) provides the second-strongest consensus win of the day. Strong candidate for sequential Pick 3 combinations and back-to-back exacta plays with Race 4 (Kokomo Starlet).
Country Deals (Race 6) and Speightful One (Race 7) both show two-thirds confidence consensus at reasonable morning line odds, offering value plays for place and show positions in multi-race tickets.
Races 2 and 5 display weak consensus patterns, making these optimal spots to use alternative selections as key horses in multi-race tickets. Maximize exotic payoff potential while maintaining reasonable ticket cost structure.
Construct a Pick 4 spanning Races 6-9 using Country Deals and Speightful One as anchors with multiple runners in the weaker consensus races (Races 5 and 9).
