PENN NATIONAL
POST-SCRATCHES
6th: 4th Penn Oaks, 3yo-F, 1m-T (P4)
This race comes in way under the radar.. a VERY good group that is getting collectively better with experience. No shortage of pace here which gives Castellano and Adorable Miss something to run at, but Fergal Lynch and Party Boat will be rallying too. Dynatail and Spanish Harlem are both 8-1 and have big chances with former exiting 3rd in the deep Hilltop 2 weeks ago and latter returning to turf for which she was bred. Tremendous start to a great P4 sequence..
Best Value: #6 Spanish Harlem 8-1
Next Best: #7 Adorable Miss 2-1
Exotics Use: #4 Party Boat 3-1
Super Add: #2 Dynatail 8-1
7th: 47th PA Governor’s Cup, 3+, 5f-T (P3, DD)
Wanted Take Cover two weeks ago in the Jim McKay and expect he’ll be that much tighter now. Not sleeping on improving Mary Eppler reclamation project Oak Bluffs either here with pace set to attack..
Most Likely: #4 Take Cover 8-1
Best Value: #3 Oak Bluffs 10-1
Next Best: #2 Richard’s Boy 2-1
Exotics Use: #7 Rainbow Heir 5-2
8th: 6th Mountainview 3+, 9f (P3)
Virtual Machine, SCR’D stunningly moved up by Cannizzo and 2nd to Connect in the Westchester, arguably better 2-turning. Really nice 6 pack including venerable Page McKenney, Eppler’s most famous claim..
Most Likely: #4 Matt King Coal 7-2
Next Best: #5 Page McKenney 9-5
Exotics Use: #1 Madefromlucky 2-1
9th: 5th Penn Mile (G2), 3yo, 1m-T (P3, Hollywood Hi-5)
Matz gets Time to Travel on to lawn where he should excel being full to 3x G1 (Wiley, Gamely, Diana) lawn winner Hard Not to Like. Big Score has been a model of consistency from time he debuted. Frostmourne should get a good stalk and pounce run 2nd/break for Clement..
Best Value: #3 Time to Travel 8-1
Next Best: #7 Big Score 5-2
Exotics Use: #8 Frostmourne 3-1
Super Add: #1e Three Diamonds entry 8-1
