Fast and firm at Monmouth with another competitive Saturday card to be run in very hot conditions.  Starting to get excited about Saratoga next week, but I will try and keep my focus on picking some winners today!

In race 6, Upgrade (#5) has burned some money in last 4 starts but has run well and firgures to sit the perfect stalking trip at another short price — I’m keying in all doubles and pick 3’s and playing an exacta box with Grand Pride (#2).

In race 12, Jersey Brother (#7) just missed in last start at this distance and goes 3rd off the layoff — ready to get the job done today.  I’m keying in the late pick 3 and pick 4 and playing an exacta box with Score the Gold (#9) and Hello Handsome (#10).

In race 10, Almoradi (#2) gets the blinkers on for Biancone, whose turf horses have been firing on all cylinders at the Monmouth.  I’m keying in all doubles and pick 3’s and playing an exacta box with Best Actor (#1).  Here’s the entire card and good luck!
