Fast and firm for the Saturday card at The Spa — nothing more exciting than making opening day a winning one, with 3 winners on top and a flat bet profit, but another difficult handicapping card on tap, so let’s not get too confident!

In race 11: Sailmate (#2) excels off extended vacations, loves 7 furlongs and has run well locally — big price too tempting to pass up.  Key in late multi-race wagers and play an exacta box with #’s 8 and 1.

In race 8, Plainview (#7) is 3 for 4 on the local sod and meets easier today — should take these all the way at a decent price.  Key in all doubles and pic 3′s and play an exacta box with #’s 3 and 11.  Here’s the entire card and good luck!

Race 1: 7, 4 and 3

Race 2: 7, 4 and 2

Race 3: 6, 9 and 8

Race 4: 7, 1 and 9

Race 5: 9, 7 and 6
