Brian W. Spencer's Daily Picks
Laurel Park - Race #3
Picks Notes
#6 Dontmesawithme Perfect outside of stakes company, he'll try the turf for the first time today. If he handles the footing, he's quick enough to win this at a solid number on the board.
#3 Tricks To Doo Has some upside in this second start off the layoff after catching a nice winner who will try Monmouth stakes company today.
#8 Stroll Smokin Forward player draws well outside, and he has a mild pressing gear that should serve him well if one of the other runners with some pace want to make a break for it.
Race Summary Dontmesawithme would feel like a pretty big overlay at anything like the 20/1 ML price, as he has run a trio of really nice races outside of stakes company and can get a great trip near the splits with these. Question is if he'll like the lawn.
Laurel Park - Race #7
Picks Notes
#8 Villamoura Blinkers on after a mostly even debut try, and she has plenty of room to improve with the experience and the equipment chance.
#10 Coconut Cake Finished with a big rush in the debut run with better, but I wouldn't want to take anything shorter than the 3/1 ML offering to find out if she can get there today.
#5 Summer Hours Needs better today, but she's got some early hoof that should keep her in the mix out of the gate in a spot where the likely chalk is going to be finishing late.
Race Summary Villamoura has some upside with the blinkers going on this afternoon, and after making a mild middle move in the debut, the blinks might allow her to sustain that kind of effort today.
Laurel Park - Race #9
Picks Notes
#9 No Bull Addiction Might offer something better with the comeback race out of the way, and he'll be a big price in a spot where his best stuff fits.
#4 Papal Law Speed probably doesn't meet a ton of other early pace here, and like the top choice, he may stay better with his 2020 debut under his belt.
#1 Rambaldi Euro invader doesn't catch the toughest of groups, but he'll be running nine furlongs off the layoff which is a question.
Race Summary No Bull Addiction can get a really good go of things from near the top with these, and he has some room to improve off his comeback run.
