Best Bets and Quick Picks

Turf Paradise: Race 4: $5,000 Starter Allowance (6 1/2 furlongs on dirt, 4:38 p.m. ET)

#4 Yes He Can (8-5) has won five of his last six starts, including a pair of recent $5,000 starter allowances at Turf Paradise. His red-hot form and affinity for sprinting should give him the edge he needs to score another win over #5 Strength of Autism (8-1) and #2 Little Trouble (3-1).

Let’s bet an exacta accordingly.

Selections

• #4 Yes He Can (8-5)
• #5 Strength of Autism (8-1)
• #2 Little Trouble (3-1)

Wagers

• $15 Exacta: 4 with 2,5 ($30)

Turf Paradise: Race 7: $25,000-$20,000 Allowance Optional Claiming (one mile on turf, 6:00 p.m. ET)

Formerly based in California, #6 Guiltyofhavingfun (6-1) has found the competition at Turf Paradise more suitable. On Dec. 23, she trounced a $10,000-$8,500 claimer by three lengths. On Jan. 4, she romped by 4 3/4 lengths in a $20,000-$15,000 allowance optional claimer. Both of those wins came on turf.

We’re willing to bet Guiltyofhavingfun can keep her win streak going even while stepping up in class. If her 6-1 morning-line odds hold up, she’ll be an appealing win play.

Selections

• #6 Guiltyofhavingfun (6-1)
• #7 Platinum Diva (7-2)
• #3 Peak Earnings (4-1)

Wagers

• $30 to win on #6 Guiltyofhavingfun (6-1)

Turf Paradise: Race 8: $15,000-$12,500 Maiden Claiming (5 1/2 furlongs on dirt, 6:27 p.m. ET)

#12 Lotsa Kitty (10-1) hasn’t been in great form lately, but she’s been competing against tougher competition, most recently finishing eighth in a Turf Paradise maiden special weight.

Last summer, Lotsa Kitty finished second in a trio of $25,000 maiden claimers at Emerald Downs. A return to that level of form would make her formidable against Tuesday’s field, so let’s bet her to win.

Selections

• #12 Lotsa Kitty (10-1)
• #7 Nurse Lucy (15-1)
• #5 Thebiggerthebetter (4-1)

Wagers

• $25 to win on #12 Lotsa Kitty

Good luck!
