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 as she steps 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!
