Today’s analysis and picks done pre-scratches.
Oaklawn Park • Race 8 • 4:53 p.m. ET [PPs] Another AOC, this time with 3YO fillies. I shall look no further than 3 U Glow Girl for Brad Cox and “Skinny” Joe Talamo. (That’s what we call him around our house. Huge fan.) She is 2-for-2 going 6 furlongs on the dirt. She projects to vie for the lead, which is how she won both. Who do you like underneath? It’s been a long week, and I’m just out here trying to beat trainer Chris Hartman’s entries.
Picks: 3-2-8-6
NAIL 🔨 pick: Aqueduct • Race 7 • 3:45 p.m. ET Trainer Orlando Noda gets jockey Jose Gomez to ride 7 Braciole today. He’s ridden this gelding twice, getting place money both times. Last time out was here on New Year’s Eve, but I expect Noda will have him tuned up again on short rest in this spot.
2023 NAIL record: 5-1-3-0
Best of luck!
