Saturday's Horses To Watch

Picks for 7/6/24

Aqueduct (BAQ) | Race 2 | Dirt | 8F | Post 1:04 ET
#2 Hades
Short field in the Grade III Dwyer but we’ll look for the minor upset with this runner popping an NPT on sophomore debut putting him in a good spot to take a dramatic step forward today.

Monmouth Park | Race 6 | Dirt | 8.3F | Post 3:18 ET
#6 Classy Chick
Given a needed conditioner off the break with an NPT and now stretches back out quickly to right distance today.

Aqueduct (BAQ) | Race 7 | Dirt | 7F | Post 3:40 ET
#5 Sin Nombre
20/1 ML longshot has been putting in good conditioning trying to go with winners posting consecutive NPTs in all three tries.

Gulfstream Park | Race 8 | Turf | 5F | Post 4:31 ET
#7 Urban Legend
Popped an NPT in victory on season debut after winter break and now gets not only the 2nd off the break NPT angle, but the NPT switch to turf angle to pair.

Aqueduct (BAQ) | Race 9 | Turf | 9.5F | Post 4:42 ET
#1 Pin Up Betty
Switched to turf after earning REV on the main track and saw turf spreads grow -2h to +12 to +15 with a PLOW in last. Should run well today.

Canterbury Park | Race 4 | Turf | 7.5F | Post 7:40 ET
#4 Nave
Been disappointing on the main track but his dirt spreads have been tightening up in every sophomore race which can often be a sign a runner would benefit from more distance or trying turf. Runner will get both those angles today with some odds behind to try.
