Pick 4 selections for Sunday's Guaranteed $25,000 at Balmoral park

Last night we scored a small Pick 4 payoff of $127.80 on our $24 ticket. I’ll take it, in fact, will take those two days a week! Tonight is the Guaranteed $25,000 Pick 4 so let’s get started and see if we can snag two in a row.

Race 7 #2 Lotsa Cotton ML 6/1 #9 Zellers Island ML 5/1 #10 Perfect Timing ML 3/1

I like Lotsa Cotton so much I gave thought of singling him here. His last two races have been solid with nice speed figures of 70 – 71 and flashes the best final times of anyone in this race. The outsider in this race is Big Black Mac who came in second last out showing a 71 speed number.

Race 8 #3 Tinkers Damn ML 4/1

She is rounding into top form and Kincley always does well with her. I don’t really see anyone else here that can challenge this 8YO mare and expect another big race from her. She is always around the money and with speed she should finally find the winners circle at Balmoral.

Race 9 #1 Maplegrove Shaelyn ML 3/1 #6 Bonnie’s Star ML 8/1 #7 Fox Valley Ruffian ML 7/2

In this race which is highly competitive I see the #1 coming back after that last race and winning. She shows great speed and class and should beat this group back as she drops in class. The chaser here is Fox Valley Ruffian, she too shows great speed and finished second to Maplegrove Shaelyn and Husted brings out the best in her.

Race 10 #2 Hereiam Coolwater ML 10/1 #4 Accountable Lady ML 7/2 #7 Fox Valley Malibu ML 10/1

If there was a race to punch the “all” button this is it. Highly contentious and several could easily upset. A true ticket buster for a pick 4. All in all, going to go with #2 Hereiam Coolwater. Great speed, has won two of her last three and Curtin her trainer gets into the buggy. The only one to challenge is the #4 if she finds her form.
