It will be a sprint to the finish of Golden Gate Fields’ Late Pick 4 this Friday, Feb. 16. Solve the three 5-1/2F races in the sequence and you could be on your way to a Pick 4 payout or, better yet, a Jackpot Pick 6 payout that covers races 2 through 7 and features $71,936 carryover. Here’s a closer look:

GG 4th race (5:15 p.m. EST) -- DAWN AT LAST showed a new dimension after she dueled through fast fractions, took back on the turn and re-rallied at this distance to improve her Golden Gate record to 3-for-8. Use her on the class rise. LILA AT THE BEACH has good tactical speed and can top $100,000 in earnings after she just missed in her three-peat attempt last out. TIZ A TIGER overcame those moderate fractions and rallied past ‘Lila’ for her second win in a row.

GG 5th race (5:45 p.m. EST) -- KITTEN’S KID carried her speed to victory for the first time in 16 months two starts back, should face some pressure today and is a risky, short-priced Pick 4 play, so go deep in this leg.

GG 6h race (6:15 p.m. EST) -- RAMATHORN led clear with first-time Lasix but was passed by ROCKET RHYTHM and AUTISM PUZZLE in the stretch at the same level. The outcome could be reversed at 5-1/2F today. THIRSTY BABY rallied to break her maiden going away for a $12,500 tag two starts ago and is a late-running threat for a hot barn in her second start off the claim.

GG 7th race (6:45 p.m. EST) -- SAHARA SUE pulled away on the front-end from a dreadful field to an easy score at the bottom level, but she is a threat to repeat in a field that lacks speed. SWEET LAYLA RAY made middle moves for twice this price at one mile, now takes a magnified class drop on the return to a sprint.
