Penn National Race 3 | 6:43 pm ET
#7 Tudox Dahlia (10-1 morning line odds) gets a longshot look with her first attempt on turf. Trainer Elisha Perez has gone 5-for-8 in the exacta this month at Penn Nat and is doing everything right. Sire Weigelia gets a solid 15% winners in Penn National turf sprints with a 3% positive ROI from 120 starts. There’s plenty of early foot here, so the 5-furlong trip might be the elixir if she handles turf. Win bet #7. Exacta back-wheel 1,3,4,5,6,9,10 over 7. Picks: 7-4-10

Penn National Race 5 | 7:41 pm ET
#1 Strawberry Treat (4-1 morning line odds) has been consistent and fits very well at this starter/optional claiming level. Trainer Michael Zalalas, from 19 starters this year at Penn National at 10-1 or less odds, has seen 12 finish in the exacta (63%). There’s a ton of early speed in this race to give this veteran closer a chance to punch them out late for back-to-back wins. Win bet #1. Exacta box 1-2. Picks: 1-2-5
