Canterbury Race 6 | 8:34 pm ET
#4 I’ll Make Bank (12-1 morning line odds) catches a smallish field size for turf (7) and will be flying on the front end if he takes to grass at all. Trainer Patrick Fields is 4-11 at the meet with limited starters, more notable 3 of his last 4 ($6, $9, $13) with 2 of those on turf. Win bet #4. Exacta key-box 4 with 3,6. Picks: 4-3-6
Canterbury Race 9 | pm ET
#4 Tiger Hunter (6-1 morning line odds) got an old-school sprint prep in the return and now goes sprint-to-route while second off the layoff. Trainer Chip Woolley of Mine That Bird fame has seen his barn take off in recent weeks, with 3 wins ($6, $8, $23) and 2 seconds in his last 8 starters. Win bet #4. Exacta key-box 4 with 3,5. Daily Double 4-2 to Woolley’s 5-2 shot Ize a Blast in the finale. Picks: 4-3-5
