A $22,570 pick 5 carryover puts some extra pop in Penn National for this Wednesday evening card. The sequence spans Races 3-7 on a program that gets underway at 5:45 pm ET. Post time for the carryover sequence is 6:43 pm ET.

Penn National: Race 3
#1 Thirteen G’s is a former Linda Rice trainee who has run well in 3 starts since moving to Murray Rojas and should translate fine back to the dirt after a summer-fall campaign at Presque Isle. Back class should shine around 2 turns at this level. Morning line favorites #4 Fratellone and #5 Fairfield Bay outshine the rest of the cast, but I’ll hang my hat on a single from the rail. If we’re right, the sequence opens up.

Penn National: Race 4
#4 Blast of Mischief beat similar in a fast time last out while making a typically big move forward for local sprint ace trainer Tim Kreiser’s first attempt with her. A repeat of that runs away from these. Morning line favorite #3 Gwen to Win has faced stronger competition in some starts, but hasn’t been automatic on previous class drops. Certainly a factor but may be overbet if the line holds.

Penn National: Race 5
Field of 5 maidens looks laced with pitfalls. The one trustworthy runner looks to be #4 Don’t Even Think in a second-off-the-layoff situation in which she ran a good second at this class/distance upon her return. Blinkers go on for a high-percentage outfit. It’s a single-or-spread situation and I’m going to opt for the latter given the narrowness of the rest of the ticket.

Penn National: Race 6
Another 5-horse cast where former Kentuckian #4 Don’s Last Ride appears to have found a new home off his Penn National maiden breaker Oct. 22. Veteran trainer Bruce Kravets brings this one back on the natural rise in class vs. winners. The others are 4-59 lifetime combined, so this one’s 1-6 ledger with 4 losses in Kentucky looks highly competitive.

Penn National: Race 7
Nine are entered in the anchor leg, and trainer #8 Nit Witness earns top billing off solid Delaware-Maryland form for a high-percentage barn. Should fit well here and be the one to catch. George Albright has #1 Normandy Life well-placed for this claiming condition on a massive class drop. The local mark is very solid on dirt and particularly on a fast track, which is expected. #2 Serious Nonsense has had trouble pairing up big efforts, but high-percentage connections have one here that’s more than capable on her best.
