AQUEDUCT Race #7 at 3:20 PM Eastern
Top pick: #3 (LACA) - Filly showed fine speed in the slop on Jan. 7 before tiring late facing MSW opposition. Drops into a claimer, and daughter of "Cherokee Run" has raced well in her four previous tries when "tagged." The pick.
2nd pick: #1 (Kokoro) - She exits the same last race as the top pick, and actually finished well in front of her, though "Laca" showed much more speed. Drops, and draws the rail for a good barn (Mike Hushion).
3rd pick: #5 (Luau Bay) - Lightly-raced Stronach home-bred, will be racing on conventional dirt for the first time. Trainer (Mike Sedlacek) had some success last winter with several runners from this outfit.
4th pick: #7 (Hot Chile Soup) - She drops into a claimer for the first time today. Field's only three-year-old showed good speed going a mile on Jan. 30, and will cut-back in yardage to go along with the drop in price. Exotic's player at a price.

Tampa Bay +2.10 over CAROLINA (REG) PINNACLE
It’ll be a cold day in hell when I pass up a take-back like this against the Hurricanes. Here’s a team that hasn’t won at home all month and over its last three home games has been outscored 15-2. The Lightning are struggling right now but so what, they’re used to it and have been struggling all year. Thing is, they’re coming off games against New Jersey, Chicago and Washington, arguably three of this year’s elite teams and will take a giant step down in class when they face the least talented team in the league. Teams like Detroit, Washington, Boston and San Jose are favored by this much and the Canes are not close to being in that same category. Yeah, the Canes might win here but the Lightning surely has a shot and the tag makes them an absolute must play. Play: Tampa Bay +2.10 (Risking 2 units).
