Scott Ehlers, a Daily Racing Form handicapper and analyst, has issued his selections for Monday’s racing card at Turf Paradise, identifying Littleyellowjacket as his best bet in the sixth race. Ehlers projects Littleyellowjacket to finish first, followed by Cozmic Brownie and Lucky and Gone.
Littleyellowjacket, according to Ehlers’ analysis, demonstrated improvement in its most recent start and benefits from a second Lasix application and a capable barn. The analyst notes a full field will likely enhance exotic payouts. Cozmic Brownie, despite a slow start in its debut, showed promise by finishing ahead of the majority of the field and is entering the race off strong workouts. Lucky and Gone is sired by a stallion with a strong record in debut races, and boasts a pedigree with winning siblings.
Ehlers also provided his top three selections for the remaining races on the card. In the first race, he favors Famous Mobster, followed by Sweetdisire and Imm Beyond the Stars, a contest featuring quarter horses. For the second race, Chapter Seven is his top pick, with Western Feel and Miss Madame rounding out the projected order. Chapter Seven’s dam had a successful two-year-old debut, and the horse’s siblings have demonstrated winning potential.
Rapporteur is Ehlers’ choice in the third race, with Another Lifer and Lucky Tiger predicted to follow. He questions why Rapporteur is entered in a maiden claiming race given its connections. Peak Earnings is favored in the fourth race, with Platinum Diva and Zippin Sevenz expected to complete the trifecta. Ehlers notes Peak Earnings’ previous turf performance and a jockey change.
Sweet Cindi Lulu is Ehlers’ pick for the fifth race, followed by Mistysingstheblues and Distorted Louv. He highlights the limited information available on Sweet Cindi Lulu as a potential advantage for favorable odds. Jin Tong is projected to win the seventh race, with Katar and Riverside finishing in second and third, respectively. Jin Tong has a strong record on the dirt surface at Turf Paradise.
In the eighth race, G Dawg is Ehlers’ top selection, with Quebrancho and Blacksod Bay expected to follow. He anticipates a rapid pace will benefit G Dawg. According to VSiN, Daily Racing Form provides comprehensive horse racing news and information for bettors.
