#5 MANTECA - 2-1

Consistent 6 year old has only finished out of the money one time in his career with four (4) wins in seven life starts. Has two (2) wins at today's distance and looks like a solid favorite with top jockey / trainer combination. This horse has recorded a triple digit speed figure last race running on the pace the whole trip and looks like he will be tough to beat. The Trackpro Value Rating (TPV) at a solid 2.50 makes this horse a good key in the late daily double.

#3 FATHER TIM - 3-1

This six (6) year old wired the field at today's distance last race even after being checked at the break. Top trainer (21%) is bringing this horse right back and with strong effort may keep Aqueduct win streak alive at good odds. The TRV rating at 1.40 indicates some wagering value is present here.

#2 STEALTH MISSILE - 9/2

Gelding put in a powerful stretch run last race at the Meadowlands at today's distance. We generally don't bet contenders with a Trackpro Value Rating (TPV) below 1.00 so use underneath in the exotics only.

#1 EAST END TAP - 7/2

Beaten favorite seems to be rounding to form with improved speed rating last race. Has run "wide" last three races but managed to finish in the money twice in last three route events. Again not much wagering value here with the TPV at .84 but we think he may run well enough with field to get into the money.
