Here are my selections for Friday. These are not meant to be in exact order, but merely the four horses I think have the best chance to win. For beginners, I suggest exacta boxes with three horses, using two of mine and one of your own. And you can always pick up a copy of Acing Racing 2016 to learn everything you need to know. (These are the picks and format that are available on the free tip sheet at SHRP).

FIRST
1-2-9-7
SLUFFYS GIZMO heads an intriguing entry

SECOND
3-7-5-2
TRUE WISDOM flashed speed going longer for strong connections

THIRD
2-8-5-4
CHASE FOR THE GOLD ripped off a nice maiden win in last and could repeat

FOURTH
7-1-3-4
RARE POPPY has been a money burner of late but is in a good spot

FIFTH
2-6-7-1
LITTLE SNIP has been facing tough customers and fits well here

SIXTH
8-1-6-4
ARCH VALUE freaked in last; similar effort probably takes this

SEVENTH
6-4-5-2
SARGE'S DAUGHTER caught a tough group in last and should be prominent early

EIGHTH
8-3-5-9
PURELY BOY likely needed last and could pop at a price
