Tuesday's Best Bet: Manolete deserves another chance at Parx
Tuesday’s 9th race from Parx Racing is a starter allowance event for 4-year-olds dashing six and one-half furlongs on the main track (Post Time 4:31 p.m. ET).
#2 MANOLETE (7-2) let me down as my best best top choice March 16. Perhaps the five panel distance was a tad sharp. His other recent sprints in races shorter than seven panels yielded five wins, and he missed by a head when last trying this distance Feb. 24.
#4 Souper Fly Over (5-1) turns back in distance after stalking fast fractions and getting outkicked March 3. He finished in the top three in his last six dirt sprints.
#6 Thousand Percent (6-1) is a sharp early-pressing type with six trifecta finishes in his last seven starts. He should make his presence felt throughout.
#5 Monteleone (3-1) is the favorite but I like him more underneath. The four-time local winner will try to get involved late.
