Tuesday's Best Bet: Our Sweet Girl preferred at Penn National
Tuesday’s 5th race from Penn National is an optional claiming event for fillies and mares dashing six furlongs on the main track (Post Time 7:49 p.m. EST).
No. 2 OUR SWEET GIRL (9-2) captured three of her last four local dirt sprints, and the clear runner-up from her last was a next-out winner.
No. 5 Beach Banker (3-1) makes her first start in more than seven months for a sharp layoff barn. She likes this course and distance and will probably press the pace.
No. 1 Flattering Ruby (5-2) blew a clear stretch lead in a runner-up finish Nov. 30. The veteran mare used to be win type but has dropped her last seven starts. She is probably the one to catch from the rail.
