Get A Hunch, Bet A Bunch

Let’s take a stab at identifying a couple of this young season’s possible indicator races.

If you liked Shad Roe Dee to win his summer debut on Aug. 27 and we did then Island Diplomat looks like a solid pick in tonight’s fourth. And what about the Aug. 22 dash won by Funnymoney Habit, another horse that wins more than his share? Off that, Angeldrummerboy could win tonight’s third and Miner’s Basin might dominate the fifth.

Golden Rolls takes a scary class drop in the third race. Think twice before taking a very short price.

Here are today’s selections:

FIRST: $5 daily doubles pairing WILLAPA BAY with FSRUNSWITHTHUNDER and TANTRUM ($10).

THIRD: $10 to win on ANGELDRUMMERBOY and a $1 Pick 3 on races 3-4-5.

FOURTH: $20 to win on ISLAND DIPLOMAT and a $5 exacta pairing him with C.BLEND TWO.

FIFTH: $10 to win on MINER’S BASIN. Parlay any winnings to GOLDEN ANEJO in sixth.

EIGHTH: $1 trifecta box of KLASI RENEE, PROSPEROUS SMILE, OUR AMERICAN and WINNING PACE ($24).

Original bankroll: $2,000.

Friday’s result: $.

Present bankroll: $2,063.70.
