for today’s full Matrix, complete race-by-race selections and all of Ciaran’s notes.
RACE 8 EnSIGHT
Frank A: 5, 2
Ciaran: 9, 1, 2, 3, 5, 11
Strongest Consensus: #5 VRONTI and #2 PULP FICTION
-
#5 Vronti (5/2) is one of Frank’s A horses and is also included prominently by Ciaran.
-
#2 Pulp Fiction (12/1) is the most attractive EnSIGHT value horse. Frank gives her an A, while Ciaran likes her closing kick and the Berrios/D’Amato combination.
-
#9 Kentucky Gal (5/1) is Ciaran’s potential single, but Frank places her on his B line. She is the key difference horse.
-
#11 The Mizen Queen (12/1) appears on both men’s deeper tickets and offers another live price possibility.
MARK EnSIGHT:
The 5 and 2 are the strongest shared horses. Use the 9 aggressively because of Ciaran’s conviction, with the 11 as the value backup.
RACE 9 EnSIGHT
Frank A: 3, 1, 6, 8
Ciaran: 1, 6, then 9, 7
Strongest Consensus: #1 CAPTAIN GABE and #6 MAXXANDER
-
#1 Captain Gabe (3/1) is Ciaran’s single and an A for Frank. The major class drop and Ship & Win placement make him today’s clearest shared anchor.
-
#6 Maxxander (5/1) is the strongest backup. Both men see the Gulfstream shipper as dangerous in this aggressive placement.
-
#3 Treximo and #8 Cimarron Strip belong on wider Frank-based tickets.
-
#9 Box of Light (8/1) is Ciaran’s preferred deeper closer if the pace collapses.
MARK EnSIGHT:
#1 Captain Gabe is today’s strongest consensus single.
The backup order is 6, then 3, 8 and 9.
RACE 10 EnSIGHT
Frank A: 9, 8, 4
Ciaran: 6, 3, 4, 9
Strongest Consensus: #9 LYLE THE CROCODILE and #4 YACOWLEF
-
#9 Lyle the Crocodile (4/1) is Frank’s top A and is also included by Ciaran.
-
#4 Yacowlef (5/1) is another important shared selection.
-
#6 Known Idea (8/1) is Ciaran’s top selection and possible single, but Frank does not use him. This is today’s biggest disagreement.
-
#8 Beyond Stoked (8/1) is Frank’s major difference horse and should be protected on wider tickets.
-
#3 Steak Fries is Ciaran’s secondary price alternative.
MARK EnSIGHT:
Build the main ticket around the 9 and 4, but protect the 6 because of Ciaran’s strong conviction and 8/1 morning line. Frank believers should also protect the 8.
