The penultimate week of racing at Churchill Downs overlaps with the opening weekend at Fair Grounds. There are stakes aplenty at both venues with a pair of Grade 3 races in Louisville and a slate of state-bred stakes in the Bayou.

Opportunities abound at Aqueduct and Del Mar as well, but it is Fair Grounds that attracts our attention. Mike Shutty’s Super Screener has identified the J. V. Morreale Memorial Stakes, Saturday’s eighth race at Fair Grounds, as a potential play.

It is one of four stakes on the ten-race card, and with ten entered and a lukewarm 7-2 morning line favorite in Allnight Moonlight, there should be opportunity here with a strong opinion. Shutty has just that.

“Benoit will be in that ideal pressing position on a surface that rewards early speed despite the long stretch,” Shutty writes. “This horse is getting really good at the right time, producing his three best performances i his last three starts. The final figure produced in the race three back is severely understated thanks to the glacial pace that defined that race. In his last start, he showed the best balance of any previous start, which is a bullish signal for an even better performance to come here.”

Each race in Super Screener includes Top Win Contender, Most Reliable Board Hitter, Top Value and Top Longshot designations with written analysis and wagering strategy.
