Best Bet: Race 6 #6 Lady Of The Castle ($3.80)

Lady Of The Castle carries Dean's highest stake and is currently available at $3.80. With a solid price already available, she shapes as the standout betting option among his two highest-confidence runners.

 

Next Best: Race 4 #1 Lucsain

Lucsain is Dean's other highest-stake selection and provides the first of his two key plays in Race 4. There is no current price available, so the market will be important closer to race time.
