I respect Dutrow's FTS record and his horses certainly have a chance, but I'll probably play against whichever one goes (the 2B looks a little better). Nothing about the Pletchers make me think 3-1 is warranted.
5 is probably the most likely but might be an underlay (if she was dead on the board I'd probably avoid her, too). . . 6 and 7 look like the value.
Race 4 - Tougher race in my opinion. . . I feel forced to use the Pletcher. . . The 2's workout pattern is too light for me - may need the race - and it's tough to get a read on Read the Footnotes (0/3 so far with his starters). I like the 3 better than the 1 out of the two Awesome Agains but I'm not crazy about him. The Iwinski horse has some bullet works but a bad debut trainer. . . Forest Wildcat's a very good debut broodmare sire, though. Who knows what you're getting with Dutrow's horse - dirty if you ask me. . . The 6 looks like a typical sneaky KMc horse with those works. The 7's another tricky one. I'll pass on the 8 and 9.
The verdict: watch the board I guess - which sucks because I'd like to try to link these two races together in a PK3. . .

McLaughlin can win first out be his horses run much better after they run and lose a maiden race. Bafferts filly has no gaps in the works and he ships when he could of ran out west. This one might be a runner.
Sean Avery might be a good horse. Iwinski is getting back in the game after a break to take care of health related issues. He can win with FTS's, the stat listed in the form is misleading. I have a feeling that DutrowJr. has a horse who can sprint.
