Today’s key Harness Elite horses:

Kissin Backwards — CND Race 1
HER: 908
Tough post, but there may be a price. Maiden race, and the 1 is live from a speed standpoint too.

Sweetloveofmine — MEA Race 13
HER: 889.4
Big class dropper, racing well below where she can win. Off 17 days, but worth a look.

Oh Look Magic — SCD Race 12
HER: 862.4
Six straight dominant efforts. Likely very short, but clearly the horse to beat.

August Salazar — HOP Race 5
HER: 848.2
Four-race win streak. Strong horse, but there are other good ones in here, so maybe the price holds around 3/5 or better.

Just Teasing — MEA Race 4
HER: 818
Dominant closer. Likely short, but dangerous.

Ryder Ross — WBSB Race 6
HER: 812.6
Second start back, good speed, worked hard from the 10-hole last time, and now gets an easier assignment.

For Dayze — HOP Race 11
HER: 808.9
Evidence the horse is ready. Good post, strong qualifier, and trainer does well with class rises and layoff types.

Time To Ryde — SCD Race 11
HER: 807.8
Possible value. Dominant horse gets an easier setup.

Blinded By Delight — WBSB Race 11
HER: 805.5
Good current form and comes in off two straight wins.

Sayinwhatimthinkin — SCD Race 4
HER: 837.5
Pass.

Beautiful Seaside — SCD Race 9
HER: 833.1
Pass.

Grandeur Seelster — PHL Race 11
HER: 814
Second try at this level with slight improvement, but it is a competitive race. More WPS than aggressive win play.

Quick-hit MLB leans:

Diamondbacks at Rockies — Under 11.5

Rangers at Astros — Over 8.5

We ended up yesterday +1.5 u
