Nocturnal Submission: As always, welcome to the home of the runner-up finish! Constantly on the lookout for horses we can jinx into the bottom half of the perfector, so let’s go to Race 4 at Chas. Town (8:33 p.m. EDT / 5:33 p.m. PDT), where #5 Lacrosse Moon can score at a decent price. …In the third at Presque (6:20 / 3:20), #5 Storm On Bye entices as no higher than the fifth choice on your morning line. …Then in the sixth (7:35 / 4:35), #5 Summer Outing gets the straight-up call. …

Thank you. So long. Best wishes.
