Bob Ike's Free Pick of the Day for Friday, July 27

Del Mar:
5th race--
#1 EVENING ISLAND (6-1)
Recent Mullins claim comes off a runner-up try going long at BHP and now shortens up to 6 1/2 furlongs from the rail post. He's an effective late-running sprinter, gets some pace in front of him and the barn is deadly first off the claim. Tab in a wide-open contest.

Yesterday's Result: MARY FILDES finished third in 6th race.

Live Longshot: BROADWAY NIKA (8th race)
