Hammersly: Woodbine mandatory payout Jackpot Hi-5 play for Saturday, Aug. 8, 2020

Woodbine will offer a mandatory payout on its Jackpot Hi-5 wager on the final race of its Saturday card. The carryover, which has been growing since June 21, currently sits at $268,052. The wager has a 20-cent base.

MARJORIE’S DREAM (#3) and also-eligible CITY FASHION (#13) look key to race 10. Marjorie’s Dream did little in her debut here June 14 but was strong in start No. 2. City Fashion has worked splendidly for her debut for a trainer who has strong debut-win numbers.

Should City Fashion not get in, I’d substitute WORDS OF GOLD (#5).

If City Fashion does get in, Words of Gold is still key for one of the supporting slots. She was dull here June 27 but is capable of better, gets the most important drop in the game, and adds blinkers.

SWEET BON BON (#1), who’s worked well of late; WIDE AWAKE (#4), who ran well last fall, drops, and has worked well; and LINDA LOVES LACE (#11), who showed talent in first two starts.

The ticket: 3,13 over 1,3,4,5,11,13 over 1,3,4,5,11,13 over 1,3,4,5,11,13 over 1,3,4,5,11,13
Total cost: $48
