Race 1

(6) WINDSONGMAGNIFIQUE turned things around in a hurry last week in her first start in Auciello’s barn, pacing to a new life’s mark; call to repeat. (3) SELLING THE DREAM is capable of much better than she showed last week. Moving inside gives her a chance at the upset. (5) ART ANGEL BABY is an infrequent winner, but Cullen gets along well with her and usually gets a check when he drives. (1) STYLISH BEACHWHERE can compete here, likely passing some of these down the lane.

Race 2

(3) TRUE BLUE STRIDE keeps firing off quick final quarters. One of these times he will roll by them all late. Maybe tonight’s the night. (5) ITS HUW YOU KNOW should be a speed threat dropping a few classes here, but he may be over bet in the win pool. (4) STREAMSONG was right there on the wire last time with two classy veterans. He fits here and isn’t out of this. (1) MANOFMANYIMAGES faces much easier here and moves inside. He is in with a decent chance, but he too could be over bet to win.

Race 3

(1) HANNELORE HANOVER is tons the best vs. these and she should convert at a very short price. (2) EMOTICON HANOVER should be well-prepped to produce a good effort here and can complete the exacta. (7) RENEGADE MAGIC has been very good all year so far. She will likely find the top two choices too tough here, though. (4) OHO DIAMOND comes off a sharp win but now steps back into the lion’s den; smaller share predicted.

Race 4

(4) TWOMACSONEMACH dominated lesser at Flamboro on Monday, but he gets Roy back here and he could get a great stalking trip; slight nod. (6) MAGNUM J faces much easier. He is a logical contender and a multi-race must-use for me. (5) WINDSONG LIGHTNING moves to the middle of the gate which gives him a chance to improve sharply off his season opening effort last week. (1) MAJOR HILL has raced well in both starts for Auciello since being claimed and he could trip-out near the front here; beware.

Race 5

(4) SEVEN AND SEVEN equalled his life’s mark in his May 29th qualifier. If he gets a reasonable trip, he can start his sophomore campaign off with a win. (5) GUARDIAN ANGEL AS trotted a pair of 27 1/5 quarters to start and finish his winning effort at Vernon. He is razor-sharp and a big threat here. (7) SOUTHWIND WOODY has been racing against some tough ones recently and he is worth a long look in this field. (2) JAKE is one of the big local hopes who is capable of beating this prediction, but he needs to find more speed at the end of his mile to contend.

Race 6

(1) BROADWAY DONNA gets a slight nod here back in with her own gender, but she should get a stern test from the fast and classy (2) CAPRICE HILL and the consistent veteran (5) CHARMED LIFE. The best strategy for this race may be to use all three in the Pick 4, then sit back and enjoy watching some top trotting mares slug it out. (4) FLOWERS N SONGS has won here at a big price in the past. If you are looking for a flyer at high odds, she is worth a small swing.

Race 7

(3) WIGGLE IT J has been on fire the past month and she will be tough coming off a lifetime best first-up score. (8) EXHILIRATED has also caught fire recently and she will no doubt be motoring late here; using. (6) SAYITALL BB will deservedly take plenty of action here, but she is far from a lock with the top two very sharp choices in against her. (4) REQUEST FOR PAROLE drops from the top class and is another that could get the job done with the right trip.

Race 8

(5) ENTERPRISE – an unbeaten Hambletonian hopeful – stands a good chance to keep things rolling here in his first start outside of the U.S. (7) DANCER HALL has been impressive his entire career and he could be up to this test. Don’t leave him out of the Pick 4. (1) SHAKE IT OFF LINDY sports some strong final quarters in his qualifiers. He could trip-out here with so much early speed signed on outside of him; using. (6) AWOL HANOVER will need to step up his game vs. these. It appears that a smaller share is likely this time for him.

Race 9

(3) SHEZAREALDEAL drops and gets Roy back. She should be prominent on or near the lead here. (2) DAZZLING ROCKETTE should stand a much better chance moving off post 10 and could be a great price; using. (1) REGAL LUCK is sharp and the inside post has been playing better for quick leavers lately; using. (5) WHISTYS PARADISE should be passing many of these to take a share.

Race 10

(1) WINDSUN REVENGE has obviously reached peak form again, judging by his lifetime best score last week. He will be tough to beat facing mostly the same rivals. (4) IL SOGNO DREAM showed nothing when starting from the outside last week. Moving to a better post gives him a chance to wake up with a better effort and he will likely leave much faster this time. (6) MISTER HERBIE prevailed vs. easier two weeks ago, but his class could carry him to a share here racing in the top condition. (7) OLYMPIC SON got wobbly very late in the mile and was picked off last time. He retains McNair and can take a smaller share racing from close range.

Race 11

(8) JIMMY BE GOOD was on too much slowly-advancing cover last time yet he still almost got the job done. He should be a square price here; slight nod. (3) CHAMPAGNE PHIL was used hard in a quick mile and he still wasn’t beaten that far. He should be the one to beat here; using. (5) BEAST MODE comes back quickly following a blowout win on Monday night. He can’t be tossed considering how powerfully he won then. (4) MACHAL JORDAN is typically good for a small slice racing at this level.

Race 12

(6) LIGHTS GO OUT gets a good post to work from here dropping in class. Expect an aggressive try this time. (1) CASE DISMISSED was too far back last time. She should be closer early starting from the inside here, which gives her a decent chance. (5) BIG TSUNAMI can be much closer early in the mile here starting from a better post; using. (2) ONYOURMARKNATAVA should get a decent trip here starting from the inside. She can take a share. (7) J HIGH has been racing well the past three starts. She is another that should close late for a small piece.
