SUNDAY, JULY 26 and MONDAY, JULY 27, 2026

STATS: 9-31 / $34.40 (-$27.60)

Sunday, July 26

Race 2: NW2 races lifetime Pace

(1) LITTLE HAWK is still searching for that next win after graduating from NW1 but drawing the rail ig big because it gives driver Brandon Givens the opportunity to push hard and dissuade any outside leavers. Candidate to wire these. (2) ANGLER HANOVER rode the pocket to runner-up finishes in his last two and may end up in that live stalking position again. 1-2 around the track?

Race 5: Winners of 2-4 races lifetime Pace

(2) TWIN B ALLIANCE took some time off after Harrington ended but is back in a live spot and will offer a much better price than #1; his win two starts back shows the ability is there. (1) DONTENVYME HANOVER will rightfully attract plenty of attention off his winning Ocean debut after arriving from Mohawk Park.

Monday, July 27

Race 9: Open Trot

(6) ALL WRAPPED UP picks up Tony Morgan with the catch drive tonight, has speed and class while not facing the deepest Open field ever; big chance. (4) SEVECHEETAH has been sharp in his last couple and deserves a crack at the top level. (8) TIMESTORM weakened in his last two chasing a fast pace; does have the speed to get in play from the outermost post.

Race 12: NW2501 in last 4 starts Pace

(1) SWORDFROMTHESTONE is the only one in here to have a win over their last five starts, and that was a nice uncovered score in his local debut after arriving from The Maritimes. Figures to be live from the rail. (4) MANACCOUNT left into a pocket from a similar spot last start; veteran just missed the last time Roberts drove. (3) ROSE RUN ZOAR gets needed post relief and had been facing better last month.
