Race 1: F&M NW $2,000 L3 **Gtd. $100,000 Pick 5**

(2) WESTERN WISH dives to the bottom conditioned level and she meets a field she should boss. (5) CHARMBO BRIE has also faced better recently but she has only one 2022 win. She can complete a chalky Exacta to kick off the card. (7) PEGGY J produced a decent late rally in her local debut and she should be in the exotics mix again here. (6) MACH MY KISS has been 4th in both starts with McNair driving and she can land in the bottom of the Super again.

Race 2: F&M 5YO and Younger winners of 2 but not more than 5 or $45,000 LT AE: 3YO and 4YO to be claimed for $50,000

(3) LOCK BRIDGE is a fast sophomore that goes for the leading trainer and attracts the top driver for this local debut. She should be tough vs. these. (6) GIRL SCOUT COOKIE keeps working out the best trips and winning and starting from the best post, that roll might continue here; using. (8) A BLACK DIAMOND is in solid form and she picks up McNair; price look. (7) BAD ROSSA will likely flash speed and stick around for a share.

Race 3: Popup F&M Claiming $8,500 2nd Leg

(3) GOLDEN LEADER dominated one of the divisions of the opening leg and she gets Macdonald now. She should be tough to overhaul here. (7) NORTHERN BELLE also took one of those divisions racing on the engine and McNair will put her into this race early. She could trip out in the choice's pocket; using. (6) E R RHONDA made a big late move into a slowing pace to get the job done and she is sharp having won two in a row. I prefer her on smaller tracks, but she could capitalize if the top two engage in battle. (1) SHES A GUNSLINGER is in the mix every week it seems. I'll use her on the bottom expecting her to trip out and take a slice.

Race 4: F&M 5YO and Younger NW1 or $7,000 LT - Pick 4

(6) FIERY SHADOW produced a big late kick to grab 2nd after starting from the worst post now she draws best. She should graduate as the chalk here. (4) ROSE RUN YANNA won two straight using different racing styles and she figures to be the main danger here. (5) RIBBON RIDGE was raced aggressively when 3rd behind the choice last time and she is another in with a shot here, likely deploying aggressive tactics again. (2) MOLLY MOOSE is worth a look for the bottom of the exotics on debut.

Race 5: Popup F&M Claiming $8,500 2nd Leg

(5) SHEPLAYSFORKEEPS dropped for the opening leg of this series and raced only okay considering she got a perfect trip, but she was claimed by a high % barn. Expecting improvement tonight, I give her top billing. (3) BUTTERCUP WILL got stuck behind non-advancing cover last time when favored and she is capable of winning this if she gets a decent trip; using. (10) SIBONEY beat the choice and got claimed but she loses post position advantage now. I'll use her on the bottom. (7) MISS BRANDI K is in solid form. I can see her closing to grab a slice here.

Race 6: Niagara series for 3YO fillies - Pick 5

(1) QUEEN OF SOUL raced decently in the Harvest series final and I'll give her the nod looking for an alternative to shipper (5) ACRIMONY, who is obviously fastest but arrives with a stale date. (6) J ONE TWENTY fits well here after getting her win streak broken last time and she is another in with a chance. (3) COCKTAIL CAROL should be good for another small slice in this spot.

Race 7: NW $2,550 L3 AE: Starters for a purse of $7,500 or less L3 - Pick 4

Class droppers will likely dominate this race. (4) MR CONTESTANT should be aggressive early and the one to catch with (6) SHES GOT PIZZAZZ trying to chase him down. I'll use both in the multis. (9) HEAVENSDOR HANOVER is another dropper that can be much better in this spot; price look for the exotics. (1) THEE DESPERADO was no match for a strong winner last week. He should be in the exotics mix again.

Race 8: Popup F&M $8,500 Claiming

(5) WAR DIAMOND gets a huge driver change tonight which should mover her up sharply; top call. (4) SOMETHING ROYAL dropped, popped, was claimed, and now gets McNair. She is an obvious threat here. (1) KEEP WATCHING got a tough trip after starting from the second tier in London. She should get a better trip here and take a share. (10) GREYSTONE TREASURE would be rated higher if she drew better. From out there, I'll use her on the bottom.

Race 9: FILLIES and MARES PREFERRED 2

(3) DABARNDAWGSWATCHIN is the boss when she doesn’t have to face So Much More and she should notch a threepeat here. (6) VOELZ DELIGHT cut the mile on a good track but she couldn't repel the choice’s first-over bid. She should be an Exacta factor here. Shipper (1) AHOY is obviously fast enough to contend but she missed some time. I'll use her underneath. (5) NEED TO BREATHE is right there every week and she is hard to leave out of the exotics.

Race 10: F&M NW $6,300 L5 or $14,920 L8 AE: OPT CLM $45,000

(8) JUST DAISY drops and she should pop in this spot, likely leading most of the way. (1) MYSTIFYING is the other dropper in here that should improve sharply; using. (3) TUGGINGONCREDIT races better when she is aggressive and I think McNair sends her tonight; price look. (2) CASIMIR SWAMP GIRL should get a good following trip racing close to the front. She can take a slice. (4) TWIN B TIPSTER will likely close late again to finish on the edges.
