Race 1: Popup Series 1st Leg F&M N/A $1,000/Start in 2021-2022 **Guaranteed $100,000 Pick 5**

(4) NAUGHTY LADY B faces much easier in this spot and she should get put into play early by Henry; top call. (2) INNOCENT KISS raced okay in a similar series now she picks up Macdonald and gets a good post tonight. I can see her tripping out racing near the front. She should be the main danger to the choice. (1) AMASA ARION should wake up in this spot and she is likely to get a much more aggressive drive from Cullen; using. (6) JMR MACH MEL should pass a few of these late and land in the Tri or Super.

Race 2: F&M 5YO and Younger NW4 or $30,000 LT

(5) WILDCAT STAR got into some traffic trouble last time and she didn't get clearance until it was too late. At that point she was flying, but, she didn't have enough racetrack to catch (6) SIRI BLUE CHIP. This race will likely come down to these two again. (3) COME ROLL WITH ME looked strong beating NW2 and she isn't out of this, but she could be overbet here in this tougher spot. (4) LADY AKILA exits a tougher NW4 and she has upset possibilities in this spot where she figures to improve.

Race 3: NW $3,000 L5 or $8,000 L10

Class droppers should dominate this race led by (6) FINAL CLAIM, who broke in the lane at the exact moment that he found racing room and looked dangerous vs. better last week. (5) REFI who is another dropper, also gets a driver switch back to Henry for this. (2) KAMERAN HANOVER disappointed as chalk last week but he should be in the mix here. I wouldn't be surprised if he blasts right to the front; using. (7) HOLDIN ACES can circle up late for another share in this spot.

Race 4: Claiming $17,500 for NW $78,500 LT - Pick 4

(1) GENERAL LEE was claimed out of a claiming stakes final where he had a no-chance trip. He should have a good shot in here starting from the inside; top call. (3) VIPER closed well racing off the Hyatt claim and he picks up Macdonald now. That driver has a knack for winning races like these where many of the contenders seem evenly-matched on paper. More was expected from (9) TAHUYA BREW racing off the Barrington claim last week. His price will climb now and he could improve here; price look. (8) AMERICAN SNIPER rallied well vs. similar last week and he should take another share here.

Race 5: CLM HDCP $12,000 to $18,000

(1) MISSION THREE lacked room two starts back and he was pounded last week partially off that race and because he was claimed. He was used hard enough early that he paid the price late, but he gets post relief and goes for Auciello off the claim now; top call. (5) SUNNY BO paced a phenomenal winning mile off the claim parked the whole way at Flamboro and he should be a threat here. (7) AIR STRIKE was a winner racing off the Moreau claim but he did steal some cheap fractions. I'm inclined to try to beat him here. (9) ROYAL SHIP should pass a few of these late and take a slice.

Race 6: F&M NW $6,700 L5 or NW $15,500 L10 - Pick 5

(4) POSTMODERNISM got in a blindswitch on the far turn last week when a rival circled around her and she had to wait for room. Eventually she swung widest and finished with interest. A better trip is likely in this short field and she gets the nod. (5) SOMEWHERE NORTH handled easier and she could get a great trip racing near the front this week. She is on my multi-race tickets. (3) SHEMARS LADY HAVOC is worth using in the exotics here on the class drop. (6) MAJOR LEAGUE N likely sets the pace again but I don't see her lasting for more than a small share.

Race 7: CLM HDCP $22,000 to $30,000

(5) LOVEMYROCKINBIRD is the hot horse at this level and he should be tough to beat as he shoots for the threepeat. (6) GOLDINTHEBADLANDS took a shuffle racing against the choice last week and he didn't get any room until the 1/8th pole then he finished well. He can be much closer here; using. (7) ROYAL RENEGADE finished well too to take a share and he should be in the exotics mix tonight. (2) CENTURY GIGALO figures to take a slice moving up to face better tonight.

Race 8: Popup Series 1st Leg F&M N/A $1,000/Start in 2021-2022 - Pick 4

(4) KAYS DELIGHT had a decent comeback race in New Jersey now she moves into Auciello's barn here and finds a good spot; top call. (7) DILLY TARYN comes out of a couple of tough races and she fits much better here. She is in with an upset chance. (1) WHISTYS PARADISE hasn't won in a while but she did pace her back 1/2 in 55 3/5 last week and she is worth a look here. (2) CAYO LOCO raced well in a Popup series at Flamboro and she can sneak into the exotics here.

Race 9: F&M NW $6,700 L5 or NW $15,500 L10

This would typically be an easy spot for (3) IVANA FLYBYE N but she does make her first start since early September. If she is sharp enough, her rivals will be racing for 2nd here. (4) CUSTARD LITE drops back to the level where she won two starts back and she is the logical alternative here. (2) MY BABY GIRL gets needed post relief here and she is worth a look for the exotics here. (1) TUGGINONCREDIT can get another good following trip and land in the Super.

Race 10: F&M Preferred

(1) SWIFT ALLY has been razor-sharp for weeks and she can be the boss here with So Much More sitting out the week. (2) WESTERN WISH moves way up but she comes off a sharp win and she can contend for a good share here. (3) MAJESTIC VIRGIN was likely going to finish 3rd if she didn't break in the stretch last week and she should be part of the exotics tonight. (4) LAURAS LOVE should appear of the scene late for a share.

Race 11: F&M NW $9,000 L5 or $20,000 L8 or NW6 LT AE: OPT CLM $25,000

In a race full of mares that typically deploy closing tactics, (9) ADASHIOUS HANOVER should get a good trip racing on the lead or in the pocket and she gets the nod. (8) SHES NUN BETTOR N ships in and goes for Moreau but she has missed more than a month. Tab the tote for clues here. (3) CHIEFS DREAM GIRL was absolutely flying late last week but she ran out of racetrack. She could be closer early tonight and that gives her a shot. (4) KOUNNIS is another that should be racing close to the front that is in with a chance here. (1) LADY ROCKNROLLA A should sit another following trip and stay for a slice.
