Race 1: F&M NW4 or $63,000 LT **Guaranteed $100,000 Pick 5**
(6) MY ONLY SUNSHINE just beat similar last week and she is perfectly spotted on the gate to work out another good trip racing near the front; call to repeat. (7) LADY AKILA lacked room in the lane and she finished with pace right on the choice's helmet. She could turn the tables tonight with better racing luck. (5) ADASHIOUS HANOVER faced much tougher when she was last seen but that was six weeks ago. She will handle these if she is sharp enough, but what price will you take considering that absence? (8) STATE OF MIND is sharp and she should be closing for a share tonight.

Race 2: FILLIES AND MARES PREFERRED
(2) SO MUCH MORE was starting to get into gear when she got interfered with in the lane last week. Now she faces her own gender where she should rule supreme; top call. (5) SWIFT ALLY has been on a roll and she has won three straight with different trips. Similar to the choice, the only races she fit the past two weeks were against the boys and it looks like her connections elected to sit out. She can be a threat tonight. (3) SNOW SHARK is sharp and she should rally for another share tonight. (4) MAJESTIC VIRGIN should be good for another slice racing near the front throughout.

Race 3: F&M NW $3,000 L5 or $8,100 L10
(3) SPORTY TORI got hammered on the class drop and driver change last week but she didn't get involved early then fell victim to a slow pace. She draws much better here and my gut tells me she will be blasting this week. She can make amends at a better price. (6) CRANBERRY BRIE gets both post and class relief tonight and she should be more prominent from the outset; using. (10) PATRICIA MAE blew up the tote board at this level two starts back then raced first up in an impossible spot chasing an accelerating pace. She could be the spoiler at a big price again. (2) JMR MACH MEL will be closer early here and that gives her a good chance to hit the ticket.
Race 4: NW $3,000 L5 or $8,000 L8 - Pick 4
(9) TEDDYSLITTLEANGEL was raced first up last week and that isn't her trip. Dropping down here, I expect her to be blasting for the front leaving the gate; top call. (7) WISHYOUDTELLME was a winner last time he raced this low and he could sit a nice pocket trip here. He could provide some multi-race value. (1) TEXACO MAN figures to take a share racing close to the front. (2) DREAMEX dropped and popped at Flamboro in his third start for Barrington and he is worth using underneath here.
Race 5: BLIZZARD PACING SERIES FINAL 3 & 4 YEAR OLD FILLIES & MARES
Great betting race here. (6) INTOTHEMYSTIMOON has improved sharply in her past two starts and she should get a solid pace to track here; slight nod. (2) BOTTOMOFTHENINTH is another that is on an upward swing and she can get another good trip here; using. (3) AWESOME HILL had her win skein stopped last week but her best probably takes this and she should offer a better price this week. She's hard to toss. (5) BELINA is a good closer who should land in the Tri or Super.
Race 6: CLM HDCP $12,000 to $18,000 - Pick 5
(4) SPECTRUM SEELSTER closed well when up against it due to a slow early pace and he was claimed by Barrington who can move one up. He looks good in here. (6) AIR STRIKE raced big on the rim when winning and getting claimed by the leading trainer. This isn't the toughest looking claiming handicap and he can be a threat tonight. (7) ROYAL SHIP was sent on a speed mission when claimed and that isn't his best trip. He gets Roy back here and he should be a late presence; using. (3) JUSTA BANDIT can close for another small share in this spot.
Race 7: SNOWSHOE PACING SERIES FINAL 3 & 4 YEAR OLD COLTS & GELDINGS
(4) LINEDRIVE HANOVER dominated in the first two legs of the series and he is unlikely to be stopped here although his price will be very short again. (1) STATE SENATOR raced well at a price again last week and he likely won't get bet here. He offers potential Exacta value. (2) P L OCTAVIUS tries hard every week and he should be in the exotics mix again. (3) SAULSBROOK VICTOR should get a better trip here and he can close for a slice.
Race 8: Claiming $17,500 for NW $80,000 LT - Pick 4
(2) TAHUYA BREW got hung the route when claimed by Barrington. He gets a driver upgrade to Henry and he should have a good chance in this spot. (3) STORMY HALL GB stepped up too far now he is back in a conditioned claimer tonight where he is one of the main contenders. (6) CENTURY GIGALO takes a slice every week and that trend should continue here. (7) MACH LEE made a nice late move to take a slice in the claiming stake final last week. He is a good one to use on the bottom tonight.
Race 9: F&M NW $9,000 L5 or $27,000 L9 or NW $120,000 LT
(7) SUNDAY AFTERNOON is in peak form and she was game in defeat last week, continuing to advance as the pace accelerated. I'll give her the nod here. (3) TOBINS BROWNIE gets both barn and driver changes here and she moves inside for this; price look. (9) WESTERN WISH disappointed at even money when dropped to this level last week, not getting the best trip. I could see a speed blast coming tonight and she is in the mix. (1) CUSTARD LITE was provided with a perfect trip by Macdonald last week and she needed every inch of racetrack to get up and beat easier. I'll use her underneath tonight.

Race 10: F&M NW $9,000 L5 or $27,000 L9 or NW $120,000 LT
Tough race here. (6) LAURAS LOVE finished with pace last week but she was right on the helmet of the winner, pinned in from both sides and she could do no better than get 4th. I'll give her the nod vs. this group tonight. (1) BETTER BE DONNA N was the game winner of that race and she usually strings a few good efforts together when she finds the right class level; using. (7) LYONS TILT HANOVER raced better last week and she is always dangerous if there is a decent flow in her races; using. (8) SMOKE N REACTOR N raced well at a price to get a share and she is worth using underneath again here.
Race 11: F&M NW $6,000 L5 or $14,450 L10
(9) MY BABY GIRL was right there last time she raced this low and I expect Sorrie to put her in the race leaving the gate tonight. Drawing wide helps keep her price viable; top call. (6) KOUNNIS steps up off a loss but that was a strong effort that came after she missed three weeks. She should get more aggressive this time; using. (4) POSTMODERNISM improved as expected last week but she had no answer for the pocket sitter. She can win here with a different trip and her price will be better. (3) TAKEYOURBREATHAWAY dropped and popped now she moves back to a level where she typically takes shares; using underneath. (1) SHES A SASSY BEACH finished willingly along the pylons last week and she should be good for another share here.
