Race 1: SNOWSHOE PACING SERIES - 1ST LEG **$100,000 GTD Pick 5**

(1) THE AMAZINGSANDO has some history at Mohawk Park. He debuted at two in a $92K OSS Gold race and he came flying late to grab 2nd at a big price. His recent form isn't terrible and cagey veteran trainer Budd can have one ready to fire first time in his barn. I'll land here in the opener. (8) DRAGON ROARS AGAIN has been facing the toughest local competition and he should be blasting early. He's on my Pick 5 ticket. (4) NOCH TEN couldn't seal the deal in his 2021 opener last week but that race should have him nice and tight for this stakes series and he is another in with a good chance here. (5) YANKEE LITIGATOR should show speed again but he'll need to find more late; using underneath.

Race 2: 5YO and Younger NW2 (F&M4) or $29,500 (F&M $25,000) LT

(6) TRIP SEVENS never saw the pylons for even one stride on 3/1 but it didn't matter as she bravely cut through a very strong headwind in the stretch to get the job done. She would be tough here if she brings that same kind of effort tonight. (7) FLY EAGLE FLY qualified in fast time for this and he fits well exiting NW3 races at Harrah's Philly. (5) TYMAL TAROT was put into play early by Filion last time and he was in perfect position to strike late. He is another that could take this. (8) MODERN MASS should be passing a few late again; using on the bottom.

Race 3: F&M NW $12,500 L5 or NW $25,000 L10 or NW $115,000 LT AE: OPT CLM $25,000

(1) BESTSELLER HANOVER was jammed in until it was too late last week and she had plenty of pace at the wire. She can beat these if she gets better racing luck tonight. (6) SWEET HEAVEN will surely get put into play early here on the class drop and she could be the one to catch coming down the lane; using. (10) TUAPEKA JESSIE N steps up off a win but she could get tripped out by Jamieson who is one of the best navigating the second-tier post; price look. (4) TWIN B TIPSTER drops but this is no easy spot; using on the bottom.

Race 4: F&M CLAIMING HANDICAP $8,000 to $10,000 - Pick 4

(7) PRETTY HOT produced her best effort in many months last week and Jamieson sticks. I'll side with her to turn the tables on (6) PICKLES ON TOP who is sharp but tripped out to win last week. (5) RETURN TO STYLE was first up in that mile and she wasn't far behind the choice at the finish. This race will likely be decided by trip and she isn't out of this. (10) KIWI FOCUS N interestingly raced on back-to-back nights and she showed little the first night and won the next. I see her taking a small share tonight.

Race 5: F&M NW $3,000 L5 or $7,700 L10

(7) KAT hasn't hit the board in her last six starts but she faces much easier here and Christoforou will surely put her into play early vs. these; top call. (1) MY BABY GIRL is also in a much better spot and she should wake up, too; using. (6) SAUBLE DELIGHTFUL has a similar profile as the choice and she's worth a look for the exotics. (5) VILLAGE JAMIE was claimed by the hottest barn on the grounds but this is a tough spot facing class droppers; small share predicted.

Race 6: SNOWSHOE PACING SERIES - 1ST LEG - Pick 5

(2) LYONS LIBERTY just paced a 1:53 1/5 winning mile paced over a track rated two seconds slow. I'd say he's ready for this stakes series. (4) UNIQUE BEACH comes out of some tough races in New Jersey and he looks like the main threat. He's the other one I'll be using on multi-race tickets. (5) MAKE IT COME TRUE has paced two good miles since coming back from the break and he should be an exotics factor here. (7) ODDS ON OCALA is capable of better than he showed last week; consider for the bottom of Tri and Super wagers.

Race 7: NW $3,700 L5 or $9,100 L10

(6) GLOIRE DREAM raced much better last week but the winner was too tough. I'll give him a slight nod in a race with a few options. (2) SONOFAMILLIONAIRE responded to the driver change to McClure and he got the job done at a big price. His odds will drop here but he has the look of a contender. (8) FIT BITT was over his head last week and he had the worst post to boot so it was no surprise that he didn't take a check. He is much better at this level and worth a look at a price tonight. (1) HOT WHEELZ hasn’t shown much so far as a four-year-old and I'll take a stand against him tonight.

Race 8: F&M CLAIMING HDCP $15,000 to $18,000 for NW $66,000 LT - Pick 4

(3) ZARCONIA SEELSTER fires home quickly every week and in this short field she has a good chance to mow them all down this time; top call. (5) RED DIRT STAR drops into a claimer for the first time and she should be in the mix this week; using. (1) KICKIN COWGIRL is likely to set up shop up front again and she will have to be caught. (6) HALLSGLENMAVIS goes for a barn known to move one up off the claim. The tote board could provide some clues with this mare.

Race 9: F&M NW $5,200 L5 or $10,000 L10

(5) SPORTY TORI didn't expend much energy in her last two starts when facing better from the 9-hole both times. She drops, moves to one of the best posts and keeps driver McClure and I'll give her the nod over the other class dropper (1) MAJOR LEAGUE N who no doubt will be leading the way and must be caught. (2) FERN HILL BELLA is in solid form and she can sit another nice following trip and land in the Tri. (10) VINES TO HEAVEN is another who should get a nice following trip being that she is leaving behind a mare that is sure to be blasting off the gate; using.

Race 10: SNOWSHOE PACING SERIES - 1ST LEG

(2) BETTORS DONTTELL geared up for this series with a sharp two-move win last week in which he was still accelerating when they hit the wire; call to repeat. (5) BETTOR IN CASH got a good tightener in for this and he figures to be a threat tonight; using. (1) HES SWIFT raced in the pocket the entire mile last week (not 4th and parked at the 3/4 as the past performance line suggests) and was one-paced in the lane. He can take a small share again. (4) LITTLE MANNY can improve enough in this second start over the track to land in the Tri or Super.

Race 11: F&M NW $8,000 L5 or $20,700 L10 or NW $70,000 LT AE: NW7 LT

(5) POSTMODERNISM is clearly sharp right now and post position improvement may be all she needs to take her second win in three starts. (8) LYONS TILT HANOVER should wake up on the class drop tonight and she's on my late multi-race tickets. (3) TEAM KIWI N raced well last week but the winner was too tough on the lead. She is in with a chance here racing from close range. (10) MACH MY KISS was unlucky in defeat at this level two starts back. From a second-tier post tonight, I prefer to use her underneath. (1) LADY ROCKNROLLA A steps up off a win for a hot barn. She can better this prediction if she gets another good trip.
