Race 1: NW3 (F&M5) or $40,000 (F&M $50,000) LT **Guaranteed $100,000 Pick 5**

(5) MYCROWNMYKINGDOM’s form has improved at four years old and he beat many of these last week. He will need to handle (7) TIE ONE ON, who comes off a fast NW2 victory, but he should be up to it. The latter improved with the addition of Lasix and she figures to be the main threat here. (4) VALI HANOVER gets Roy in the bike for this second start for Moreau and he has licence to improve tonight. He is another possibility for the early Pick 5. (1) WICKENBURGH is likely to take another small share starting from the inside.

Race 2: F&M 5YO and Younger NW4 or $50,000 LT AE: 4YO to be claimed for $40,000

(3) LOVE THAT SMILE was absolutely airborne late in her qualifier and if there was more racetrack available, she might have caught last year's top two-year-old filly. She can beat older mares here if she gets put into the race early enough. (4) GOT SEXY SCARS has been right there in both starts at this level and she will likely look to control the race again on the engine. She's the one to beat. (7) EMMY LOU HAYES has been right there at this level several times and she should get another good trip racing near the front tonight. She is in the exotics mix. (1) BEST KEEPSAKE is helped by the short field here. She should be part of the Tri or Super.

Race 3: SBOA Elimination 3YO Colt and Gelding Trot

(4) STAR POWER HANOVER caught my eye in his qualifier on 5/6, finishing full of trot but he was in an impossible spot. I'll call him to upset here. (6) TWIN B ARCHIE, OSS Superfinal champion of 2021, was the winner of that qualifier and he is the obvious one to beat here. (5) TYMAL TIGGS trotted a huge trip uncovered a long way and he wore down the favorite last week. He should be in the exotics mix here. (3) CENTURY INVADER also trotted a big mile in defeat that night and he should contend for at least a share here.

Race 4: SBOA Elimination 3YO Colt and Gelding Pace - Pick 4

(5) BOB LOBLAW probably got exactly what he needed from his prep for this, pacing a 53 3/5 back 1/2 to get sharp. A much more aggressive steer is expected tonight; top call. (2) DYNOMITES PEAK has had three starts getting ready for stakes season and he should be razor-sharp for this. It would be no surprise to see him vault past the leaders late. (9) CHUCKY HANOVER impressed when he made two moves to win the Spring series final, including an early three-wide move on the last turn. He isn't out of this, but these are tougher. (8) RON flew up the pylons late to keep his win streak alive in his seasonal debut and he should offer another square price here if you are sticking with him. I prefer to use him underneath vs. these.

Race 5: F&M that have started for a purse of $12,000 or less in 1 of L4 AE: OPT CLM $25,000

(5) TWIN B TIPSTER was close twice vs. better now she drops to a logical spot and draws perfectly; top call. (3) CENTURY GEORGIA was a dead-game winner when claimed now she goes for the top barn with the leading driver in the bike; using. (7) DARKRSHADEOFPALE N was a 54 to 1 blur in the lane last week as she scorched past the leaders to notch the upset. She's hard to toss off that mile. (2) GOODNIGHT IRENE had a tough first up trip last week. I can see her sitting and rallying for a share tonight.

Race 6: SBOA Elimination 3YO Colt and Gelding Trot - Pick 5

There isn't much doubt that (1) DULY RESOLVED is best in here and he should kick off his sophomore campaign with a chalky win. (7) SEA CAN closed nicely in his 2021 debut and he can be an Exacta factor here. (2) RED OVERBACH is worth a look for the exotics switching to the Menary barn for this. (4) IMA STANDUP GUY figures to close for another small slice here.

Race 7: NW $3,000 L5 or $8,400 L8 AE: NW1 in L7

(9) AWORLDLY GOODTIMES gets off the rail for this and he races at a level where he almost won three starts back. I'll side with him expecting an aggressive Henry steer and a square price. (8) LIFE WELL LIVED was good last week but the class-dropping winner couldn't be caught. He should be dangerous again racing from close range. (3) LEVATOR had a decent race last week when he needed a clean line. He gets the leading teamster now and that makes him a threat. (7) VILLEFRANCHE AS was first up last week which isn't her trip. Driver Roy has been hot and he might work out a winning trip for her vs. these; using.

Race 8: SBOA Elimination 3YO Colt and Gelding Pace - Pick 4

(3) MAGICAL ARTHUR likely needed last week's start and he should be the one to beat here with that tightener under his belt; top call. (7) STONEBRIDGE HELIOS is the obvious main threat and his qualifier suggests that he is ready to roll; using. (4) SOUTHWIND PHAROAH had four races in four weeks leading up to this stakes elim and he should be plenty tight. Consider using him underneath at a price. (1) SPORT SECRET was no match for a sharp winner last week but he is an obvious use underneath in this spot.

Race 9: F&M NW $17,000 L5 or $28,000 L8 or NW $115,000 LT AE: OPT CLM $50,000

(2) DREAM DANCING won last time she raced at a similar level and she should be the one to beat leaving from an inside post tonight. (1) EXOTIC DRAGON has a similar profile as the choice and she should be the main threat on the class drop. (6) IMSHORTNSWEET N, stablemate to the choice, beat easier despite having missed a month last week in her first start for Moreau. She could be sharper here and she can take a share despite moving up. (7) SUNDAY AFTERNOON is in solid form and she hasn't missed the board in her last five. She should be in the exotics mix again.

Race 10: F&M NW $9,000 L5 or $26,000 L10 or NW6 LT AE: OPT CLM $35,000

This is a big class drop for (4) HEAVENS SHOWGIRL A who wasn't beaten far by the top mares last week. She should convert at a short price. (1) MY MOTHER PEARL is typically close when she races at this level. She should be passing mares late to take a share. (6) MY ONLY SUNSHINE has been right there in every start for the last month and she should be part of the Tri or Super again. (7) CUSTARD LITE is another dropper who should be in the exotics mix tonight.

Race 11: F&M that started for a purse of $9,000 or less in 1 of L4 AE: OPT CLM $15,000

(9) CONTROL THE THONG improved sharply in her first start in a new barn last week and she almost pulled off an upset. Off that good effort, I'll give her the nod here. (4) SAULSBROOK OLYMPIA was a big favorite in that race but she was too far back and the late pace was too strong. She should be the main threat here. (8) NIGHTLIFE SEELSTER is worth a look for the late Pick 4 adding Lasix in this spot after getting passed by three rivals in the lane last week. (1) DIXIE STAR N steps up off a loss but she is good enough to take a share vs. these. (5) CRANBERRY BRIE is capable of better than she showed last week and she can land in the High-5 tonight.
