Race 1: F&M that have started for a purse of $12K or less in 1 of L4 **Guaranteed $100,000 Pick 5**

(1) SAULSBROOK OLYMPIA faces slightly tougher tonight, but she is razor-sharp and driver Young has been a good partner for her; call to repeat. (5) SPORTY TORI was facing tougher when she last raced over this track and she beat better than these here six starts back. She should be right there tonight. (3) NIGHTLIFE SEELSTER was sent first up last week and that trip didn't work. I expect her to try to wire these and she will be tough if she gets a breather; using. (2) MARZANNK HANOVER gets needed post relief tonight and she can land in the bottom of the exotics.

Race 2: F&M 5YO and Younger NW3 or $31,000 AE: 4YO to be claimed for $25,000

(1) DAY TO PARTY paced a sub-27 third 1/4 in her sophomore debut last week which should have her tight for this start and McNair will likely put her on the point early in the mile; top call. (4) QUEBECQUOISE is sure to improve facing much easier tonight and she will likely be the one that the choice will need to fend off; using. (6) BLUEMEA KISS is another that paced a big third 1/4 uncovered last week. I think she sits and rallies for a share this time. (3) BABY BONITA should improve tonight coming back quicker this time; using underneath.

Race 3: CLM HDCP $12,000 to $18,000

(5) A BOY NAMED SUUZZ comes back quickly after closing belatedly Saturday night and he drops back to the level at which he was claimed two starts back. He draws better too and I'll give him the nod here. (6) FARMERS TAN beat better two starts back and you know Drury will be pointing him to the front on the class drop. He should be tough to overhaul on the engine; using. (2) AIR STRIKE took his life's mark with a blowout win three starts back when he last raced at this level. He should improve here but I wonder if that big effort knocked him off form. I'll use him underneath. (3) ART OF FIRE should close for another small share.

Race 4: F&M NW $6,000 L5 or $14,000 L10 or NW $95,000 LT AE: OPT CLM $25,000 - Pick 4

(2) TUGGINGONCREDIT gets needed class relief and she won last time she raced this low. She projects to get a good trip racing near the front here; top call. (6) BEACH MOMENT was right there just behind tough mare Awesome Hill in the stake on Sunday night at Flamboro and she should be in the mix here, too; using. (8) TRAFALGAR drops and she can beat these if she gets an easier trip than last week when she cut a 55 1/5 opening 1/2. She is hard to leave off multi-race tickets in this spot. (7) CUSTARD LITE should get a share here on the class drop.

Race 5: Horses that have started for a purse of $15,000 or more in 1 of L5

(2) TYMAL RIGGS took a shuffle and re-rallied for a share on Monday night and I'll stick with him here in a spot where he should get more aggressive. (3) HORSE TRADER gets Filion back and his qualifier indicates he is okay after getting distanced in his last pari-mutuel start. He can be a threat tonight. (5) HESOHOT HANOVER was too far back early last time. I can see him rebounding and getting a much better result tonight. (7) HARRY should come with his typical late rally for a small share.

Race 6: F&M 5YO and Younger NW6 or $80,000 LT - Pick 5

(2) SPEAKER NANCY was an easier winner last week than it looks in the program when making her first start out of the Barrington barn and she lowered her lifetime mark by four seconds. Off that sharp win she gets the call to repeat. (3) LOVE THAT SMILE looked tremendous in her May 6th qualifier and she followed it up with a fast win. She should be the main threat here. (6) IN THE MOOD had an impossible trip in the SBOA final, pacing her final 3/4 in 1:21 1/5 to pick up only the smallest check. She is another contender in this small but competitive field. (5) SETTN A PRECEDENT has a tremendous late kick on her best day. I see her rallying for a slice tonight.

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

(2) SAULSBRROK C HORSE paced a sub-55 back 1/2 after leaving from the 10-hole in her sophomore debut and she moves inside now in a spot where she appears to fit well; top call. (4) MOONLIT AFFAIR raced great in her opener then missed a month after a lame scratch. She is probably the best filly in here, but what price would you accept considering the time missed? (6) GIRL PARTY improved in her second start and she did finish ahead of the choice. She is in with a shot here. (3) CHERYLS SHADOW also finished ahead of the choice but she didn't threaten the winner as the even-money chalk. She has had 12 chances to break her maiden and I am inclined to try to beat her.

Race 8: F&M 4YO and Younger NW 2 or $15,000 LT

(5) GOT THE GOLD shoots for a threepeat here and she looked particularly sharp flying down the centre of the track in the lane for the win last week. She won't be 5 to 1 tonight like she was in those two wins, but she should be tough to beat. (1) MOTORBOATIN easily handled maidens in her 2022 debut and she doesn't look out of place in this NW2 field. She can be an Exacta factor. (6) UNITY qualified in a race won by the best three-year-old pacing filly in the land and she finished okay. She should be in the exotics mix tonight. (7) FLO should improve enough facing easier here to land in the Super or Tri.

Race 9: F&M NW $15,000 L5 or $28,500 L8 or NW $110,000 LT AE: NW1 in 2022

(3) IMSHORTNSWEET N beat similar two starts back and she gets top call here on the class drop. (5) SUNDAY AFTERNOON did all the work that night and was nailed by the choice right on the wire. She should be the main threat again. (1) MAJESTIC VIRGIN was 4th in that same race and she didn't get the best trip that night. She is in with a shot here and Drury will probably look to lay closer to the front early. (4) PARISIAN BLUE CHIP is worth a look for the bottom of the exotics tonight.

Race 10: F&M who have started for a purse of $9,000 or less in 1 of L4 AE: OPT CLM $15,000

(7) CONTROL THE THONG has raced well for the Cullens since being claimed without taking a win so far. She is a good fit here and gets the nod to get the job done tonight. (5) SOCIETY JILL ships in from New Jersey in solid form and her sharp gate speed will put her in position early; using. (8) MIA CULPA dropped to this level last week and she took all the money but she couldn't convert. I see her sitting and rallying tonight coming off that failed speed try. (2) BLACK BETTY seems to have gone off form but she should be better tonight getting both post and class relief. Consider using her on the bottom of the exotics. (6) CRANBERRY BRIE regularly finishes on the edges and she can take a small share here.
