(6) LIVIN A SWEET LIFE was a strong second in her career debut and included a sharp middle move. A step forward from a good post makes her a big threat. (5) LAINEY BLU found something in her latest qualifier and was clearly better that morning. Look for her to improve tonight and pass horses late. (8) BRIGHT N SQUIRRELY posted two strong efforts to begin her career at Flamboro. She should only keep improving with more starts under her belt.

Race 2: FILLIES & MARES, NW $12,000 LAST 4 STARTS OR NW $30,000 LAST 8 STARTS. AE: OPT. CLM. $70,000.

(5) HORIZON SEELSTER was pressured from the high draw in her latest but I thought raced well to hold on for a share. Post relief makes her dangerous. (1) CENTURY JAMILA has gotten back into form at this level but continues to be the bridesmaid. (6) ONE LAST WISH should improve in her second start back. She has the versatility to get involved with any trip.

Race 3: 5 YEAR OLDS & YOUNGER, NW 2 (FM 4) RACES OR $20,000 (OS $26,000) LIFETIME.

(2) THE HITMAN HEART sneaks back into a NW2 condition after chasing some wild fractions in his latest. This is an easier group compared to what he has been facing. (10) R HALO got the job done last week with a much-needed confidence booster. She steps up and might have to make multiple moves from the outside post. (6) PATS QUEEN was just even in her latest but draws well and has gate speed to put her in a decent spot.

Race 4: 4 YEAR OLDS & YOUNGER, NW 1 RACE (WINNERS FOR A PURSE OF $9,000 OR LESS 2 RACES) OR $9,000 LIFETIME. NO ALLOWANCES.

(6) SUNSET LOO tracked from up close for the entire mile last week and is a candidate for a similar trip given his post. I would look for another quality finish. (9) HALL OF FEAR flew home in his first career start and picked up a good second place finish. The post doesn’t help, but if he picks up even a couple of positions off the car, he should be in the mix. (5) DONTENVYME HANOVER might fool some on the driver switch, but he did the exact same back away for McNair in his career debut. A different trip could be in the cards.

Race 5: FILLIES & MARES, 4 YEAR OLDS & YOUNGER, NW 1 RACE (WINNERS FOR A PURSE OF $9,000 OR LESS 2 RACES) OR $9,000 LIFETIME. WITH ALLOWANCES. AE: 3 YO NW $1000 L4.

(4) KISSEDBYASTRANGER had something go amiss as she approached three quarters, but got right back into the race after going wide and still got third. She is the horse to beat again, but needs to avoid any mistakes. (5) UNA MOMENTA should benefit against an easier field and is likely to get a forward trip from this post. (1) EMCEE gets a big post switch after rallying for a piece in her seasonal debut. I can see her getting a similar trip and passing horses late.

Race 6: FILLIES & MARES, NW $2,500 LAST 4 STARTS OR NW $7,700 LAST 8 STARTS. AE: OPT. CLM. $20,000. AE: NW $25,000 IN 2026 (MIN 15 STARTS).

(4) MADRID A had a tough trip in her latest but managed to snag the lead for a brief moment before rivals behind her took advantage. I’ll look for her to benefit from a good trip this week. (2) STAG ROYAL didn’t miss by much again and has versatility which should have her in the mix no matter what. (3) PRETTY MISSY MAY just got up after tripping out last week and now gets post relief. She should be in the early mix.

Race 7: NW $1,300 LAST 4 STARTS. AE: N/A $835 P/S IN 2025-2026 (MIN 10 STARTS). AE: OPT. CLM. $12,500.

(9) MY HOLY MOLEY made a good account of himself when splitting horses in the stretch. More urgency is likely from an outside post. (3) TALK SHOW HOST gets key post relief after a trip around the track. Look for him to be more involved this week. (4) GREEN MONSTER showed upside in his latest and isn’t resigned to taking back now due to a better post.

Race 8: FILLIES & MARES, NW $1,700 LAST 4 STARTS. AE: N/A $1,175 P/S IN 2025-26 (MIN 10 STARTS). AE: OPT. CLM. $12,500.

(5) ONLYTHEGOODDIYOUNG really should be fired forward tonight in what is a pretty decent class drop. She is speedy enough to take them all the way. (7) CHEESE PARTY has the kick to pull off an upset at this level, but needs to be positioned correctly. She was too far back last week. (4) WINDSUN CHARLOTTE drops again after a trip around the track from post ten. Look for her to be more involved tonight as well.

Race 9: 4 YEAR OLDS & YOUNGER, NW 1 RACE (WINNERS FOR A PURSE OF $9,000 OR LESS 2 RACES) OR $9,000 LIFETIME. NO ALLOWANCES.

(1) NEVERLEAVEHARLAN is getting better with each start and could work out a nice midpack trip from the rail. (2) SEABOARD took too much pressure in the early stages from the high draw but still held on for a share. He gets major post relief for his second career start. (10) DRIVE FOR SHOW stepped forward last week but might have to make multiple long moves from the high draw.

Race 10: NW $2,500 LAST 4 STARTS OR NW $9,000 LAST 8 STARTS. AE: OPT. CLM. $20,000. AE: N/A $1,525 P/S IN 2025-2026.

(8) LIKE CHAOS got a sharp steer from Richardson again and pulled off another upset. I expect him to be in the mix if he leaves out. (7) MISTER MAGIC hit the ticket again last week and continues his excellent run of consistency. I think he can do so again. (6) P C PETERBILT could loom as the value of this race if he is ready. Louis Roy getting the call tonight makes him more interesting.

Race 11: FILLIES & MARES, NW $6,000 LAST 4 STARTS OR NW $15,500 LAST 8 STARTS. AE: OPT. CLM. $30,000. AE: NW $82,000 LIFETIME.

(6) TWIN B EMPRESS stepped up to this level with a sharp win and now leaves from a post that gives her plenty of options off the car. (2) HIGHLAND DELIGHT gets a big post switch after an extended outside bid that saw her continue to move forward throughout the mile. (7) CC ROCKIN ROSIE paced a strong back half to swoop up and pass most of her rivals. She could get a setup if others blast off and mix it up.
