Race 1: Pop-Up Series Horses and Geldings Leg 2 **Guaranteed $100,000 Pick 5**

(6) SHADOW IN RED dug in late last week to win and it this spot doesn’t look any tougher; call to repeat. (1) PIPEWRENCH CHARLIE makes his third start for Team Cullen and he is the one to fear as he is getting closer; using. (7) DRAGON ENERGY took a share racing against the choice last week and he can hit the board again in this field. (4) LYONS JOHNNYJNR flashed speed and stuck around for a slice and he is in the exotics mix again here

Race 2: F&M 5YO and Younger NW3 or $40,000 LT AE: 4YO to be claimed for $25,000

(4) GOT THE GOLD gets McNair back tonight in a race where the early lead appears to be hers for the taking and she gets top billing here. (2) CRUSHED PEARL was much better in her second start back but she had very little chance trying to come from where she did as the late pace accelerated. She should be closer early tonight and that makes her a threat. (1) BLUEMEA KISS impressed taking a new life's mark and she should be dangerous right back in this short field. I can see any of the top three winning depending on trip and pace. (7) CHELSIS CHOICE figures to make another late charge and land in the Tri or Super.

Race 3: F&M That have started for a purse of $15,000 or less in 1 of L4

(6) CONTROL THE THONG couldn't find a seat in the opening 1/4 and she was forced to drive on last week. Once she made front passing the 1/4 though, she was solid from there and she took a new life's mark. Off that stellar effort, she gets the call to repeat. (5) GOODNIGHT IRENE is 0 for 14 this year, but Dunn tries his hands at the lines tonight and I could see him tripping her out in this spot; using. (9) NIGHTLIFE SEELSTER rode a nice trip to a driving away win last week and she is in the mix again in a spot where she could find another live flow. (3) DARKRSHADEOFPALE N should rally for another share here.

Race 4: F&M NW $2,400 L3 AE: N/A $1,130 P/S in 2021-22 - Pick 4

This looks like a good spot for (8) ITTY BITTY who qualified twice and just looks faster than these; top call. (2) KAT drops and moves inside and she has some appeal for the exotics in this spot. (9) MIA CULPA stacks up well here on paper, but she tends to be trip dependent and I'll use her underneath starting from out there. (4) BIG DIAMOND couldn't stay with a leader that cut fast fractions throughout the mile last week. I can see her taking a slice here.

Race 5: GOODTIMES ELIMINATIONS 3YO

(5) FAST AS THE WIND got a perfect tuneup for this with a narrow loss to classy older millionaire JL Cruze and he gets the nod here. (1) PRETENDER couldn't be any sharper coming into this elim and Gingras is sure to put him in play early; using. (9) SOUTHWIND DOMINO has been visually impressive on the end of his miles prepping for this Grand Circuit race and he is worth using underneath at a price. (3) ESPLOSIONE looked good chasing down the big favorite in an OSS Gold race last time and this improving colt can take a share here.

Race 6: Pop-Up Series Horses and Geldings Leg 2 - Pick 5

Stablemates (3) DON'TPOKETHEDRAGON and (2) HERVEY HANOVER both come in off strong efforts for a barn that has been heating up lately and they could end up fighting it out down the lane for the win. (9) SPRINGBRIDGE JIM tried stalking tactics last week and he couldn't get to the choice late. Speed blast coming now? (8) BAYFIELD BEACH exits a tougher race and he should be able to sneak into the Tri or Super tonight.

Race 7: GOODTIMES ELIMINATIONS 3YO - Pick 4

(1) GIGONDAS showed good speed both early and late in his most recent mile and he lacked room until deep stretch where he then was angled three-wide and finished willingly. He seems to be improving at the perfect time and I'll call him to upset here. Ontario champ (7) TWIN B ARCHIE may have taken too big of a breather in the third 1/4 last time as it seemed to take him a while to rev his engine up in the lane and he was picked off late. He is loaded with class but he may need a career-best mile to win this. (2) LOOKS LIKE MONI is obviously fast enough, having trotted a sub-1:52 mile two starts back and he adds Lasix tonight. He's hard to leave off late multi-race tickets. (4) WORLD AT WAR DEO’s sophomore debut was a good effort from a wide post at Tioga Downs and he figures to make the final of this Grand Circuit race.

Race 8: F&M NW $9,500 L5 or $20,000 L10 AE: OPT CLM $40,000

(6) J M BETONSIX drops and gets reunited with Gingras tonight. I can see her being sent right down the road in this spot. (1) MAJESTIC VIRGIN has only one win this year but she has been racing better lately and she should be dangerous on the class drop tonight; using. (5) DREAM DANCING should be good for a share getting both class and post relief tonight. (4) MY MOTHER PEARL should come with her typical late charge to take a slice.

Race 9: F&M NW $15,000 L5 or $28,000 L10 or NW $120,000 LT W/O $15,000 L5 Drawn Outside

(8) SHES NUN BETTOR N gets class relief tonight and she took a new life's mark two starts back when facing better. She is strictly the one to beat here. (2) IMSHORTANDSWEET N got used up early in a duel last time. Regular driver Roy returns here and she likely sits and rallies this time. (6) PARISIAN BLUE CHIP got a dream setup for her late kick and she made no mistakes. This is tougher and I see her rallying for a small share. (3) JUST DAISY is razor- sharp right now and she probably lands in the exotics again tonight.

Race 10: NW $8,600 L5 or $19,000 L10 AE: NW $90,000

(6) WIND BLOWN comes off a solid effort where he got a good trip but the favored leader was too good. Starting from the best post tonight, he gets the nod. (4) B STONEY had his first start in a month and only fifth in two seasons in that same dash and he raced evenly. If he is ready to produce an effort that is close to his best, he could win tonight. (2) RESPECT OUR FLAG gets both post and class relief tonight and he should take at least a share in this spot. (3) CAPTAIN VIDEO is another dropper that figures for the exotics as he will be passing horses late; using underneath. (5) IDEAL PERCEPTION closed off excess cover for a slice last time and he figures to be part of this High-5.
