Race 1: ONTARIO SIRES STAKES GRASSROOTS 3YO COLTS and GELDINGS **GTD $75,000 Pick 5**

(6) SUNSHINE LIST is racing best of these right now and he should take beating in this spot. (1) BETTORBUCKLEUP was kept sharp between Grassroots starts and he should be the main rival. (5) MESSIER SEELSTER ships in from the Maritimes in good form and you have to think that Dr. Moore will move him up; using. (7) DELIGHTFUL TERROR gets away from the fast and talented Indictable Hanover which should see him move forward in this spot. He is another in with a shot here.

Race 2: ONTARIO SIRES STAKES GRASSROOTS 3YO COLTS and GELDINGS

(2) TWIN B FRENCHTOAST is hard to go past here showing three straight sub-1:50 miles. He gets top call. (6) TRUFFLE DOG couldn't seal the deal when cutting the mile but he is capable of a wicked late brush when he races off a helmet which is the probable strategy here; Exacta factor. (1) MAXIM MISER gets a notable driver change here from the trainer to a catch-driver and he should be in the mix for a share. (7) CUTTING CLASS is consistently around the money but these are tougher and I'll use him on the bottom.

Race 3: Claiming $8,000

(3) DOVUTO HANOVER was dead game last week in a sharp performance and this spot might be easier; call to repeat. (6) UNPRECEDENTED was forced to take the overland route when facing the choice last time. He should improve here and contend for a good share. (8) CHOREOGRAPHER's race last week when facing the choice was decent and he's on my Tri tickets. (9) MYBROTHERGEORGE will be rallying from the back of the pack again and he may sneak into the Super at a price.

Race 4: ONTARIO SIRES STAKES GRASSROOTS 3YO COLTS and GELDINGS - Pick 4

(4) THE WILD CARD was kept sharp for this in a July 17th conditioned race now it's go time; top call. (7) MISSION BAY raced tough against the choice last time and he can turn the table with a better trip. (9) CAPTIVATE HANOVER will be rallying again and if the late pace slows, he can pass them all. (1) NEED AROCKET looks next best and I'll use him on the bottom of the Tri and Super.

Race 5: F&M NW $6,000 L5 or $13,000 L10 AE: OPT CLM $18,000

(7) SO LONG DARLING hasn't raced this low in a while and this isn't even the toughest NW $6K L5 that you'll see. She should be tough in here. (3) THIS DRAGON ROCKS is capable of better and perhaps she will show it with her nose on the gate this time. I'll use her as a multi-race price option. (6) LA ALWAYS A MARTINI left then took a shuffle in a decent effort at this class last time and she should be a factor for the Tri and Super. (10) NAUGHTY LADY B is a good one to use on the bottom of the Super at a price here.

Race 6: ONTARIO SIRES STAKES GRASSROOTS 3YO COLTS and GELDINGS - Pick 5

(5) BETTOR AT HIGHTIDE has been close in two tough conditioned races since his last Grassroots start and he looks best here. (6) SPORTS OBSESSION exits some very tough spots and you’d think he is sure to wake up facing much easier here. (7) RESOUNDING should be passing some of these in the back 1/2 and I'll use him underneath in the Tri and Super. (2) WATCH AVE should get a nice inside following trip here and take a small slice.

Race 7: F&M NW $12,500 L5 or $25,500 L10 or NW $105,000 LT

(7) IVANA FLYBYE N looks well-prepped for this North American debut and she lands in a spot where she can do some damage; top call. (4) DONT STOP BELIEVIN steps up off a sharp winning effort where she took a new life's mark and she should be the main rival to the choice. (3) TWIN B TIPSTER gets post relief here which should lead to better positioning early and an in-the-money finish. (1) SPORTS FLIX fits decently here and she should be an exotics factor.

Race 8: ONTARIO SIRES STAKES GRASSROOTS 3YO COLTS and GELDINGS - Pick 4

(9) DAY DELIGHT's best race came in Grassroots action and he should bring a good price from post 9 so I'll land here. (3) HEART ON MY SLEEVE was also good in a Grassroots race recently and I'll use him in this late Pick 4. (4) COLD CREEK CABO has been in the mix the past couple of starts and he gets Jamieson to drive here; consider for the exotics. (8) CHOIR MASTER has strung together several 4th place finishes in a row. Use him on the bottom of the Super.

Race 9: ONTARIO SIRES STAKES GRASSROOTS 3YO COLTS and GELDINGS

(4) MAYHEM HANOVER should appreciate facing Grassroots competition here and he should be tough to beat if he gets a reasonable trip. (8) YS MATHIS shows one really good race and it was in his lone Grassroots start, so I think you have to use him here. (6) SOLID MAN is interesting for the Tri showing a 26 flat final 1/4 in his most recent start. (1) SUNDOWN KID is improving but I prefer to use him underneath in this spot.

Race 10: F&M NW $12,500 L5 or $25,500 L10 or NW $105,000 LT

(6) HELLO LOVE usually gets driven more aggressively at these levels and that's what I expect to see here from this good draw. (4) SPORTY TORI is also in a better spot here and she should be heard from. I'll toss her on multi-race tickets. (2) VILLAGE JOULES has been using her good early speed to take shares recently and that should continue here. (1) BETTER SINGLE can rally against these and work her way into the Super.

Race 11: F&M NW $16,000 L5 or $36,000 L10 or NW $110,000 LT or OPT CLM $35,000

(2) COUSIN MARY won at this level two starts back and she almost never gets bet. I'll land here looking for value in a contentious race. (1) SLY ELEANOR N takes the class plunge here and she should be heard from starting from the inside. (4) BESTSELLER HANOVER exits a fast race where she did a lot of the work and she should be considered here. (5) MAJOR LEAGUE N is tough racing on the engine but I'm not sure she'll get left alone for long with so many class droppers in thus race; using underneath. (10) PARISIAN BLUE CHIP should pass some of these in the back 1/2 and come on to land in the High-5.
