AE: OS 3YO NW $65,000 LIFETIME TO DRAW OUTSIDE **Gtd. $100,000 Pick 5** (9) PASTA DELIGHT broke and still won at this level last week and she gets the call to repeat off that impressive mile. (8) BETTERWITHGLASSES raced against the best sophomore pacing filly on the continent last week. She can improve sharply here at a price; using. (1) MAKE OUT WITH ME was a closing 2nd to the choice and she could turn the tables here with her improving form. (6) WICKED LEADER hits the ticket most weeks. She is a good one to use on the bottom. [DRF HARNESS: Get Harness Eye PPs for this card] Race 2: DREAM MAKER: 2 YEAR OLD OPEN PACE. LEG 1 (1) LITE UP THE WORLD is about four seconds faster than his four rivals here. He might go off at 1 to 9 and I can’t find a way to get him beat. Debutant (5) REIGNING CAPTAIN is the only one in here that wasn’t trounced by the choice so I’ll try him for 2nd. (4) AYEAYE CAPTAIN DEO produced a nice wide rally to get 3rd behind the choice. He should be part of the Tri again. (3) TWIN B COURAGEOUS can round out the Super. [DRF BETS: Wager on tonight's Mohawk Park card at DRF Bets.com!] Race 3: FILLIES & MARES, NW $4,000 L5 AE: OPT. CLM. $25,000. AE: NW 1 IN 2024 (MIN 15 STARTS). AE: NW $16,250 IN 2024 (6) CANTGETUOUTAMYMIND qualified faster on July 19th than tonight’s rivals have been pacing for purses. She adds Lasix for this race and aggressive teamster Thiessen won’t be afraid to send her; top call. (7) ONE LAST WISH had a start back, now she drops and gets Roy in the bike. She will likely take plenty of action here and she would be no surprise. (1) LADY GET LUCKY is 0 for 13 this year but she flew home last week in her best effort in a while and she is worth a look for the Pick 5 at a price. (4) TWIN B TIPSTER raced well at this level last week and she can close for another share here. Race 4: 2 YEAR OLDS: NW 1 RACE OR $8,000 LIFETIME - Pick 4 $240K Lexington yearling (9) GRAND RESERVE finds a good spot to start her career for top connections and she will likely drop several seconds off her sharp qualifier win; top call. (5) TEN should improve here dropping out of the Millard Farms series and I think he gets a more aggressive steer this time from Roy. He might be the one to catch. The choice’s stablemate (2) POPPIN BOTTLES cost $170K in Lexington and in his July 19th qualifier he was 2nd to a more experienced rival who is already Grand Circuit placed. He could do on debut here and he is another possibility for multi-race tickets. (8) FORTUNES FAVOR broke in his debut when bet down to 2 to 1. He can contend for a share with McNair in the bike tonight. Race 5: 2 YEAR OLD FILLIES: NW 1 RACE OR $8,000 LIFETIME (3) AVA SEELSTER’s debut was good then she broke at Kawartha Downs. She may lead these all the way if she behaves tonight; top call. (6) MACAPELO SEELSTER has been finishing well in Golds and she should improve sharply dropping to face maidens tonight. She will likely be the one to fend off late. $55,000 Lexington purchase (9) SASSAFRAS flashed home in 27 2/5 on 7/16. She is saddled with a bad post for this debut, but she is probably fast enough if she gets put into the race. (4) CHILLINONTHEBEACH is another that drops from the Golds that is possible in an interesting betting race. Race 6: 2 YEAR OLD FILLIES: PROSPECT SERIES STARTERS IN 2024 - Pick 5 (6) FUNNY BUSINESS shows the fastest final 1/4 paced in her decent debut race and she will likely offer some value here. I’ll take a price stab with her to kick off the late Pick 5. (8) ALLSTAR FIREAWAY produced a big first up effort to win her debut now she gets Macdonald in the bike. She is an obvious threat that is hard to leave off multi-race tickets. (7) CENTURY LUNAR is unbeaten in two qualifiers and her pari-mutuel debut. She has shown a nose for the wire, and she is another in with a decent chance here. (3) STELLRMANIPULATION probably takes another share off a following trip in this spot. Race 7: FILLIES & MARES, 4 YEAR OLDS & YOUNGER NW $15,000 LIFETIME - Pick 4 (8) SINGINGINTHERAIN likely needs only to replicate her July 19th qualifier to beat these. With few leavers in here, I expect her to blast and lead all the way. (2) RAFFLE WINNER is 0 for 13 but she is racing well and she can be an Exacta factor here passing some rivals late. (6) HALVA HANOVER will likely sit a trip racing close to the front and stick around for a share. (3) DEFININGTHE MOMENT will probably be in the exotics mix if she stays flat tonight. Race 8: 2 YEAR OLD COLTS & GELDINGS: NW 1 RACE OR $8,000 LIFETIME $125K Lexington buy (7) SOUTHWIND JUDGE is a full brother to two that earned more than $248K and Steacy sends the young ones ready. He has a big shot in this debut race. (4) ARSON SEELSTER tried a first up move in a Grassroots race and that didn’t work trying to close into a 28-flat kicker. I think he gets sent on a speed mission tonight and he could get brave on the front end; using. (8) GRIN AND WIN has two good Prospect Series starts under his belt and he should be in the exotics mix again here. (2) STRONGMAN HANOVER improved in his second start and he will likely lay close enough to be able to come on late for a small share this time. [DRF HARNESS: Sign up for our FREE DRF Harness Digest Newsletter] Race 9: FILLIES & MARES NW 2 RACES OR $30,000 LIFETIME (6) VANJIE BLUE CHIP was the first leader, got overtaken by two rivals and shuffled then she lacked room until she reached the tote board and that was too late. She finished full of trot and she will be a single for me in this spot. (1) P L RACHEL improved last time racing against Grassrooters. She can be an Exacta factor again in this spot. (9) TWIN B FLING is another that closed well in that spot and she can be an exotics factor tonight. (4) RESOLUTE LADY is in easier here and she can improve enough to land in the Tri or Super.  Race 10: FILLIES & MARES, NW $8,000 L5 OR NW $15,500 L8 AE: OPT. CLM. $50,000. AE: NW $75,000 LIFETIME. AE: N/A 1,435 P/S IN 2023-24 (3) SETTN A PRECEDENT makes her second start back off a vet scratch and she was a winner last time she took a similar class drop to tonight’s. I’ll side with her over the other droppers. (5) SHOOT THE WHISKEY also won last time she raced this low and she will likely get a more aggressive steer in this spot; using. (2) FIRSTOFANERA tripped out and took a new life’s mark racing off the Auciello claim. She is in tougher here but she should be good for a share. (4) BATTLE WITH DESIRE has excelled racing in Tackoor’s barn and she should be in the exotics mix here. (6) BONITAS BEST BET can close for a share in this spot. She is worth using underneath at a price.
