(4) THONG CONTROL raced decently in a fast mile in leg 1 now he gets off the rail moving to a more favorable post. I think he gets sent here and he is a big threat to lead all the way. (1) TANGO SEELSTER finished just ahead of the choice, and he should be the main threat here; using. (5) UP JOEYS CREDIT is always closing, and he fits well here. He takes more slices than wins but he isn’t impossible in this spot. (7) LETS GET PICKLED tried the front end and he simply went too fast early. I think he reverts to a closing style here. He is in the mix.

Race 2: POP UP SERIES: NW $18,000 IN 2024 (MIN 10 STARTS). AE: N/A $1,400 P/S IN 2024 (MIN 10 STARTS). LEG 1

(7) PALLADIUM HANOVER crushed in the recently concluded Pop Up series consolation and he figures to be the one to catch again here. (2) BETTORBEFLYIN had no shot from post 10 in the Popup series final. He can get a much better trip here. He should be the main threat. (8) BOLT POWER raced much better last week at Grand River, carving some big fractions then sticking around for a share. He is in with a shot tonight. (4) FOREFATHER is inconsistent, but he fits okay here. He should be good for at least a share.

Race 3: 4YO and younger NW $15,000 LT AE: 3YO N/A $1,690 P/S in 2024

(2) FANCY LETTERING was pushed too hard early in the mile last week and she paid the price late. Drawing inside tonight can make the difference; top call. (4) WICKED LEADER was the first leader last week facing much better and she finished evenly in a fast final 1/4. She makes sense here and she will be on my early Pick 5 ticket. (7) MY LAST KISS was motoring late last week in a decent effort, and she is another in with a shot here. (3) MCWICKED MOVE can sit a trip and take a slice in this spot.

Race 4: 2YO colts and geldings Grassroots and Prospect Starters - Pick 4

(3) GRIN AND WIN hasn’t been able to beat tough Blue Bar, but he doesn’t have to face him tonight. I’ll give him a slight nod vs. these. (2) SAUBLE WILSON is on a roll as he seeks his fourth straight win here and he should be the main threat to the choice; using. (6) DOCS BUDDY is 1 for 1 in Grassroots company and he can be a threat here starting from the best post. (4) LOUIE THE GREAT is improving and he should take a slice here.

Race 5: NW $4,000 L5 AE: OPT CLM $25,000 AE: NW $24,250 in 2024 (Min. 10 Starts)

(2) CANTGETUOUTAMYMIND raced much better last time when facing rivals similar to tonight’s and she looks best vs. these; top call. (1) ANN has been facing tougher for several weeks and she shows a 1:51 4/5 win six starts back in a higher class. She is a threat to lead all the way vs. these; using. (7) NO MONEY HONEY has been racing great vs. conditioned claimers but these are tougher, and a small share is likely for her this week. (6) THE TURNING POINT can improve with Lasix here and she’s worth using in the exotics.

Race 6: POP UP SERIES: NW $18,000 IN 2024 (MIN 10 STARTS). AE: N/A $1,400 P/S IN 2024 (MIN 10 STARTS). LEG 1 - Pick 5

(7) YOU CAN HAVE IT ALL took a new lifetime mark racing off the Auciello claim and he looks good to repeat here. (1) CONTROL THE POWER has a good chance to make front in this spot and that makes him dangerous; using. (8) PIPEWRENCH CHARLIE comes in fresh, and he fits well vs. these. He should be ready to fire, and he is the other one that I’ll use on multi-race tickets. (5) TYPHOON STRIDE N had a tough trip last time and he still got a share. He is in the exotics mix here.

Race 7: F&M NW $10,750 L5 AE: NW $30,000 in 2024 - Pick 4

(6) BLINDED BY DELIGHT is sharp as seen by the 53 2/5 back 1/2 that she paced last week. The short field should help her tonight; top call. (7) GLENBORO was better last week, and she has a good chance of blasting to the front vs. these. She will likely be the one to catch. (3) ONE LAST WISH got hammered on the driver change to Roy and she converted. She steps up but this isn’t a loaded field. A repeat score is possible. (1) FIRSTOFANERA, who raced first-over last week, will likely sit and rally late this time and she is in the exotics mix.

Race 8: NW $18,000 in 2024 AE: N/A $1,480 P/S in 2024

(1) SPORTSLINE raced first up against class dropping Hungry Man last week and that wasn’t going to work. Starting from the rail tonight, he should be able to pick up some cover and I’ll call him to upset. (6) DELIGHTFUL LEADER took a new life’s mark last week, but it was aided by a perfect trip watching a destructive speed duel in front of him then pouncing late. He is capable of repeating, but he might get over bet tonight. (3) HARRY G races better when he deploys a closing style, and he will likely come on late for a share here. (7) COME ON ARTIE got hung out to dry in the Pop Up series. He can get a share here if he can work out a better trip.

Race 9: FILLIES & MARES PREFERRED HANDICAP. PP #1-4 DRAWN. PP#5 & 6 DRAWN. PP#7 & 8 DRAWN

(5) SYLVIA HANOVER was victimized by a 30 1/5 second 1/4 last week and she figures to get a quicker pace to stalk tonight; slight nod. (8) SILVER LABEL seems to race better when her races are spaced out and she missed a week so she should be good here. She will likely be the one to catch. (7) TELLS ON A ROLL will likely get the same pocket trip that she got two starts back when she beat Silver Label. She is having a great season, and she is hard to toss. (6) PROHIBITION LEGAL will be closing as always and she should be part of the Tri or Super.

Race 10: F&M 5YO and younger NW3 or $58,500 LT AE: Grassroots Starters

(3) SINGINGINTHERAIN gets back to a 7-day rotation after missing three weeks between starts and getting nailed last week. She’s the one to beat here and she could get a great trip following speedy (6) GREATEST PLEASURE, who adds Lasix here. (1) KELLENA DIAMOND raced great off the Auciello claim, and she can take another share here. (5) MAKE OUT WITH ME missed some time but she has a great closing kick, and she can pass a few of these late to land in the exotics. (10) BETTERWITHGLASSES tripped out to beat the choice last week. I don’t see her repeating from post 10 tonight.
