Race 1: 4YO and Younger NW1 or $7,000 **Guaranteed $100,000 Pick 5**

Tough race to kick off the Pick 5. (6) CHUCKY HANOVER got the clean line that he needed last week and he kicked home with a sub-28 kicker for the second start in a row. He has some upside so I'll lean to him. (8) AINT HE SPECIAL comes off a win and two starts back he was third to eventual Harvest Series winner Ron. He will likely be chalk and he is the one to beat. (3) D H BOSTON flew home last week for McClure who takes the return drive here. He is in with a shot. (5) DR JOE should be good for a share if he stays flat this week.

Race 2: F&M CLM HDCP $13,000 to $18,000

(6) HALLSGLENSMAVIS went a big trip to win last week and she looks best in this short field. (2) STREKAZANA races off the fresh Auciello claim and he has clicked 19% of the time in these situations this year. Picking up the leading driver won't hurt; using. (4) TUGGINGONCREDIT gets Roy back in the bike tonight and she has won four of eight starts with that teamster holding the lines. She merits a look for the Pick 5 ticket. (3) ERIKAS SHADOW, 2nd to the choice last week, is in good form and she should be in the mix again tonight.

Race 3: NW $13,500 L5 or $26,500 L10 or NW $65,000 LT AE: OPT CLM $35,000

(6) PLUMVILLE PRINCE took a swing at the Breeders Crown now he faces elders here in a spot where he should have a good shot. Picking up McClure is a plus; top call. (2) MEMO tripped out to win last week and he draws well so another good trip here is likely; using. (5) ON THE ROPES can go better here starting from the middle of the gate. He is another Pick 5 possibility. (4) MISTER OF ALL blew up the tote board when he won at this level two starts back and he is worth a price look starting from a good post here.

Race 4: F&M CLM HDCP $8,000 to $12,000 - Pick 4

(8) MOSTLY DALI absolutely jogged at Flamboro Downs Thursday night and this barn has had success bringing hot horses back quickly; top call. (4) WATCH ME DANCE tried it first up last week and that isn't her trip. She should be a threat here racing from close range. (9) MISS ROCKADALI drops and she should be a speed threat here, but she hasn't won a race since August 2020, so I’m not sure I'd take a short price here. (1) ZARCONIA SEELSTER was fancied by many last week but she never really got into the race. I see her closing late for a share here.

Race 5: PREFERRED HANDICAP

(8) HEY LIVVY should only be sharper tonight making her second start back from a break and that spells trouble for her rivals; call to repeat. (7) PERFETTO was held up briefly at the head of the lane last week when a rival that was racing beside him broke stride. That in effect squashed any hopes he had of catching the choice. I'll use him on multi-race tickets here. (2) DREAM NATION is very consistent and I see him landing in the Tri again. (1) ALL WRAPPED UP flew home to win last week. She is worth a look for the bottom of the Super.

Race 6: 4YO and Younger NW 2 or $30,000 LT AE: 3YO NW1 in L9 - Pick 5

(2) CHANTEE set some solid splits and won well in the slop last week. A threepeat looms for this sharp gelding. (3) SILVER MAPLE is the other hot horse and he figures to be the main danger today. (5) CENTURY HANNIBAL fits well here but he has been off a month since contesting the Grassroots final so I'll use him underneath. (6) RAU RU, 2nd to the choice last week, should be good for another share here.

Race 7: NW $8,500 L5 or $18,500 L10 AE: OPT CLM $25,000 - Pick 4

(7) WHITE TIGER gets James Macdonald back here and he gets some class relief, too. A more aggressive drive is expected and he gets the nod. (9) DERF HANOVER also drops and he should be blasting from his wide post. He is a threat to lead all the way. (4) NEVER MIND N fits better here and he is the third one that I'll use on multi-race tickets. (6) O NARUTAC PERFETTO won as expected last week but in this tougher spot, I'll use him underneath.

Race 8: F&M CLM $15,000 for NW $50,000 LT

(6) KAYLIES REAL goes from a handicap to conditioned claimers here and she picks up Henry to drive. Her qualifier on 10/29 indicates all is okay and she gets top call. (1) SOMETHING ROYAL raced okay at Flamboro the other night and she has upset potential tonight; using. (7) BAYWATCHING also drops into a conditioned claimer and she should go much better in this spot, possibly on the engine. (4) COMING YOUR WAY is in solid form and she gets the leading driver. She could sneak into the Tri or Super here.

Race 9: CLM HDCP $22,000 to $30,000

(7) OUTKAST BLUE CHIP raced okay against better now he drops in for a tag in a spot where I think there is a good chance he will get taken for $30K; top call. (5) LOVEMYROCKINBIRD was a strong winner at this level on 10/25. His last race from a bad post in the top class at Flamboro is a toss; using. (6) MACH IMPACT had broken equipment before the start last week. Barrington usually moves them up, so he merits a close look for multi-race tickets. (3) JEWELS DRAGON looked good winning when claimed, but the new barn is batting 0 with seven fresh claims so far this year. I wouldn't take a short price here.

Race 10: NW $3,000 L5 or $7,000 L10

Class-dropper (2) WIND BLOWN likely wins this if he stays flat, but he has broke in two of his last three, so he is hard to single. (5) ECLAT DE RIRE is the other dropper and he should be sent forward by Roy leaving the gate; using. (7) R BAZINGGA produced a decent late kick for Macdonald last week and he can take a slice here. (6) ROYAL SHIP can pass a few of these and take another check. (8) BIG BULLY can get positioned near the front and he is another that is worth using in the bottom of the High-5.
