(3) MIDNIGHT MIRACLE was the first leader last week then he didn't have the smoothest trip after that. I'll try him at a price here in a spot where he could trip out. (10) SHES BEER LEAGUE is on a roll and is hard to discount despite facing tougher and drawing widest. (4) GRATEFUL flew late in a good effort and he has been right there in three of his last four starts; using. (1) UNBEATABLE KEMP got in a jackpot early in the stretch when he was about to start a move. He is in the exotics mix tonight.

Race 2: Horses that have started for a purse of $7,500 or less in 1 of L4 AE: NW $3,700 L5

(5) JK LAST CHANCE woke up in a big way last week and I could see him getting another setup for his late kick here; call to repeat. (7) ACTOR HANOVER made several moves when caught by the choice and he is the one to knock off again. (8) FINAL CHEESERECIPE was a sharp victor in his first try with McNair at the controls and his improving form makes him a contender here. (3) ISLAND BEACH BOY will likely set the pace early and stick around for a share.

Race 3: NW $21,000 L5 AE: NW7LT or NW2 L10

This looks like one of the better betting races on the card where you could make a case for most of them. I'll side with (5) SHADRACK HANOVER, who should be able to work out a good trip starting from the middle of the gate. (8) PIKACHU HANOVER couldn’t have won much easier here two weeks ago and he should offer a good price here facing tougher and drawing widest. He is capable in this spot. (3) DULY RESOLVED is the class of the field but he might need one before showing his best. Your call on what could be an underlay. (2) ONEY HALL was a predictable winner in his second start back last week and he is another that is capable of stepping up in class and repeating.

Race 4: CLM HDCP $17,000 to $22,000 - Pick 4

(7) JULERICA was used hard early in a fast mile, and he had nothing left in the lane. He can beat these if he gets a better trip. (9) FLASHY DUDE dropped and popped and Sorrie deftly moved him early from the back to find live cover. He should be a threat right back. I like the improvement (1) VIPER showed last week. He could be live tonight. (4) MY LAND outraced his odds in two straight, and he should be in the exotics mix again.

Race 5: Horses that have started for a purse of $15,000 or less in 1 of L5 or NW $100,000 LT

(7) SHESTHELUCKYONE motored home to win last week, and her big late kick should play here; too. Call to repeat. (10) LOOK AT DAT KAT looked like he was on his way to another win when he jumped it off turning for home, perhaps affected by the driving snow. He should be a threat if he stays flat. (5) DONATOVER was a game winner, but he will probably need more late speed to beat these. I would demand a price here. (3) SLATED TO WIN is worth a look shipping in sharp from Ohio.

Race 6: CLM HDCP $25,000 to $30,000 - Pick 5

Great betting race here with plenty of options. (8) FROWNIES MIRACLE always looked like he was going to win last week if he got room to race and he found it in time and flew late to get up. He should offer a good price tonight. (10) ARUKIDINME CABBIE is hot, and he goes for Moreau now. Two horses, including the choice, have already come out of his recent victory to win and post 10 helps his price; using. The two Barrington claims, (6) I AMA ROCKET and (5) SPEAKING OF ART are both worth using because of that conditioner's prowess with new acquisitions.

Race 7: NW $8,000 L5 AE: OPT CLM $45,000 - Pick 4

(10) HAMMER TIME goes for Team Cullen after what appears to be a private sale following his March 13th win. He should be on go leaving the gate and he gets the call to repeat. (7) MACALLAN drops and he gets Young back. He performs best for that teamster, and he is in with a decent chance tonight. (2) SWAN TRIXIE was first up against tough Locatelli, who would likely be odds on in this field. She is another option for multi-race tickets. (8) JACK FIRE was best last week, but he got held up too long on bad cover. He can close for a slice here.

Race 8: Horses that have started for a purse of $7,500 or less in 1 of L4

(4) P L JACKSON comes back quick after jogging in London last Wednesday and he can repeat in this spot. (7) DRAGON ENERGY won the race for place behind a dominant winner at Flamboro on Thursday and he seems to fit well here. He can be a threat. (1) EMBLAZE HANOVER was first up chasing a dominant winner last week and he should be sharper now returning in seven days. He's another in with a chance. (2) ALLGONOWHOA’s recent form is good but he hasn’t won in forever. I'll use him underneath.

Race 9: NW $1,650 L3

(3) TORONTO was out forever and missed a check last week. That allows him to drop to the bottom here and he should have a good shot vs. these. (5) CONTROL THE POWER’s comeback race was very good and it wouldn't surprise me if he went off favored here. He should be the main threat. (2) GRAND POOBAH takes a class dive here and he will surely get put into the race, but I'm not sure I'd take a short price on him here. (8) DANCE MACHINE can close for a slice in this spot.

Race 10: CLM HDCP $12,000 to $16,000

(6) JIM STRIKESITRICH isn't going to win forever but he draws best here and faces many that he trounced last week, so he is probably good for another. (3) STATE OF PLAY gets off the rail and I could see McNair getting more aggressive with him this week, price look. (10) STEWS WATCHING can improve for Fellows, but the 10-hole is obviously no bargain. I'll use him underneath. (8) MACHAL JORDAN raced well for new connections now he returns quicker. He is in the exotics mix. (4) LARJON LUCKY is worth a look for the bottom of the Super and High-5 picking up Henry here.
