Race 1: 5YO and Younger winners of 2 (FM3) but not more than 5 (FM6) or $45K LT AE: 4YO and 5YO OPT CLM $50,000 **Gtd. $100,000 Pick 5**

(7) GRATEFUL has been racing well at this level and he can be even better racing out of Moreau’s barn tonight; top call. The choice’s stablemate (6) PUBLICITY SEEKER zagged when he should have zigged on the final turn when he had a chance to slide off the pylons and he ran into traffic in the land that cost him some placings. I'll use him in the Pick 5 expecting a better drive. (4) UNBEATABLE KEMP moves inside, and he is another live contender in a good betting race. (1) BAR BRAWL is hot, but he faces tougher here. I'll use him underneath.

Race 2: CLM HDCP $25,000 to $35,000

(1) CURIOUS CORTEZ jogged racing off the Barrington claims and this field doesnt look much tougher; call to repeat. (2) JULERICA was starting to dial the choice in when the wire hit, and I could see hi turning the tables tonight starting lined up next to that rival. (6) ARUKIDINME CABBIE got an impossible trip from the 10-hole racing off the Moreau claim, and he is worth a look here at what should be a decent price. (7) ROCK AND TWIST is usually in the mix at this level, and he should be part of the Tri or Super.

Race 3: Horses that have started for a purse of $7,500 or less in 1 of L5 AE: NW $8,100 in 2023

(8) EMBLAZE HANOVER raced okay first up chasing a tough, unyielding winner last week and he fits well vs. these. I think he gets more aggressive here and he gets top billing. (5) SIR A closed well in both starts since being claimed by Riley and he should be heard from late here. (3) STOP THE SHOOTIN should improve by default facing easier here and he is another in with a shot. (1) HERVEY HANOVER will probably lay closer to the front tonight and he can land a share.

Race 4: NW $8,500 L5 or NW6 or $75,000 LT AE: OPT CLM $45,000 - Pick 4

(5) PERFETTO got a needed tightener in now he drops, and he should pop here in his second start of the year. (1) WHITE TIGER is the other dropper to consider here, and he figures to be much closer to the front early in this mile; using. (4) SPARTAN GENERAL is good enough to beat these, but his history shows that he typically needs one when coming off a break in action. I'll use him underneath. (10) WARRAWEE XALT drops and adds Lasix, but he has missed five weeks; small share predicted.

Race 5: NW $14,200 L5 or $26,000 L10 AE: NW2 in 2023 or NW $110,000 LT

(9) DEALIN WITH DEWEY faced much better in the New Holland series and he took a couple of checks in there. I think Roy blasts and tries to go down the road tonight. (1) TOKYO SEELSTER was close vs. better, and I could see him riding in the choice’s pocket here. He is the other one that I'll use on multi-race tickets. (3) SHESTHELUCKYONE continues to close well, and she picks up Macdonald tonight with Roy siding with the choice. She should be on the scene late for a share. (5) SHADRACK HANOVER should be in the exotics mix on the class drop.

Race 6: Horses that have started for a purse of $15K or less in 1 of L3 - Pick 5

(7) WALKONTHEMOON worked out a perfect trip to win last week but I like the 27 2/5 kicker and he gets the call to repeat. (3) SICARIO is razor-sharp, and he can threaten here again starting from a good post. (5) ROWLEN is another that is in solid form, and he should be a bit sharper tonight returning to a 7-day cycle. (9) ALL WRAPPED UP was wildly overbet last week. He is trip dependent and can win if the race falls apart late, but I don’t see that happening here.

Race 7: NW $1,800 L3

Overseas shipper (4) MATAI LOUIS N gets McNair and Lasix and a cozy spot for his local debut; top call. (3) ROCKIN N TALKIN takes a big drop for this return race, and he should be the main threat to the choice, likely racing from close range; using. (5) SPORTS FAN is another dropper that figures but McNair chose the choice over him. I'll use him underneath. (1) GOOD AND SWEET should sit a trip racing close to the front and work his way into the exotics.

Race 8: CLM HDCP $12,000 to $16,000 - Pick 4

(8) NO TIME AT ALL raced first up vs. some salty older conditioned pacers in London last Wednesday and I'll take a swing for the fences with him here hoping Sorrie blasts with him. (4) JIM STRIKESITRICH raced best for Fellows who claimed him back last week. He is an obvious danger. (5) WINDSONG GRAYSON is very sharp right now and he can beat these if he gets a decent setup for his late kick; using. (3) ALLGONOWHOA hasn’t won in forever, but he is a good one to use on the bottom of the exotics at a price.

Race 9: FREE FOR ALL

(7) LOGAN PARK overcame a slow early pace to win as a big chalk in his seasonal debut and he will likely be even tougher now that he got a race in; call to repeat. (2) HP MAMA B looked like she was on her way to a stakes final win when she jumped it off. She should be a factor here if she stays trotting. (5) ONEY HALL, 3rd to the choice last week, is in the exotics mix again. (8) LOCATELLI was the beneficiary when HP Mama B broke, but he is in great form, and he should be good for a share tonight.

Race 10: CLM HDCP $17,000 to $22,000

(4) A BOY NAMED SUUZZ kicked home in 27 2/5 last week which can be an indicator that he is finding his form. I'll stab with him here expecting a good price and a pace meltdown late. (8) ROYAL RENEGADE chased home a strong winner that wasn’t slowing down and Roy likely blasts with him here and tries to lead all the way; using. (10) SNAP TEST obviously fits better in this claimer but post 10 will probably be the stumbling block. I'd need a price with this one. (5) ZIPPIDY ZOOM gets Macdonald while stepping up of a claim. I'll play to beat him as a probable underlay.

Race 11: NW $4,400 L5

(6) FLYING ART A looks good here after chasing Codename Cigar Box home last week and he should be the one to catch here. (4) BETTER BE GOUDA also chased a tough leader home and he can be an Exacta factor in this spot. (1) JOELSYY HANOVER takes a big drop here but he seems up against it starting from the rail. I'll play to beat him. (7) SOMEWHERENTUSCANY raced tough first up last week. I think he sits back and rallies late for a share this time. (3) ARTIES IDEAL can improve enough moving inside to take a slice.
