Race 1: F&M 4YO and Younger NW1 or $10,000 LT **Guaranteed $100,000 Pick 5**

(7) WILLTOWIN HANOVER qualified faster than most of these race for a purse. She gets the call to break her maiden on debut. (9) MAKE IT EASY was resilient grinding out a first-over maiden victory at London and he should contend here, too; using. (3) BETTINA HANOVER drops out of a much tougher class and she took a mark of 1:59 here with Jamieson driving. She isn't impossible in this spot, but I'd need a price with Hie in the bike. (8) KABELLE is by the top trotting sire and related to a few winners. She is worth a look for the exotics in this first start.

Race 2: NW1 or $7,000 LT

(7) SUNDANCE LOU finished 2nd in a $102K OSS Gold race on debut last year, so you know he races well fresh. He qualified okay for this sophomore debut and he gets top billing. (8) WILLIAM HANOVER is sent out by Somebeachsomewhere’s connections. If he is live, he will likely be odds-on or thereabouts. (4) LETSFLYTOGETHER N got everything hos own way here on 3/21 but still got outpaced late. He could be sharper here in his second local start and he is in with a chance. (6) HP LIS SHADOW can close late to take another small share.

Race 3: NW5 (F&M7) or $105,000 LT

(5) PHOENIX seems fit better here than he did in recent fields that he has been competing in, and Filion will likely get him moving earlier. He should have a big shot vs. these. Not much went right for (1) SAYLOR in his debut for The Stable, but he draws better and faces easier here and he should be a threat; using. (2) HONE THE TONE is another that gets post relief tonight. He should be positioned closer to the front early in the mile and that makes him a possible value play in this spot. Consider him for early Pick 5 tickets. (4) MACALLAN shaded a rival that has already come back to win. He faces tougher though and I'll use him underneath.

Race 4: Claiming $15,000 for NW $50,000 LT - Pick 4

(1) JUST MARVELOUS had a tough trip when facing razor-sharp Y S Delight in London last week. This looks like an easier spot and he should be able to work out the winning trip starting from the inside. (2) WHATAWAYTOGO could wake up in a big way dropping into a claimer for the first time in his racing career; using. (5) SLICK N SPORTY hasn't hit the board in three starts for Moreau, but that streak should end here. He is in the exotics mix in this field. (9) ROCKINMYDREAM should flash early speed and stick around for a share.

Race 5: 4YO and Younger NW2 or $15,000 LT

(2) STOP THE SHOOTIN looks like a much-improved gelding at three and he was bet like he couldn’t lose on 3/17 and had no problem converting. He gets the call to repeat off that sharp mile. (3) SPORTY M THREE was involved in a mid-race procession of lead changes last week in an action-filled race. I can see him getting an easier trip this time and he should be a threat. (4) FLIGHT ONEFORTYSIX broke while trying a move as the pace was accelerating rapidly on the final turn at Yonkers. He should improve in this spot, but remember, he is also in need of a clean line tonight and that will likely be the first objective; using underneath. (7) LUX SEELSTER can pass a few of these late and land a share.

Race 6: NW $13,100 L5 or $24,000 L10 AE: OPT CLM $40,000 - Pick 5

(7) FINAL CLAIM rallied well last week and I see him getting put into this race earlier tonight; top call. (2) MUSCLE FASHION projects to get a good trip racing near the front tonight and he should be a threat; using. (4) OKEANOS is interesting adding Lasix off a decent effort. He should be a stretch presence and he is another in with a chance. (1) LIFE IS A FEAST had a complete form reversal last week to take a win vs. easier. I can see him rounding out the Tri or Super tonight.

Race 7: F&M 4YO and Younger NW1 or $7,200 LT - Pick 4

(5) INFINITY SEELSTER looked like a winner in the stretch last time until her stablemate got rolling and vaulted off dead cover. She should be the one to catch vs. these; slight nod. (4) TROPHY BRIDE paced a 28-second kicker but the winner was too good. She looks like one of the main contenders here; using. (3) UNIQUE ERA was pounded at the windows in that race but she didn’t fare too well racing first up; speed blast coming now? (8) LYONS PRINCESS should be good for another share racing close to the front.

Race 8: PREFERRED HANDICAP

(8) ONEY HALL can be quirky, but when he is good, he is really good as seen last week. Henry, who drives him best, looks to steer him to the threepeat tonight. (7) PERFETTO is the picture of consistency and he is the logical alternative if the choice falters; using. (6) DREAM NATION is having a good season and he should be along for another good share tonight. (3) ALL WRAPPED UP can pass a few of these and take a small slice.

Race 9: F&M CLM HDCP $8,000 to $10,000

(5) BLINK AND GONE drops to face much easier here and she should be the one to beat in this spot. (7) CRANBERRY BRIE is sure to get positioned near the front early and she should be in striking position turning for home; using. (3) HANNAH ON THE VIRG is the other class dropper that figures on paper, but she has missed more than three weeks action. I'd demand a price here. (4) DANA SALAAM hasn't missed the board since 2/19 and Sorrie will likely work out a good trip for her tonight; using underneath.

Race 10: NW $7,100 L5

This is a field that (5) DANCER HALL beats if he stays flat. It is likely that simple. (9) H P ROYAL THEO stacks up well vs. these and his price will be good starting from the widest post. He is the other one that I'll use on late multi-race tickets. (7) NYLANDER was bet like he couldn't lose in his 2022 debut and he converted with ease. I'll use him underneath on the class rise tonight. (1) ODDS ON AMETHYST combined a perfect Hudon steer and some racing luck to get the job done last week. I see him as a fringe player here. (2) STONEBRIDE SYMBA should be good for another small share starting from the inside.
