Race 1: NW5 (F&M7) or $89,000 (F&M $100,000) **Guaranteed $100,000 Pick 5**
(6) STAY CLOSE dropped more then three seconds last week and he took a new lifetime best in the process. He should be a big favorite to repeat off that big win. (1) P L OPPORTUNITY has come back sharp at four and she should be right there again tonight. (3) ON A STREAK raced better last week, improving his late speed. He should be in the exotics mix tonight. (5) URNTROUBLE HANOVER likely sits and rallies for a small share in his first race back coming off a rest.

Race 2: CLM HDCP $22,000 to $30,000
(7) JULERICA was never losing last week with the great trip he got, but he took a new season's mark and he has shown he doesn't need a perfect trip to win; call to repeat. (6) LEGAL BETTOR raced well off the claim in a tough field in London and he should be the main threat here. (1) HIGH FLYIN JAMIE steps up off a lifetime best score and races off the Barrington claim tonight and he is so sharp right now that he is hard to toss. (5) HERESTHATMANAGAIN got an impossible trip from a wide post last week when claimed and he still hit the board. Moving inside gives him a chance here; using.

Race 3: NW $3,100 L5 or $8,000 L10 or NW1 L7 AE: Starters for a purse of $9K or less L4
Iron-tough veteran (5) POINTOMYGRANSON faces similar to what he beat last week and he should repeat at another short price. (2) CENTURY FURY raced better than it looks on paper last week from post 10 and he has upset potential in this second start at this low conditioned class. I could see him being a pocket rocket starting from a better post tonight. (1) DENMARK SEELSTER stormed down the middle of the track to notch the upset last week but these are tougher; small share predicted. (7) DAY DELIGHT should be closer early here and that makes him a contender for a share.
Race 4: Pop-Up Series NW $20,000 in 2022 or N/A $1,250 per start in 2022 (min. 10 starts) - Pick 4
(6) COOL CLIFFORD qualified in faster time than most of these race and I'll take a stab with him in a race with no standout. (9) OKEANOS is one of the best in here but he missed some time and he draws wide so I wouldn't take a short price tonight. (2) OVERSERVED is in easier here and he keeps Jamieson in the bike. He should improve in this spot. (7) SHOSHIE DEO picks up the leading driver in a wide-open race and that makes her worth a look at a price.
Race 5: 5YO and Younger NW3 or $32,500 LT AE: 4YO Claiming $25,000
(6) HOWIES MAN draws best coming off huge mile in which he took a new lifetime best. He should be tough to beat if can produce a similar effort tonight (2) COLD CREEK QUESO was picked off right on the wire in a good effort and he should be a threat here. (4) SILK ROAD SMASH races in between sires stake races here and it's often hard to predict what kind of a trip horses will get in these situations. I'll use him underneath tonight. (9) MAYHEM LIKE ME made a nice late wide move from an impossible spot in London last week. Give him a price look for the bottom of the exotics.
Race 6: ONTARIO SIRES STAKES GOLD Leg 1 3YO Fillies - Pick 5
(5) ADARE CASTLE is literally the queen of this sires stakes castle and she isn't likely to be tested until she faces open company. Another 1 to 9 jogburger looms. (2) MISCHEVIOUS ROSE adds Lasix and she is likely to complete a chalky Exacta if she stays flat tonight. (3) PORTOFINO had an excellent Grassroots campaign last year now she tries Gold company in this sophomore debut. She should be good for a share tonight. (7) SAUNDRA, 2nd to the choice last time, likely lands in the Tri or Super here.
Race 7: Pop-Up Series NW $20,000 in 2022 or N/A $1,250 per start in 2022 (min. 10 starts) - Pick 4
This should be a soft spot for (4) MYSTIC, who has faced a steady diet of tougher company recently; top call. (1) AWORLDLY GOODTIMES rates highly vs these but at press time he was in to go Friday night. There could be a chart line missing from this one's PPs if he indeed goes to the gate here. (3) VICTOR INVICTUS gets a pro driver back here and he is worth using underneath at a price. (7) HOLDIN ACES takes frequent shares and he should be part of the Super.
Race 8: NW $3,100 L5 or $8,000 L10 or NW1 L7 AE: Starters for a purse of $9,000 or Less L4
(6) NO BETTER JOY improved when dropped to this level last week and this is a spot where he should be prominent making his fourth start off the Auciello claim; top call. (7) JM JACK OF HEARTS just missed at this level two starts back and he is obviously capable but coming off a vet scratch and missing some time makes him a bit risky in a spot where he will get bet. (2) SOMETIME SOMEWHERE fits well vs. these and he is in with an upset chance tonight. (3) ROYAL RENEGADE was used up early when claimed last week. I imagine he sits and rallies for a slice tonight.

Race 9: PREFERRED HANDICAP
(6) HEY LIVVY returns from Yonkers in great form and her lifetime mark of 1:51 1/5 came in this class beating the boys a couple of summers ago. Part-owner Henry takes the lines and she gets the nod. (8) PATRIARCH HANOVER produced a lifetime best effort to get the job done at this level last week and he will likely offer a good price again; using. (9) ONEY HALL appears to be a bit tricky to drive and he loses Henry tonight Your call, but I'd demand a price. (7) FORBIDDDEN TRADE is racing into top shape and he will pop up and win one of these weeks; maybe tonight?
Race 10: Horses that have started for a purse of $15,000 or less in one of L4
(8) THE FIXER set some big fractions last week and he beat all but the pocket sitter. I can see him beating these racing on the lead tonight. (2) TYMAL RIGGS made a nice recovery after breaking before the start last week and he should be a major player in here if he stays flat this time. (3) LIFE IS A FEAST would have won the amateur drivers race last week if a breaker didn't run into him and throw him off stride. He is another in with a chance here. (7) TREASURED TEE was given a sharp steer to win the amateur drivers race and he will likely show speed and stick around for a share tonight. (5) WHAT A RUSH was reeling the leader in last week but he ran out of racetrack. He should be in the High-5.
