Top Pick Stats: 393 - 1152 / $2,195.10 (-$108.90) Best Bets: 58 - 108 / $186.30 (-$29.70) Spot Plays: 26 - 105 / $259.80 (+$49.80) Best Bet: PALLADIUM HANOVER (9TH) Spot Play: BBC SPORTSBOY (10TH) Early Pick 5: 2,4/5,6/4,6/3,4,8/3,4,7,8 = $19.20 Late Pick 5: 3,6/1,3,4/5,6,8/3,6/5,7 = $14.40 Early Pick 4: 3,4,8/3,4,7,8/3,6/1,4 = $9.60 Late Pick 4: 1,3,4/5,6,8/3,6/5,7 = $7.20 Race 1: WINNERS OF 3 (FM 4) BUT NOT MORE THAN 5 (FM 6) OR $80,000 LIFETIME  **Gtd. $100,000 Pick 5** (2) COLD SNAPS motored home last time despite having missed a week. He can beat these if he lays a bit closer to the front. (4) TOP MAST was gifted a 58 opening 1/2 and there was no catching him from there. He is sharp and he doesn’t need the lead to win; the main danger. (9) MADE OF MAGIC blew up the tote board in a good effort last week and he showed that he can overcome this post. He is in the exotics mix here. (7) MASS HYSTERIA’s comeback race was good and she can take another share here. [DRF HARNESS: Get Harness Eye PPs for this card] Race 2: PREFERRED HANDICAP. PP #1-3 DRAWN. PP #4-6 DRAWN (5) GAINES HANOVER shows a specific pattern in his PPs. When Logan Park doesn’t show up, he wins. Enough said. (6) FASHION FRENZIE should be the main threat and the one to catch if he stays flat tonight. (4) HANDSOME SEBASTIAN was very good in his comeback race but this is tougher and he likely gets another slice tonight. (3) BRACE FOR LANDING keeps getting faster and he can land in the exotics here on the class rise. Race 3: HORSES THAT HAVE STARTED FOR A PURSE OF $15,000 OR LESS IN ONE OF LAST 3 STARTS. AE: NW OF A RACE IN 2024 (MIN. 10 STARTS) (6) MISTER MAGIC was devastating in his second start following the Moreau claim. He will have a big shot here if he can repeat that mile. (4) ALL GAS NO BRAKES will be everyone’s troubled trip horse after he got jammed up with nowhere to go last week. He can win, but he will probably be over bet. (1) TWIN B ARCHIE stole a 59 middle 1/2 in his comeback win and I’m inclined to try to beat him tonight. (3) KAMERAN HANOVER will likely close late for another share. Race 4: NW $14,500 LAST 5 STARTS.  AE: OPT. CLM. $70,000. AE: NW $17,500 IN 2023 OR 2024. AE: NW $25,000 LAST 5 STARTS TO DRAW OUTSIDE - Pick 4 (5) SAFE CONDUCT closed too late to catch a strong winner that was taking a new lifetime mark last week. That was a good effort, and he will be tough to beat in here if he gets put into this race earlier. (4) SPECIAL MISSION was really good here in winter and spring and his lifetime mark of 1:52 3/5 was taken in the final of the New Holland series which was only three starts back. He can be right there vs. these. (8) STONEBRIDGE BRAVO has been in the mix in every start for Moreau. She should get another share here. (1) SERENITY CRUISE drops to a spot where she should be in the exotics mix. Race 5: 3 YEAR OLD COLTS & GELDINGS: PROSPECT SERIES STARTERS IN 2024 (7) MAPPO RILEY was unlucky in defeat here two starts back then he got a better trip to win at Grand River. He has hit his best stride and he will likely offer a good price tonight; top call. (4) ALL BETS ON RED was a front end winner here two starts back with Macdonald driving and he should be a speed threat in this spot. (8) LAMBORGHINI LOU gets his nose back on the gate here and that makes him a threat. Mackenzie will no doubt put him into the race leaving the gate. (3) TRICKY MCWICKY paced a big mile on the rim to beat Lamborghini Lou at Grand River. He is another in with a shot in a good betting race. Race 6: 3 YEAR OLD COLTS & GELDINGS: GRASSROOTS STARTERS. AE: 3 YEAR OLDS NW 3 RACES LIFETIME - Pick 5 (2) SCINTILLATING TOM throttled NW2 two starts back then raced well in defeat in the Gold Mid-Season Consolation. He is the one to catch and beat here. (6) FABULOUS FREDDIE fits better here and he will likely be the main threat to the choice in this spot; using. (1) STORMONT HAPPY DAY wasn’t far behind the choice last time. He should work another good trip into a share here. (5) JACK N ABS is in tougher here and likely a fringe player tonight. Race 7: HORSES THAT HAVE STARTED FOR A PURSE OF $9,000 OR LESS IN ONE OF LAST 3 STARTS. AE: NW $7,000 LAST 10 STARTS - Pick 4 This is a much easier spot for (1) SMOKESTACK and I can see him turning his form around facing this field; top call. (4) FOREFATHER is the obvious threat showing a 26 1/5 kicker and retaining the leading driver; using. (3) KANSAS PANIC is in tougher but he comes in off a nice win and moves to the Auciello barn. He is worth a look for multi-race tickets. (8) BETTORBEFLYIN is capable of better than he has been showing recently. He can take a share here if he improves slightly. Race 8: NW $8,000 LAST 5 STARTS. AE: OPT. CLM. $50,000. AE: N/A $1,660 P/S IN 2023-24 OR NW $18,650 IN 2024 (MIN 5 STARTS) (5) BELLA CAVALLA was beaten only two lengths racing off the Moreau claim despite having broken equipment for the entire mile. She gets Macdonald now and top call here. (8) NEW RULES drops and gets Roy and he will likely get sent forward leaving the gate this week. He may be the one to catch at the 1/8th pole. (6) KEVIN ANTHONY typically races well at this level and Henry chose him over others; using. (4) SPARTAN GENERAL is hard to trust as the morning line chalk and this is no easy spot for him. I’ll play to beat him. [DRF HARNESS: Sign up for our FREE DRF Harness Digest Newsletter] Race 9: NW $4,000 LAST 5 STARTS OR NW $15,000 LAST 10 STARTS. AE: N/A $1,635 P/S IN 2023-24 (6) PALLADIUM HANOVER motored to the front last week then he was forced to chase class dropping Points North who scorched around the track. This gelding has a better chance here and his price should be decent. (3) HESINCONTROL comes off a strong closing effort and he will likely be the one to fend off in the lane here. (7) WOODMERE ROLLNPOP finished ahead of the choice and he should be part of the exotics tonight. (4) SOUTHWIND SAMBUCCA also edged the choice. He can close for a slice in this spot. Race 10: NW $4,700 LAST 5 STARTS OR NW $9,800 LAST 10 STARTS. AE: OPT. CLM. $25,000 (5) BBC SPORTSBOY was claimed by Gillis and Lasix is added. I think Henry gives him an aggressive steer and he gets the nod. (7) GRATEFUL chased a strong winner and took a share in an improved effort last week. Macdonald, who drove him to a win two starts back, takes the lines again here; using. (8) SHADRACK HANOVER fits better here and he will probably get put into action leaving the gate; exotics factor. (4) VILLEFRANCHE AS followed a leader who stole a 59 middle 1/2 last week. I think she gets over bet here and I prefer to use her underneath. (3) VICTOR INVICTUS comes off a solid effort at Grand River. He can close for a piece of this.
