Race 1: 2YO Colts and Geldings Grassroots starters in 2023 AE: Prospect Series starters **Gtd. $100,000 Pick 5**

(2) COPPEREAGLE stormed up late to get the job done in his debut and he looks good to repeat here, likely at a puny price. (6) BEAR NECESSITIES can improve moving from the worst post to the best one here. I'll use him to complete the Exacta. (1) GAELIC PIPER should get a good spot early and stick around for a good piece of this. (3) STORMONT CHEERIO's debut was good enough to suggest that he can be in the exotics mix in this field.

Race 2: winners of 4 (F&M5) but not more than 6 (F&M7) or $80,000 LT AE: 4YO and 5YO to be claimed for $60,000

(2) MISCHEVIOUS ROSE is best at this level she just needs to be driven aggressively like she was last week; call to repeat. (6) STABLE GENIUS was closest to the choice last week and he should be the main threat here, too. (7) MIDNIGHT MIRACLE missed a week, but she has been on a good roll, and she is another in with a chance in this spot. (5) CHOCOLATE PARFAIT will likely close for another small share in this spot.

Race 3: 5YO and younger winners of 2 (F&M3) but not more than 4 (F&M5) or $54,000 LT AE: 4YO and 5YO OPT CLM $50,000

(7) DJIMON looked good winning racing first up and he gets the call to repeat despite facing tougher tonight. (8) SOUTHWIND DOMINO was 1 for 24 in 2022-23 then he got Henry in the bike, and he immediately took a second win. He tracked very strong fractions in that win, and he will get put into play early here, too; using. (6) SNOWPIERCER won at this level two starts back and he should contend here starting from the best post. (4) EDEN ONTHEHIL gets a better post and Macdonald, and he should be part of the exotics.

Race 4: NW $9,800 L5 or $18,500 in 2023 AE: OPT CLM $45,000 - Pick 4

(5) TRUFFLES TOO should control this race from the outset on the drop and pop. (1) OKEANOS was good in defeat last week and he can be an Exacta factor here. (10) SEA CAN will take no money here from post 10, but his last two wins on the 'B' tracks were excellent and he is worth a look for use underneath tonight. (6) HEAVENSDOR HANOVER swept the Pop Up series now he has been off for a couple of weeks. These are tougher. I'll use him on the bottom.

Race 5: NW $4,000 L5 AE: NW1 L9

(1) SERIOUSLY HANOVER laid down some serious fractions in defeat last time. He can win this with a better-rated mile. (3) DANCE MACHINE left everything on the track when claimed in taking his first win of the year. If that effort didn't take too much out of him, he should contend here. (9) FOREFATHER gets our attention moving to Barrington's barn tonight. (4) P L OCTAVIUS should pass many of these late to land in the exotics.

Race 6: NW $14,000 L5 or $28,550 L10 - Pick 5

(7) PEMBERTON was much better last week now Henry takes over the controls. He is the clear top pick here. (2) SPARTAN GENERAL drops to a level where his good late kick should play better. He can be an Exacta factor in this spot. (5) TYMAL RIGGS qualified sharply for this return, and he should be in the exotics mix. This is a tougher spot for (1) SHADRACK HANOVER who comes off a sharp win; small share predicted.

Race 7: 5YO and younger winners of 2 (F&M3) but not more than 4 (F&M5) or $54,000 LT AE: 4YO and 5YO OPT CLM $50,000 - Pick 4

(8) UNBEATABLE KEMP races off the expensive claim here and after cutting a pace he could not sustain last week. I'll give him a slight nod in a race with a few options. (3) LAST PAGE FIRST kicks home in 27 and change every race which makes her a threat; using. (7) OH LOOK MAGIC was close at this level two starts back when he led until late, and he is another in with a shot. (5) WARRAWEE YANG gets needed post relief tonight and that makes him a contender vs. these.

Race 8: CLM HDCP $25,000 to $30,000

(8) I AMA ROCKET faced tougher in two starts since being claimed and he should wake up with the move back to the Barrington barn tonight; top call. (7) ROCK AND TWIST got position early and it paid off last week. He is sharp and dangerous. (3) SKYLAR was reclaimed by Puddy and that was the 12th start in a row where he was claimed. Last week's effort was sub par and he might be getting tired now. I'll play to beat him tonight. (6) SUNDAY AFTERNOON is interesting here as a mare facing the boys. She is fast enough to contend for a share.

Race 9: FREE FOR ALL HANDICAP Posts 1-5 drawn and posts 6-7 drawn

This looks like another battle between (6) LOGAN PARK, and (7) FASHION FRENZIE. The former raced more recently, and he set a new Canadian record that night, so he gets top billing tonight. (5) WARRAWEE XENIA and (1) ADARE CASTLE are two top-class mares facing males and racing between stakes starts. Both are capable of taking a share here.

Race 10: Horses that have started for a purse of $9K or less in 1 of L4 AE: NW $500 L5

(6) BOLT POWER raced week at a similar level last week here and he draws best now with a probable solid pace to chase. He gets a slight nod in a race with several possibilities. (8) BAYFIELD BEACH should get aggressive early tonight and that gives him a shot; using. (10) HESINCONTROL is another that will likely get put into the race early this time and he is another that merits a look for late multi-race tickets. (2) OUTLAW ACEOFSPADES gets Cullen back in the bike and he comes in off a solid effort. He is another in with a shot in a good betting race. (4) PARTYINTHESHADOWS should show speed and stick around for a share again.
