Race 1: ONTARIO SIRES STAKES: GOLD MID-SEASON CONSOLATION: 2 YEAR OLD TROTTING COLTS & GELDINGS **$100K Gtd. Pick 5**

(4) MANFORCE was favored in 7/25 Gold but busted from the rail. Prior starts are solid with two seconds. Perfect post to break maiden now. (8) DAY won a grassroots before tiring in a Gold in latest. Barn known to improve these types rapidly. (6) SHUDDER GREEN is another from a top trotting barn that has on the board finishes in two starts. Price will be ok for those who believe. (1) WEARING THE GREEN has experience and has dropped time every start.

(7) SOUTHWIND COORS adds Lasix on return from a few weeks off. He’s classy, can win with any trip off this drop. (3) LIKE CHAOS qualified with a blowout win at Grand River. He’s going to be up front here just needs to rate and hold. (5) MISTER MAGIC is very sharp with two straight wins. Can throw in a bust at times, so be careful of the price. (2) CHULO tried to wire last but was in too tough.

Race 3: 5 YEAR OLDS & YOUNGER, NW 3 (FM 4) RACES OR $67,750 (OS $84,750) LIFETIME. AE: 3 YR OLD FILLIES

(5) MASSTERCRAFT gets Henry back, was very sharp with him in win two back. Last was solid from ten post. (4) WINNING ALLIANCE acclimated in last, has six wins already this year including here 5/2. (7) NORTHERN LOOKER I liked in last but was too far back. Has a Gold win this year and will roll late. (3) MADE OF MAGIC is having another nice season. Five wins, and he has speed early.

Race 4: PREFERRED - Pick 4

(3) LOGAN PARK flew early in Mass. but was caught late by two classy foes. Loves it here and will need to be caught. (9) GHOSTLY CASPER loves overnight races. Post hurts but can win from off the pace with a rally. (7) GAINES HANOVER was a refund in last with pre-gate bust. Capable of huge kicks and a setup looms here. (2) OSCEOLA is having a nice season in limited starts. I expect a stalk and pounce try.

Race 5: ONTARIO SIRES STAKES: GOLD MID-SEASON FINAL: 2 YEAR OLD TROTTING FILLIES

(2) MONALISHI has two nice Gold wins from wide posts. Should show speed again but now inside. (5) BADEN BADEN is right there in Golds with a win and a second beaten a neck. Comes from off the pace so could need some movement during the race. (8) T H MONICA has been favored in all three starts. JMac sticks looking for a better trip. (10) MEDLEY SEELSTER has made 71k so far this year. Needs to overcome post here.

Race 6: 3 YEAR OLD COLTS & GELDINGS: PROSPECT SERIES STARTERS IN 2024 - Pick 5

(3) LAMBORGHINI LOU just flat out likes to win. Has seven already this year including a nice win 7/29 after two straight tough trips. (6) TRICKY MCWICKY tired in last but beat these types on two prior starts. (2) JMR SPEAK AWAY was right there with these after shipping from Grand River last week. Won’t be 22-1 here. (1) HAZEE COAST has five wins this year but needs a return to form.

Race 7: ONTARIO SIRES STAKES: GOLD MID-SEASON FINAL: 2 YEAR OLD TROTTING COLTS & GELDINGS - Pick 4

(3) GALEN ERSO looks live with two Gold wins in tow for The Mcnairs with early moves. Short price expected. (4) YOU GOT IT KEMP has the speed to roll early and get a trip behind the chalk. (1) SOUND N VISION kicked 27 2/5 in last to win and would benefit from a duel. (2) CALL ME PARKER moves inside looking for an easier trip up close.

Race 8: 5 YEAR OLDS & YOUNGER, NW 3 (FM 4) RACES OR $67,750 (OS $84,750) LIFETIME. AE: 3 YR OLD FILLIES

(2) BBC SPORTSBOY was very sharp 7/22 to win then went too fast 7/29 and tired. Better spot here but needs a breather. (1) P L RAINBOW DASH is a closer that is improving. I think she can catch these with a trip. (7) FINITE got a nice check in Gold midseason final in last. Overnights are probably not the goal but he plays here. (3) LEXUS ANGEL has 61k in earnings this season and can grab a share.

Race 9: NW $8,000 LAST 5 STARTS OR $21,700 LAST 10 STARTS. AE: OPT. CLM. $50,000. AE: NW 6 (FM 7) RACES LIFETIME. AE: NW $28,000 IN 2024 (MIN 5 STARTS)

(2) ALL GAS NO BRAKES was flying late in last vs Pemberton. This is a better spot to be close early and make an early move. (4) ESPRESSO returns from KY with 120k in earnings from last season; has early speed. (3) ALL WRAPPED UP is hit and miss but capable of 76/1 type upsets like the one on 7/15. (6) LOCATELLI can fill in bottom spots of exotics with his usual rally.

Race 10: NW $14,000 LAST 5 STARTS. AE: OPT. CLM. $70,000. AE: NW $105,000 LIFETIME. AE: NW $24,000 LAST 5 STARTS TO DRAW OUTSIDE

(10) PEMBERTON looked back to himself 7/29 with facile win. Needs to blast to overcome post. (6) NASEY can trip out with his speed from this post. (4) SAFE CONDUCT chased the choice in latest and finished up well. He’s getting closer to top form. (1) BELLA CAVALLA improved after claim but now goes into a new barn. (9) DISTANCE LEARNING is having a nice year but usually starts slow and that hurts chances here.
