Race 1: Pop Up 2nd Leg **Guaranteed $100,000 Pick 5**

(3) LITTLE MANNY was an easy winner in the opening leg last week with Macdonald using no urging in the lane. This field looks a bit tougher, but he should be up to it. (2) COME ON BARNEY has improving form and he looked good dominating conditioned foes in London on Tuesday night; using. (4) SKYLAR's 28-flat kicker should play well here if he is in striking range at the 3/4 pole. He is another in with a chance. (6) AMERICAN SNIPER has been rallying well lately and he should come on for another share tonight.

Race 2: PREFERRED

This class the past couple of weeks has been a game of trips. (4) JIMMY FREIGHT got the good trip last week and two weeks back he had no shot whatsoever due to pace and trip. He did rally well in the lane last week once he got room and he is starting to look a bit like the Jimmy Freight of old; call to repeat. (1) COMMANDING OFFICER did well in his first start in the top class and he should be closer in this short field tonight. He would be no surprise here. (6) UHTRED had every chance last week but he couldn't outsprint the choice. I'll use him underneath here. (3) WOODMERE STEALDEAL should get a good trip racing near the front and take a slice.

Race 3: CLM HDCP $22,000 to $30,000

(5) SUNNY BO has been on fire since being claimed by Puddy on 1/31 and a threepeat looms here. (8) GOLDINTHEBADLANDS should be well-positioned again and he should be the main danger to the choice tonight. (10) LOVEMYROCKINBIRD is another that is razor-sharp but he could get a rough ride from out there with a few leavers signed up to his left; using underneath. (7) ROYAL RENEGADE figures to rally for a slice as he has been doing for several weeks.

Race 4: Pop Up 2nd Leg - Pick 4

(3) PRIVATE SCOTT turned things around in a hurry on the barn change last week and off that sharp victory he gets the call to repeat. (5) DRIVELIKEUSTOLEIT should produce another good late rally tonight and that makes him an Exacta factor. (9) MACH LEE draws widest but that might facilitate some cover tonight and he can land in the Tri or Super. (2) COTE DAZURE gets post relief and faces easier. He is worth a look for the bottom of the exotics at a price.

Race 5: NW $17,500 L5 or $28,000 L10 or NW $120,000 LT AE: OPT CLM $50,000 AE: Mares

(5) NO PLAN INTENDED raced huge in defeat last week, being forced to grind first up when he couldn’t fish out any cover. Jamieson as been a good partner for him in the past and he returns to the bike tonight; top call. (7) POSEIDON SEELSTER took them a long way on the engine in the top class last week and he is hard to leave off multi-race tickets. (6) POINTS NORTH figures to improve enough on the class drop to land in the Tri in this field. (4) SOMETIME SOMEWHERE is a good one to use in the bottom of the exotics. He will likely get another good following trip tonight.

Race 6: F&M NW4 or $65,000 LT - Pick 5

(4) BLONDE ONTHE BEACH was never chasing down a leader that stole 3/4 in 1:29 last week but that was a good, determined effort. She should get an honest pace to chase tonight; top call. (6) EMMY LOU HAYES fits better here and she attracts Macdonald. She should be racing on the lead or in the pocket and that makes her dangerous in this spot. (7) MY ONLY SUNSHINE woke up with Sorrie driving and she is another that should be forwardly-placed here. She is in with a decent chance. (3) SIRI BLUE CHIP won't likely get the same easy pace trip as last week. I'll use her underneath in this tougher spot.

Race 7: 5YO and Younger NW4 or $65,000 LT AE: 4YO to be claimed for $40,000

(10) LINEDRIVE HANOVER has been outstanding since returning to the races in January and post 10 shouldn't slow him down here. A fourpeat looms. (5) SAULSBROOK VICTOR tried to go toe-to-toe with the choice is the Snowshoe final and he was swatted away on the last turn. He did well to hold 2nd, however, and he looks next best here, too. (6) DR JOE has been producing some fast kickers to get in the money lately; using underneath. (1) TEXAS MIKI will likely be fighting for scraps here facing tougher tonight.

Race 8: Pop Up 2nd Leg

(4) TWIN B LAKER only notched one win last year but he comes off a sharp effort, moves into the Barrington barn and lands in a spot where his late rally should play well; top call. (6) FARMERS TAN is capable of a big front-end try and Filion got a test drive in last week; speed blast coming tonight? (3) HARRY G blasted, yielded, tripped out and eked out a win. He is an obvious contender but I can see him getting overbet here; your call. (1) SIGHTS ON YOU raced okay when claimed by Auciello last week. He should be in the exotics mix here.

Race 9: NW $8,000 L5 or $18,000 L10 AE: NW5 LT - Pick 4

(8) CAPTAIN VIDEO got an aggressive steer last time he raced this low and he took a win. This looks like a good spot for him to do the same and he gets the nod. (3) NO FREE LUNCH was given an easy trip in his first start back after missing seven months and he rallied well late. He can contend here if he gets put into the race this time. (5) STONEBRIDGE REX is dangerous with his speed, especially if allowed to take a lonely lead; using. (1) REAGAN BLUE CHIP should be good for another small share starting from the rail.

Race 10: Pop Up 2nd Leg

(2) DAY DELIGHT couldn't repel the pocket-sitter last week but that was a good effort and he should be the one to catch here again. (1) FINKLE IS EINHORN goes for Auciello off the claim and he figures to be the main threat to the choice here; using. (4) ARTISTIC PICK was one-paced in the lane chasing the eventual winner last week. Another slice is likely for him here. (6) TWO FOR TRIPPING is a good one to use on the bottom of Tris and Supers in this spot.

Race 11: Horses Who Starter in a Pop Up Event Who Are NW $67,000 in 2021-2022

This is a good betting race with several live chances. (4) CHAMPAGNE PHIL couldn't be any sharper and Jamieson is a good partner for him. He should get an honest pace to chase and he gets the nod. (8) INTRIGUED AGAIN used his good gate speed to work out a nice trip and shade the choice last week. He should be prominent again tonight. (5) CAPITANO ITALIANO has been right there for several weeks and if he gets the better trip tonight, he can knock off the top two; using. (6) BELIEVE IN BRIAN totally tripped out behind a speed duel on Monday night to win going away when claimed. He seems destined for a smaller slice facing tougher tonight.

Race 12: NW $13,000 L5 or $25,000 L10 AE: OPT CLM $35,000

(7) UNDRTHSOUTHRNSUN N drops and likely pops against this easier group tonight. (6) ROCKME ROLLME tried it on the front end when favored last week and he couldn't last. Perhaps he will be at his sharpest now with two 2022 starts under his belt; using. (4) LONG WEEKEND A rarely misses the Tri as his potent early speed puts him in good position. He should get another good share here. (3) NICKLE BAG moves back up off a string win. A smaller share is likely for him in this spot. (8) CHIEFS BEACH should be rallying late to make it into the High-5.
