Race 1: F&M NW $5,400 or NW $10,000 L10 **$100,000 GTD Pick 5**

(6) POWERFUL CHRIS had a brief and unproductive 2020 campaign but she qualified well for this over a London track rated one second slow and if she fires fresh here, she should have a big shot racing at this level. (3) LADY ROCKNROLLA A almost lasted against tougher last week. She should be the one to catch tonight; using. (2) WINDSUN GLORY has a similar profile as the choice and she is another possibility here in a race that demands wide Pick 5 coverage. (1) FREE FLYIN TICKET made a big middle move that she couldn't sustain last time but she was still beaten less than two lengths. If she finds a live helmet this time, she can be right there.

Race 2: NW5 or $97.000 LT

(4) CAPTAIN VIDEO paced another big mile uncovered on the rim to get shaded right on the wire by a rival that had a better trip. This race could come down to a battle between he and that same foe (6) BEYOND BETTER who came back sharp as a tack. I'll use both in the Pick 5. (1) COLD CREEK CABO impressively circled rivals and roared past late for a popular win at 1 to 5 but these are tougher and I'll use him underneath in this spot. (7) BEE TWO BEE wasn't far behind the top two last time and he should be closing for another share here.

Race 3: NW $5,000 L5 or $13,500 L10

(9) POINTOMYGRANSON drops and he should have a good chance of leading these all the way once he clears to the front; top call. (2) MAJOR HILL is the other one here dropping multiple class levels and he should be the main danger, especially if he can leave enough to sit in the choice's pocket. (6) BUTTER BAY HANOVER showed sharp pace late last week and he should be closing for another slice here. (1) PREMIER JOY A vaulted past the leaders late racing on a snow-covered track in a blizzard in what was a sharp performance but some of these are much tougher and I'll use him on the bottom.

Race 4: NW $3,000 L5 or $7,000 L10 - Pick 4

(8) NATIONAL SPORT had two starts back now he faces considerably easier. You have to think Roy will get more aggressive in this spot; top call. (6) FREDDY BEAR had come back in top form and he should be an Exacta factor in this spot. (2) BRONSONS DELIGHT is another facing easier but I prefer to use him underneath tonight. (3) DREAMY FELLA should be passing a few of these late; consider for the bottom of Tri and Super wagers.

Race 5: NW $8,500 L5 or $17.500 L10 AE: OPT CLAIMING $25,000

(2) DONATOVER was flying late last week and he should have plenty of early speed to chase in this race; slight nod in a race full of options. (6) FLY BEYOND jumped up several level off a win last time and from a bad post he took a check. He has a much better chance here; using. (3) BUZZ was picked off very late by a classy stablemate last week. He should be the one to catch here again. (8) HOCKEY HANOVER is going well for a barn that has them all ready and he can take another slice at a price.

Race 6: F&M NW $27,500 L5 or NW $175,000 LT - Pick 5

(1) IVANA FLYBYE N looked good rolling past the leaders last week and she gets a slight nod to repeat in a well-matched field that offers several viable options. (3) BETTER B DONNA is right there every week and she could fall into a great trip here leaving from an inside post; using. (8) HELLO LOVE is sharp and she is likely to get overlooked again tonight; using. (6) SWIFT ALLY is another who is in great form but she hasn't won in a while and this is no easy spot. I'll use her on the bottom.

Race 7: CLAIMING HANDICAP $25,000 to $30,000 - Pick 4

(6) MILITARY SECRET got hammered at the windows last week racing off the claim but nothing went right. Claimed again that night by Auciello, I'll give him the nod this week. (4) JULERICA can be very good or very ordinary the key is to catch him on his very good cycle. His 2/25 qualifier hints that he could come back firing and I'll toss him in late multi-race tickets. (7) JEWELS DRAGON likely won't get the same trip he enjoyed on the engine last week, but he is still an obvious threat coming in off that sharp win. (8) RAYS KREDIT is a good one to use on the bottom of Tri and Super bets.

Race 8: NW $25,000 L5 or $30,000 L10 or NW $155,000 LT AE: OPT CLM $55,000

(3) LEGION SEELSTER got to stretch his legs for the first time in more than seven months last week and he raced decently. Now he gets to move inside and picks up last year's leading dash winner in the bike. There is lots to like here; top call. (1) EAST END gets away from red-hot Wheels On Fire this week and he should be right there vs. this group. (4) ROCKME ROLLME steps up in class tonight but he comes off a sharp win and he should contend again tonight while offering a much better price. (2) MONGOLIAN HERO N moves back inside here and he could sneak into the Tri or Super at a price.

Race 9: 5YO and Younger NW3 or $67,000 LT

(1) GOING FAST produced an excellent effort in his first start back but no one was holding off a steamrolling 1 to 5 shot that would not be denied. He fits well here and he has a big shot. (5) CROSSCUT lands in an easier spot here and he should be heard from tonight facing NW3. He's on my multi-race tickets. (6) DRAGON ROARS AGAIN finished 3rd behind the choice last week now he gets post improvement. A win isn't out of the question for him in this spot. (4) BIG SIR can come on late to take another small share.

Race 10: NW $14,000 L5 or $22,000 L10 AE: OPT CLAIMING $30,000

(7) POINTS NORTH drops back to the level where he was narrowly beaten two starts back and he should be looking to control this race from the outset; top call. (6) HIGHLANDBEACHLOVER has been passing horses late every week and I can see him beating these if he is close enough at the 3/4 pole. (2) TRACEUR HANOVER is better than he showed last week and he could trip out near the front this week; price look. (1) REAL WILLEY is another who can leave fast then sit a nice inside trip here. He should be part of the Super. (9) BETTOR B GOING was razor-sharp last week but this is a big step up and he draws worst; small share predicted.
