Race 1: F&M 4YO and Younger NW1 or $8,000 **Guaranteed $100,000 Pick 5**

(6) WILDCAT STAR showed some late interest as the pace picked up in her debut and I'll give her the nod looking for a price to kick of the Pick 5. (2) WINDY REPORT got closer in her second start and she is the likely favorite and one to beat retaining hot leading driver Macdonald. (1) COME ROLL WITH ME is in a better spot here and she should contend for at least a share. (8) WINDSUN SHIRAZ finished well but he was still more than four lengths behind Windy Report; another small share predicted.

Race 2: Pop Up Event 2nd Leg Fillies and Mares

(2) CLODAM BAYAMA converted as the big chalk last week and in this short field more of the same is probably coming tonight. (3) CATCH AN ACE raced okay as the chalk in her division last week and she should be an Exacta factor now. (4) JMR MACH MEL produced a good late kick to finish 2nd to the choice and she should be closing for another share here. (6) KAT seems to fit okay vs. these. She could better this placing if she gets a good trip.

Race 3: CLM HDCP $8,000 to $10,000

(1) EMPTYTHETILL gets Macdonald in the bike here and he had choices. I'll give him the slight nod in a race where I don't have a strong opinion. (7) COOL ROCK gets a driver change tonight. Maybe Cullen can wake him up? Veteran (2) SPIDER MAN HANOVER has been racing well lately and that puts him in the conversation with these; using. (8) EAST BOUND EDDIE should close for a small share; consider for the bottom of the exotics.

Race 4: Pop Up Event 2nd Leg - Pick 4

(1) SHOULDAKNOWNBETTER closed to be only a length behind a winner that came back to win again on Monday night here. He can lay closer here and beat these. (6) WICKENBURGH raced well last week considering that he had missed more than a month. He should be dangerous tonight. (8) PROFOUND PARAGON gets a crucial driver change that makes him worth a look for multi-race tickets. (9) GREAT MAGIC blew up the tote board last week but the surprise factor is gone now and he moves to the worst post; using underneath.

Race 5: Claiming $17,500 for NW $40,000 LT

(8) BLUE MONK looks to win twice this week after wiring a Pop Up Consolation on Monday night and this spot doesn't look much tougher; call to repeat. (2) YOURTHEONE gets post relief tonight after racing well in his first start at this level. He should be the main danger. (10) PARTYINTHESHADOWS took a share despite getting a long trip last week. He can be dangerous here at a price if he works out an easier trip. (1) MIDNIGHT MOOD has been used hard in two straight. From the rail tonight, I see him taking a following trip and coming on for a share.

Race 6: 4YO and Younger NW1 or $7,000 AE 2YO who are NW2 LT - Pick 5

(4) MAKIN MAGIC TONITE took some action in her debut but she blew up while making a move. She picks up Roy here and I'll give her a slight nod in a wide-open race. This looks like a field that (8) KRYPTONITE can beat but he is 0 for 21. What price would you accept? (2) ROSE ABOVE IT gets J Mac and he has been winning with everything lately. He is hard to leave out in this field. (5) BETTINA HANOVER will likely close for another small share.

Race 7: Pop Up Event Consolation F&M - Pick 4

(2) WINE TYME drew two 10-holes in the first two legs of this series and she got used too hard. I'll side with her tonight expecting a square price. (6) NOTHINGCOMPARESTOU figures to be a threat racing on or close to the lead and she is on my multi-race tickets. (5) MARETRAFFICCONTROL gets a driver switch that is hard to ignore; using. (9) ALDREZDUP NOWRTGO raced better last week. She has upset potential in this spot.

Race 8: Pop Up Event 2nd Leg

(5) GP DREAMIN was the easiest winner at 3 to 5 last week and he is probably just too good for these. (3) LIFE IS A FEAST looks next best and he likely completes a chalky Exacta. (1) MAGICS WIZARD raced well to just miss last week but the top two choices in here are tougher; using on the bottom. (4) RYDGEMONT SON N can close for a piece of this if he stays flat tonight.

Race 9: Pop Up Event 2nd Leg F&M

(7) CRANBERRY BRIE took on the leader last week in the third 1/4 but she was repelled by that heavy favorite. A similar move can work vs. these; top call. (4) SHEMARS LADY HAVOC woke up with the driver change last week and she is a threat right back; using. (1) MISS ROCKADALI is better than she showed last week. Maybe returning to a 7-day cycle can make a difference; price look. (2) SIGNIFICANCE should be good for a small share racing from close range.

Race 10: Pop Up Event Final F&M

(9) BLACK BETTY has been too good for these so far and she should complete the series sweep if she has clear sailing late. (7) P L ORCHID has shown improvement in each start here and she has an upset chance here if the choice gets mired in traffic; using. (1) EMMY LOU HAYES was bet like she couldn't lose and she converted despite having been off a month. She should be a threat here. (2) DELIMAS is another improving sort that should get at least a share here. (4) IM CHIARA never gets bet and she frequently lands in the exotics. I'll use her on the bottom.
