Race 1: 5YO and Younger NW2 (F&M3) or $31,000 LT **Gtd. $100,000 Pick 5**

(4) SHES BEER LEAGUE trotted a nice back 1/2 in her most recent start and I can see her rallying past these late if she is a bit closer at the head of the lane; slight nod. (1) CM SAVEWILL GL dropped and popped. He fits well here; using. (5) BRASH LADY is capable of better than she showed last week. She should be better here coming back quicker; another in with a shot. (3) MUSCLE ENVY got the job done facing much easier; small share predicted here.

Race 2: 5YO and Younger NW1 or $7,000 LT

(1) ALCINA trotted a big back 1/2 in defeat to a class dropper last week and she should graduate tonight. (10) GIVE ME KARETS K looked good in his comeback race and he could provide some value in the exotics starting from the widest post. (3) THE GREAT RESET has hit the board in 2/3 of his starts and he can land in the Tri here. (2) SAYONARA ANGEL is another that figures to take a smaller share, rounding out the Tri or Super.

Race 3: F&M CLM HDCP $12,000 to $15,000 for NW $57,500 LT

(7) P L OOOOOOOOOOYAH is razor sharp and she will be hard to beat racing off the claim and picking up the leading driver, who set a new Mohawk Park record here Monday night winning 8 of the 10 races. (1) DALI CAT is having a good year and she is 2-for-2 since being claimed by Kerr. She can be an Exacta factor here. (5) RMISSASHLEE rallied for 3rd behind the choice last week and she can take another slice. (6) SUNSHINE SALLY set the pace again and will probably stick around to land in the bottom of the exotics.

Race 4: 5YO and Younger NW1 or $7,000 LT Pick 4

(6) JUJU HANOVER rallied wide as the pace accelerated last week and now he returns quicker and draws best; top call. (3) BRYDOWN LOUIE likely needed last week's race which can serve as a speed tightener; using. (10) SERIOUS DRAGON closed mildly into a strong late pace last week and he is worth using at a price here. (7) DON'T POKE THE BEAR will likely be favored here and he is one that will have to beat me after getting 33 chances and taking 18 slices so far.

Race 5: Claiming $15,000 to $18,000 for NW $32,000 LT

(4) TOUCHEM ALL JOE paced a big mile uncovered on the rim and now he draws better. He should have a big shot vs. these. (6) PEP IN MY STEP arrives from Ottawa razor-sharp, switches barns, draws best and adds Lasix. He figures to be the main threat racing on or near the lead. (3) BLUEMOON BAYAMA was favored in the Popup series last week and he will take action here on the drop into a claimer. He is another to consider for multi-race tickets, but I wonder if he will get over bet. (8) THE TWIST can close late to take another small share here.

Race 6: 5YO and Younger NW2 (F&M3) or $31,000 LT Pick 5

(7) KABOOM NL brings a good record with her from the Netherlands and she goes for the top barn while picking up the leading driver; top call. (8) STORM TROTTER made a nice wide move late but he was unlucky as the winner saved all the ground and slipped up the pylons. This improving gelding should be in the mix again tonight. (1) MUSCLE UP THE GOLD trotted a 55 3/5 back 1/2 now he gets a new conditioner. He is 0-for-2022, but possible in this spot. (2) LILYS LASS raced decently from the 10-hole last week and she should be in the exotics mix here.

Race 7: 2YO Colts and Geldings NW1 or $10,000 Pick 4

$70,000 Harrisburg buy (4) WARRAWEE YANKEE lands in a good spot for his debut and he showed enough late zip in his qualifier on 12/2 to indicate that he is ready; top call. (7) THE WILL TO PLAY was better in his second start and Macdonald picked him over another in here. He would be no surprise tonight. (5) CHESAPEAKE SUNRISE adds Lasix and I see him as a contender for a decent share. (2) NO CONTROL brought only $9,000 as a yearling but he looks like he has some promise based on his lone qualifier; using underneath.

Race 8: F&M CLM HDCP $12,000 to $15,000

(5) CLODAM BAYAMA arrives sharp and she is capable in this spot. I like Roy as a partner for her and she gets top billing. (8) SUNSHINEINMYPOCKET, claimed by Moreau, is sure to be blasting for the front early and she will have to be caught; using. (7) LITTLEBEARCAT has done well for owner/trainer/driver Desroche and she will be coming late again; using underneath. (6) MY DAY is in solid form but likely to close late for another slice.

Race 9: CLM $15,000 to $18,000 for NW $69,500 LT

I'll lean to the two horses that were claimed last week, (8) TOUGHSONOFABEACH and (9) HES REALLY KEEN. Nod goes to the former, who typically shows more tactical speed. (2) BELECHICK ships in from Flamboro in great form and he has won close to 1/3 of his starts so far in 2022. His good late kick should get him a share. (10) YARM likely closes for a small slice starting from the worst post today.

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

This looks like a race that McNair will control from the outset with (9) MAJOR ON THE BEACH; top call. (2) ROCKINMYDREAM, racing off the Moreau claim, is the other leaver in here that should be a threat. (4) UPGRADE VALLEY has been racing well in the new barn and he is worth using on late multi-race tickets tonight; using. (7) THANKYAVERYMUCH should be passing rivals late and he is in the exotics mix here. (1) ALWAYS N THE MONEY rarely misses a check. Consider using him on the bottom of the Super and High-5.
