Race 1: NW2 (F&M3) or $28,000 LT AE: 3YO and 4YO to be claimed for $35,000 **Gtd. $100,000 Pick 5**

(4) KABOOM NL tries a new barn and trotting hopples tonight and he qualified well with that equipment added; top call. (7) BUSY MAKING MONI trotted a sub-28 third 1/4 like a pro racing over a good track last week and he was never threatened from there on. He should contend right back. Five-time winner (1) DOWNSTAIRS PARTY gets Macdonald tonight and he should be heard from in this spot. (2) BELVEDERE BRONX made a late charge that was a bit too late last week. He can take another share here.

Race 2: F&M 5YO and Younger NW1 or $7,500 LT

(5) NO MONEY HONEY had a nice opener for a barn that has been heating up recently and she gets top billing in this second start. (6) DINNER AND DANCING looks well prepared for her sophomore debut for Team McNair. She is the other one that I'll use in the early Pick 5. (7) EDITORS CHOICE has potential to improve in this second start in a race that will likely be trotted slower than her debut race; using underneath. (4) LADY CHRISLYN is worth a look for the exotics on the barn change to Fellows.

Race 3: 5YO and Younger NW1 or $7,000 LT

(4) AXLROSE SEELSTER was better in his second start, and he got a needed clean line. He should get more aggressive now and he gets the nod. (3) DEVILS ARCH finally stayed flat in a race for a purse and he raced okay but neither he, nor anyone else could go with the winner who unleashed an explosive third 1/4 brush. He is in with a good shot here if he stays flat again. (6) DAISY DAY had an eventful trip after she broke last time. Her best race puts her right there with these. (10) SAYONARA ANGEL never gets bet but she finished 2nd in two in a row and she is worth using underneath.

Race 4: CLM HDCP $7,000 to $9,000 - Pick 4

(7) THANKYAVERYMUCH got bet down to 7 to 5 racing off the Lester claim last week but he was too far back to threaten. He drops now into a spot where he should get a setup for his late charge. (5) MIKES POWERHOUSE is racing great for a hot barn, and he is hard to leave off multi-race tickets. (2) MATTS TUITION had little racing first up last week now he drops to the bottom. He is another in with a shot. (8) WOODMERE ROLLNPOP should flash speed racing off the Waxman claim but he seems likely to finish in the bottom of the exotics.

Race 5: F&M CLM $7,000

(2) FURIOSA drops to the lowest claiming level for this return race, and she will almost surely get claimed so you have to think the current owners are looking to take the winner's purse too. (1) WOODMERE STELLA showed last week that she can leave quickly from the rail, and she can be an Exacta factor here. (4) GRITTY GRACIE fits well here and her most recent line is a toss because of the interference before the start. She can flash speed and take a share. (8) E R RHONDA always comes to play, and she should close late to land in the exotics.

Race 6: NW2 (FM3) or $28,000 LT AE: 3YO and 4YO to be claimed for $35,000 - Pick 5

(7) SOUTHWIND CHARDNAY was ambushed by a rival that trotted an explosive third 1/4 to crush the field last week. She fits well here, and I'll give her the nod. (4) GRATEFUL looked good breaking her maiden and she should be right there again tonight. (2) FLYING FORMATION is interesting coming back in three days. He is worth a look for the exotics. (1) MISSYS A SECRET stole a 1:04 1/5 middle 1/2 then outsprinted the pocket sitter. This is tougher and I'll use her on the bottom.

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

(2) CRYSTAL BALLER missed some time since winning his sophomore debut, but this race is no tougher and I will default to him for top pick. (9) CENTURY JAGUAR, 3rd to the choice in that race, should benefit from getting off the rail. He's the other one that I'll use on multi-race tickets. (7) ELECTRO LONG LEGS qualified well for this sophomore debut, and he has the speed to get position leaving the gate; using underneath. (1) HANDSOME HANK figures for another small share tonight.

Race 8: Claiming $7,000 for NW $3,400 L5 AE: NW $1,400 L3

(4) BLUEMOON BAYAMA gets a barn change here and returns to a 7-day cycle. Sharp improvement is expected; top call. (3) FOUR FOR ORR raced much better last week and he could be the one to catch here. (6) EAST BOUND EDDIE had a tough trip and he still hung on for 3rd last week. He is in the mix again. (5) TAKE THE DEAL is in easier and driver Jones has been hot recently; price look for the exotics.

Race 9: NW2 (F&M3) or $28,000 LT AE: 3YO and 4YO to be claimed for $35,000

(1) DUSTIN HANOVER was motoring late in his local debut, but he was too far back. With that start under his belt and returning quicker, he is the one to beat here. (7) MVN took all the action with the driver change to Filion and the money went up in flames when he broke before the start. He can win here if he stays flat; using. (4) COME HOME FOR LIFE drops and he should get put into this race early, but he could get overbet; your call. (2) R HOT TODDY tried the front last week, and he weakened very late in the mile. He will probably look for a helmet to follow tonight. I'll use him underneath.

Race 10: F&M CLM HDCP $12,000 to $15,000

(8) SUNSHINEINMYPOCKET ran up into a rival's wheel nearing the wire last week when trying to make room where it didn't exist, and she went down. She likely would have won that race if she had clear sailing and she gets top billing here with the driver switch to Macdonald. (10) ROCKINWITHCUSTARD figures to improve with the drop into a claimer; using. (3) LETSGO T paced a big back 1/2 to win at a big price and she is another that could win here. (1) LATTE SEELSTER is always in the exotics mix and she figures to round out the Tri or Super. (9) L A WOMAN faces tougher after recovering from a break to win. She can close for a small share here.
