Race 1: Claiming $17,500 for NW $39,500 LT **Guaranteed $100,000 Pick 5**

(3) RICOTTABKIDDINME drops back into a claimer where he fits best and he picks up Roy, who has been hot to start the year; top call. (1) ROCKNROLLS SHADOW lacked room early in the stretch and then he finished evenly. He should be a threat in here; using. (5) NEED AROCKET returns for Auciello and he drops in for a tag. His 28 1/5 kicker from his qualifier makes him interesting. (6) PRETTY BOY DUKE seems better suited to the B tracks and he is likely to get over bet again tonight. I'll play to beat him.

Race 2: 4YO and Younger NW1 or $7,000 LT

(1) MAISYS MUSCLES is likely to get pounded tonight off her troubled trip last week where she was crying out for room but couldn't find any until deep stretch, then finished fastest. She should be hard to beat here. (4) MAKIN MAGIC TONITE is the obvious alternative having finished ahead of the choice last week. (3) WHOLE NINE YARDS finished behind the two choices last week and he likely rallies for another small share here. (5) RESOLUTIONS will likely revert to a closing style and he is worth using on the bottom of Tri and Super bets.

Race 3: NW $36,000 in 2021-2022

(3) JCS ROYAL TEASE had the misfortune of drawing the 10-hole twice straight and now he gets a much better draw. He is capable of better and he has a good chance to show it here; slight nod. (7) HOLDIN ACES produced a nice late charge last week and he looks like one of the best ones in here; using. (10) TUCKERS OUT stayed flat last week and he was best of the rest chasing a dominant winner home. He can contend here despite drawing widest. (6) KING OF MAGIC regularly shares and he should be part of the Tri or Super tonight.

Race 4: Claiming $17,500 for NW $39,500 LT Pick 4

(7) BLUE MONK did all the heavy lifting last week but he was nailed late. He is consistent racing at this level and he gets the nod here. (1) SLICK N SPORTY grinded out a game win against the choice and he is the one to fend off tonight. (5) BELIEVE IN BRIAN was given a perfect Sorrie steer to get up for a narrow win, but his good tactical speed puts him square in the picture with these; using. (3) DETERMINED was taking regular shares out of town and he is worth using on the bottom of the exotics.

Race 5: NW $3,000 L5 or $8,000 L10

(9) STONEBRIDGE REX drops and gets McNair back tonight. A big speed try is expected; top call. (5) POINTOMYGRANSON is a drop-and-pop specialist and he is the other one that is a must-use for me on multi-race tickets. (4) REAGAN BLUE CHIP has improving from and he should be good for another share tonight. (10) RESPECT OUR FLAG might be rated higher had he drawn better. From out there, he likely finishes on the fringes.

Race 6: 4YO and Younger NW3 or $20,000 (F&M $30,000) LT Pick 5

(6) TYMAL TEMPO was 1-5 when he beat maidens and he should have a good chance stepping up one level tonight. (7) HANG ON BABY produced a big late move to win in his local debut and he has to be considered off that impressive mile. (3) WICKENBURGH was caught late by one that would be one of the favorites if he were in this race, but that loss ran his record to 1 for 20. He can win this, but I wouldn't take a short price. (5) ROYAL TYRONE is another one that just missed that should be in the mix here.

Race 7: F&M 5YO and Younger NW2 or $15,000 LT Pick 4

(4) WINDY REPORT has finished well two starts in a row and she looks best here; top call. (2) MIA BEACH, a $27,000 Ontario Select sale buy, is a 1/2-sister to local 10-time winner Mia Culpa. She indicated in her January 28 effort that she is ready to roll and she is worth a look at first asking. (8) SNOAH raced okay in her local debut chasing a strong winner home and she is another in with a chance here. (6) COME ROLL WITH ME's good tactical speed makes her hard to toss in a race that looks wide-open. She could do if she gets a covered trip this week.

Race 8: Wine and Roses Trotting Series 1st Leg Fillies and Mares NW $60,000 as of 10/31/2021

(2) BCS ROSE chased home a winner that was recording his third blowout victory in a row and now she is back in with her own gender in a much easier spot. She should be tough in here. (8) EQUINOX ANNIE was Macdonald's choice of three in here and her good gate speed should put her into the race leaving; Exacta factor. (7) DRAVEN HANOVER's comeback race was decent. She should be good for another share vs. these. (6) STONEBRIDGE STRONG should be good for a small share passing rivals late; using underneath.

Race 9: F&M CLM HDCP $8,500 to $12,000

(7) VINES TO HEAVEN absolutely jogged in the claiming stakes final and she was taken by trainer Moreau, who has won seven races in the past with this gal. She is strictly the one to beat here. (2) MOONLITEBEACH got a tough trip from a bad post in that race. She could improve sharply in this spot; upset chance. (5) ERIKAS SHADOW is another that didn't get a great trip, but I prefer to use her underneath tonight. (6) COCO BEACH DE VIE faces tougher coming off a narrow win; small share predicted.

Race 10: F&M Claiming $15,000 for NW $41,000 LT or NW 1 in Last 10 Starts

(6) NOTHINGCOMPARESTOU handled similar here last week and she is in peak form right now; call to repeat. (5) BAYWATCHING had a tough trip and she stayed game. She can be right there vs. these if she gets a better trip tonight; using. (3) ANCHOR SO REEL should be flying late again and she isn't out of this. (10) COUNTERCURRENCY is back with conditioned claimers and that's where she does best. She is worth a price look for the exotics here. (8) KAYLIES REAL takes frequent small shares and she is a good one to use on the bottom.
