Race 1: 5YO and Younger winners of 1 or $7,000 LT **Gtd. $100,000 Pick 5**

Tough race here with so many of them showing gait issues. Sure gaited (5) SAYONARA ANGEL might outlast them, and you know she won't get bet much; price play. I like (4) WARRAWEE YAMA's qualifier for this sophomore debut. She can be right there if she stays trotting. (6) TITAN FLAX S raced okay in his 2023 debut. He is another in with a shot in a wide-open race. (8) BARROOM BRAWL BOYS, who one of only two winners in this field (the choice being the other) could go a long way on the engine vs. these.

Race 2: ONTARIO SPRINGS SERIES TROT for 3YO Fillies 2nd leg

(4) MATCH MEIF YOU CAN chased down loose leader (2) MUSCLING VEGAS who had no excuse after cutting a 1:00 flat 1/2 last week and the former gets the call to repeat here. I wonder if the latter will look for a helmet to follow tonight. She is still a threat. (8) HP EXTRA ICE got a needed clean line, and I could see her being driven more aggressively now. She is another in with a shot. (7) WARRAWEE YAY closed for 2nd in the faster division last week. She is in the exotics mix again.

Race 3: F&M CLM HDCP $12,000 to $15,000

(6) THE IDEAL HUNTRESS drops to a likely spot here and she should pop and she'll also probably attract a claim. (4) BEAUTY IS BLIND went a tough trip in defeat last week. She should be a threat right back. (7) NIMAH FRANCO N had live legs closing along the pylons late last week and she is in the exotics mix here. (5) ROCKINWITHCUSTARD tripped out to win and she will probably be an underlay tonight. I'll play to beat her.

Race 4: 5YO and Younger NW2 (F&M4) or $20,000 LT AE: NW $1K in 2023 - Pick 4

(5) OCEANVIEW MASSEY made a big move to win his sophomore debut at a price. He should take more action now, but he has a good chance to repeat starting from one of the best posts. (8) MVN was too far back last week. He gets Roy here and I can see him laying much closer to the front early in the mile; using. (6) HORN PLAYER is fast enough to beat these if she stays flat but last week's break in stride is concerning; your call. (4) PC LIVINGADREAM was DQ'ed for a pylon violation last week but that was a good effort, and she is another in with a chance here.

Race 5: ONTARIO SPRINGS SERIES PACE for 3YO Fillies 2nd leg

(5) ELISES DELIGHT gets off the rail which should mean she gets better positioning which is likely all she needs to take a win tonight; top call. (4) DEWITT THIS MOMENT came off a useful tightener to wire a field that included the choice last week. Price is gone now but she is a contender nonetheless. (7) NO MONEY HONEY likely needed last week's race after missing some time. She is worth using at a price tonight. (8) MIST AMBER can close for another small share.

Race 6: 5YO and Younger NW1 or $7,000 LT - Pick 5

(9) QUICK FIX had lots of trot but even more traffic in the lane last week and I could see him making front and leading all the way at a price tonight; top call. (7) DEADLINE HALL qualified well for this sophomore debut and Bax puts a catch driver up which may signal immediate intent; using. (2) SOUTHWIND CERVEZA will likely go favored coming off a strong effort where she was out a long way. She is definitely in the mix. (4) ELECTRO LONG LEGS can sit a trip racing near the front again and land another share.

Race 7: ONTARIO SPRINGS SERIES PACE for 3YO Fillies 2nd leg - Pick 4

(6) CHEDDA CHEDDA was asked to do the near impossible in the opening leg and she almost pulled it off. I think Roy gets more aggressive with her earlier in the mile tonight and she rebounds with a win. (5) TESLA POWER popped out just in time on the far turn and was the subject of an inquiry, but she was left up. She should get another good trip racing near the front and she should be the main threat. (8) WIFEY SAID SO got a perfect trip and blew up the tote board. Price will still be decent if you are sticking with her. I prefer to use her underneath. (2) OH GOUDA will likely flash speed and stick around for a slice again.

Race 8: 5YO and Younger NW2 (F&M4) or $20,000 LT AE: NW $1,000 in 2023

This is a field that (4) ALL STAR YANKEE should beat, and trainer Macintosh typically has them ready to fire coming off the bench. A repeat of his qualifier probably wins this. (7) NO TURNING BACK didn't start his closing move early enough last week and he fell short. He can be an Exacta factor here. (5) ALCINA stole a minute opening 1/2 and still almost got picked off. She's one that I'll fade in this spot. (8) DELCREST BRENT can close from the back for another slice here.

Race 9: 5YO and Younger claiming $35,000

(1) DAY AT THE GYM got hammered at the windows last week and looked good on the lead until late in the mile. I'll go back to him here expecting a better price and different trip. (4) BELLA CAVALLA wore the choice down and held off the backfield. That was a solid effort, and she is an obvious threat. (5) CLEVELAND MASSIMO should appreciate the short field tonight and he is one you have to also consider for late multi-race tickets. (2) FLYING FORMATION can round out another Super.

Race 10: F&M CLM HDCP $8,000 to $12,000

(8) BOOKIE BABY gets the call to repeat coming off a strong first up win vs. similar here last week. (7) LATTE SEELSTER was no match for the choice now she goes for Moreau off the claim. She should be the main threat here. (1) CRANBERRY BRIE is capable vs. these and getting McNair won’t hurt; using. Win machine (4) E R RHONDA races off the Menary claim but has a driver listed that is making his first start in Canada. I'll use her underneath.

Race 11: CLM HDCP $8,000 to $10,000

(7) DO YOU SEE IT made an incredible sustained wide move to beat most of these last week and he gets the call to repeat off that effort. (4) ARTISTIC PICK, nailed by the choice late, figures to be the main threat again here. (9) MALVOLIO was out forever, and he still managed to get a share. He is in the mix tonight racing off the McQueen claim. (10) THUNDERING JIM will likely close from far back and land in the bottom of the Super or High-5. (5) MACH IMPACT is better than he showed last week, and he is worth using in the exotics with Henry in the bike tonight.
