Race 1: F&M 4YO and Younger NW 1 or $7,000 LT **$100,000 Guaranteed Pick 5**

(6) STORMONT BARBECUE gets Henry for a return drive and he got the filly off the gate decently from the 9-hole now they draw the best post. A speed try should be coming vs. this group. (2) ANNA BOLENA raced evenly in a race where the winner was very strong and she should move up in this spot; using. (5) ALL R WISHES exits the same race as Anna Bolena and she finished ahead of that rival but she seems one-paced and I'll use her underneath. (1) ROSE OF TRALEE is likely to sit a trip and land in the bottom of the Tri or Super.

Race 2: 2YO Fillies NW1 LT

(3) WATCH HER DANCE is a homebred 1/2-sister to 1:50 1/5 pacer Save Me A Dance and she looks primed for a debut win here off her sharp Gaitway Farm qualifier. (4) AMERICAN TICKET, a $37,000 Lexington Sale purchase, is a 1/2-sister to local filly Free Flying Ticket who was a winner of a $72K OSS Gold race in her debut in 1:52 1/5. This filly has licence to be much faster than she has shown so far; using. (5) NICOLE AND DIME is a 1/2-sister to last year's Canadian Horse of The Year Century Farroh. The $92,000 Harrisburg Sale buy is in with a chance here on debut. (7) STONEBRIDGE THALIA is coming to this debut race in good order and she should be good for a share.

Race 3: 2YO NW1 LT

(9) WORLD AT WAR DEO, a $70,000 Lexington Sale buy, is a 1/2-brother to 1:51 2/5 trotter Perfect Alliance and he looks as good as any in this crapshoot of two-year-old trotters all making their debuts. (8) GRACE looked good winning her qualifier on an off track last Friday and The Stable likes to win early. She should be heard from. (1) ROSE RUN XCENTRIC flashed big late speed in her lone qualifier and McClure should have her closing late tonight. She is another Pick 5 possibility. (7) ESPLOSIONE likely has more speed than you see from his one qualifier and he could add some value to the exotics.

Race 4: CLAIMING $17,500 for NW $25,000 LT - Pick 4

(7) BRILLIANT CORNERS faltered as the chalk last week when dropped into a claimer now he moves into the hot Auciello barn. Immediate sharp improvement is likely; top call. (9) CHIK MAGUIRE and (8) FRONTIER CRUISE both passed the choice in the final 1/4 and they are the ones that are logical if the choice should falter again. (6) BIGMACHWITHCHEESE can go better here if he behaves and he is a good one to use on the bottom.

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

(5) NORTHERN BACCARAT couldn't keep pace with a winner that was ready to pace a vicious mile last week. He looks solid vs. these. (6) LANCASTER BOMBER was bet like he couldn't lose, but he too came up against a very sharp rival that paced a wicked final 5/16ths of a mile. This race should come down to these two. (2) BETTORS AUTHORITY comes out of the same race as the choice and while he could improve here, he will likely find the two choices a bit too tough. (7) TUFFENUFTOWEARPINK is worth a look for the bottom of the exotics with the good gate speed he showed last week.

Race 6: F&M 4YO and Younger NW1 or $7,000 LT - Pick 5

(6) HADIKNOWNBETTER had designs on the front leaving the gate last week but she got hung out four-wide into the first turn, then she lacked room for most of the stretch drive. She has a good chance to wire these leaving from the best post. (8) RUBYS ARE NICE raced decently first-over against a winner that was unyielding and she looks next best in here. (3) FUZZY ANGEL rode a good trip to a high placing last time and she is a logical contender for at least a share. (1) EDGEWATER is capable of grabbing a share if she stays flat tonight.

Race 7: F&M 4YO and Younger NW1 or $7,000 LT

(3) VOLUPTUOUS was no match late for a strong winner last week but that was a solid effort, she gets post relief here and she can be sharper in this second start back; top call. (2) JENNA WATCH gets a barn change here and a drop down to face maidens and she rates a long look having already won in April. (7) NORTHERN LUXURY paced a nice final 1/4 on debut at Georgian Downs and she should be passing some of these fillies in the back 1/2; consider for the exotics. (4) WINDSONG QUINN is another that should be passing a few late and she might sneak into the Super tonight.

Race 8: 4YO and Younger NW2 (F&M3) or $20,000 (F&M $25,000) - Pick 4

(2) ROYAL TYRONE gets driver Macdonald after trainer Ryan drove him to an even finish in his sophomore debut and he can beat these with a more aggressive steer. (4) MAGIC WANDA was flying late but she ran out of racetrack. She rates highly in this spot. (9) HP RUNNING MASS rode a good trip and a smart drive to victory last week now he moves to a wide post. He is an obvious threat to repeat but I wouldn't take a short price. (5) THREADS OF SILK faces tougher but she can grab a share for a hot barn.

Race 9: Starters for $15K Claiming or Less in One of Last 4 Who are NW of $75K

(5) PORTRSTOWNCHRIS IR was used hard early and he paid the price late last week. Moving to the middle of the gate gives him more options and he gets the nod to bounce back here. (8) MAINTENANCE MAN made two moves, looked like a winner but got picked off late. He is a viable contender here. (2) CHIEFS BEACH capitalized on a slowing late pace to get up for the win but I'm not sure he gets the same setup tonight; using underneath. (1) RADLEY HANOVER took heavy action and raced okay last week. He will be passing horses late again and he's not out of this.

Race 10: 4YO and Younger NW1 or $7,000 LT

(3) DEWY DEO got a clean line and produced a good closing effort last week now it's go time for the $75,000 Lexington Sale purchase as his connections likely have sights on some stakes races. (6) WARAWEE WINDSOR had a good rookie campaign and he looks set for a good try here in his sophomore debut; using. (9) EMERALD WINGS is related to five that have all raced and they all have won. Macdonald has been winning with everything. Give this colt a look on debut. (8) ARLANDA raced decently after he recovered from breaking stride and he's worth a look for the bottom of the exotics.

Race 11: 4YO and Younger NW2 or $15,000 LT

(2) UNCONTROLLABLE has been knocking heads with a colt that has won 5 of his last 8 starts now he gets into what should be a softer spot. He should take beating here. (1) CENTURY HANNIBAL is in great form and he figures to be the main danger. (7) PLAY ROCK should improve tonight having had a race over the track; using underneath. (3) ISLAND BEACH BOY is capable of better but he is likely to take another small share in this spot. (5) BIG BANG BANG gets major post relief and he is another that can wake up and crack the exotics.
