Race 1: PURE IVORY 2 YO TROTING FILLIES LEG 2 **Pick 5 $100k Guaranteed Pool**

(1) COOL MA BELLE is logical after ten post debut win for top connections. Short field will help her and (6) DRAW THE LINE who was saddled with a nine hole in the other division of this series 7/20. She kicked 27 1/5 from a tough spot and should improve. Odds likely will now be lower. (3) SOUTHERN MONI has a win on her card in an overnight race. Solid try vs chalk in leg one. (2) BABY BE MY LOVE improved second out from wide draw. Well-bred type should be closer to the pace here.

Race 2: MILLARD FARMS 2 YO TROTING COLTS AND GELDINGS LEG 2

(4) SEND IT IN HANOVER has been awesome so far in two starts. Beat nice one in Leg one, now will be a micro price. (2) DRYDEN HANOVER made a big move on 7/27 in start number two only to tire late. Driver sticks looking for similar setup. (1) STRUTTIN YANKEE prepped at Vernon then went down the road here in leg one. That division was far slower so may need more to compete vs choice here. (7) ROYAL BELUGA comes out of a blowout qualifier on 7/21. McClure could blast from this post if this one is live.

Race 3: PURE IVORY 2 YO TROTING FILLIES LEG 2

(2) COLD SNAPS looms large with her speed and experience here. Took control early in leg one and never looked like a loser. Speed coming again from her. (6) VANJIE BLUE CHIP raced well in leg one after (4) STUBBORN CHEE busted in the slop. I'd expect McNair to be aggressive here with her from the outside post while Macdonald looks to get Chee back on track. Those two need to be used in multi race wagers. (3) WINNING ALLIANCE has taken money for Bax in both starts. She's not out of this depending on trip.

Race 4: 5 YO and Younger NW 1 Race or $7000 Life - Pick 4

(9) TYRONE BOW TIE had a lot of trouble on 7/27 from a wide draw and finished up well. Price won’t be 71-1 now, will need to rally again to be effective. (2) WINOOSKI is a logical one to get out of this class soon, but she's hard to trust with 0/18 record. Chased chalk in last but made no impression. (1) PRINCE ARCHIE took money vs these in that race from tough post. Has a win in four starts and speed to gain position. (8) SAYONARA ANGEL is the ultimate share type. Gets checks every week at huge odds.

Race 5: 2 YO Colts & Geldings: NW 1 RACE or $7500 Lifetime

(8) CHIVALRY SEELSTER tried two Golds for Moore and had tough trips. 7/28 overnight suited better and he just missed. Speed coming again just needs to hold off stablemate (7) STORM SHADOW. That one improved almost six seconds in second qualifier and was chasing a Gold winner on 7/31. (2) BE RIGHT THERE has been solid in three starts so far with 26 4/5 kick on 7/21. Could be close enough to win late with a setup. (10) CAPESSH showed ability on 7/21 at Grand River making up ten lengths. Post hurts, may need to pass them all here.

Race 6: 5 YO and Younger NW 2 Races or $20000 Life - Pick 5

I liked (6) DEALERS DELITE in last and he raced well. Made an early move to follow the favorite then couldn't get free late. I’m thinking he's put in play early here. (2) BRACE FOR LANDING needed that race on 7/27 and made a move to get into contention before tiring. If he stays flat he’s in play here. (3) FATHER DANIELS improved in last with an early speed try. If he's close early, needs more late to contend. (4) SMASHING RACQUETS is racing well and taking money vs Grassroots types. 6/22 win needs respected.

Race 7: WHENUWISHUPONASTAR 2 YO PACING FILLIES LEG 2 - Pick 4

(5) ITS A LOVE THING was shot out of a cannon late on 7/21 in a Gold that featured a big favorite. She's shown the ability to pass horses in both starts. (2) STAYING WITH EMILY moves inside here after a win, then even try in Leg one. Her kick and gait play well here from better post. (7) REIGNING JADE was as advertised on 7/25 after a strong qualifier on 7/14. Tougher test from this draw vs these foes. (9) SINGINGINTHERAIN chased that one in leg one with 27 kick. She's getting checks vs stakes foes this year.

Race 8: MILLARD FARMS 2 YO TROTING COLTS AND GELDINGS LEG 2

(3) TOP MAST has been excellent so far just lost to toughie in latest. Short price and speed mission loom here. (5) FINITE is racing well in Golds just didn’t go until late on 7/27. Better post should help here. (1) GONE GOODBYE chased 'Senditin' in his first start then was solid 7/20 here in leg one. Another up close trip is possible. (2) PRIVATE ACCESS stayed flat and won well on 7/27 here. Barn consistently improves young horses.

Race 9: 2 YO Fillies: NW 1 RACE OR $7500 Lifetime

(6) BETTERWITHGLASSES lost to horse that repeated out of 7/13 race in a Gold. Nice win at Sarnia from off the pace on 7/22. (5) CENTURY KALIMBA has taken action in Golds and wasn't disgraced. She could be closer early vs this group. (1) GRANNYS WATCHING was a well driven winner first out in quick time. Using in multi-leg wagers. (3) BIARRITZ ships up for Takter after even qualifiers. May need a race to see best.

Race 10: 5 YO and Younger NW 2 Races or $20000 Life

(4) KINNDER THINKTWICE looks to lead these a long way again but from a better post. Needs separation because he doesn’t come home fast. (1) PROUD TO BE LINDY won at this condition on 7/6 then was in too tough. She's missed a little time but will be finishing late. (5) YANK MY HALO needed last and stayed flat. Finished in 27 3/5 from tough spot in last. (8) IM ABOVE AVERAGE finished well on 7/20 now missed a week. Toss 7/11 line and he looks much better. (7) OLIVIAS GOLDNUGGET is finishing up and grabbing checks at this level.
