Race 1: 4YO and Younger NW1 or $7,200 LT AE: NW1 in 2022 or Prospect starters **Gtd. $100,000 Pick 5**

(2) SEEKING SALVATION is consistent and sure-gaited and he may lead these all the way to take his maiden win. (1) GALA HALO, with three wins in her last five starts, should be the main danger. (6) SOUND ADVICE faces elders here, but she is good enough to threaten if she stays flat. (7) BARROOM BRAWL BOYS will flash his usual early speed and I can see him hanging on for a small share.

Race 2: 2YO Fillies NW1 or $7,800 LT

Wide-open race here and perhaps a rare occasion where we get a price on a Millar Farms/Gallucci/J Mac 2YO. I'll bite with (8) HAVING A PARTY, expecting at least 5 to 1. (5) CONTROLTHEDISTANCE got caught inside and stuck behind a stopper until the 1/8th pole last week and once free, she finished fast. She can improve sharply here with a better trip. (1) QUICK MENU has been hot recently at the 'B' tracks but she wasn't beating much. I'll use her underneath here. (2) SPLASH OF PINK always finishes well and she should be part of the Super.

Race 3: Grassroots starters 3YO Colts and Geldings AE: NW $35,000 LT

(7) ARMSTEAD COLE typically dominates when he faces Grassroots types and that is a likely scenario here. (6) RED OVERBACH has really caught fire lately and he has improved his overall speed. He could be a pocket rocket here and I'll use him in the Pick 5. (3) SEA CAN is another that has improved recently that should be in the mix but I prefer to use him underneath. (1) RENEGADE GYPSY should get position near the front early and ride it to a spot in the Tri or Super.

Race 4: Claiming $15,000 to $18,000 for NW $25,200 LT - Pick 4

(2) JOE KING made a nice late charge in Clinton on Sunday and I'll take a stab with him at a price in a race with no standout. (6) ALMOST THERE BOSS is in easier here and his speed should carry farther; using. (8) DARK MOVES is another that should show speed that can last longer in this spot; upset chance. (5) POWER OF AN ANGEL should be in the exotics mix racing off the Lester claim here.

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

(3) SWEETIES BEST BET was visually impressive breaking her maiden in her first start in a year and she could improve here; call to repeat. (4) IPANEMA HANOVER looked home free with a dream run up the pylons until the choice zoomed by. She is improving now and she should be the main threat here. (5) SPEAKTOYOURMANAGER was only a neck behind the choice last time and she should be part of the Tri again. (8) ARIZONA jogged in her debut at Kawartha Downs, but these are tougher and she draws worst; small share predicted.

Race 6: 2YO Fillies NW1 or $7,800 LT - Pick 5

(3) DANCE NUMBER took a lot of action last week and she raced well in defeat. I can see Henry sending her down the road tonight; top call. (1) FREESTARFLIGHT was also good in defeat when beaten by the 2 to 5 favorite. She is another in with a good chance here. (7) POWDER PLAY has done nothing wrong so far while taking two seconds in two tries. I prefer the top two choices over her, but she is an obvious threat. (2) ASHLEES SWEETIE took a check vs. Gold foes and she should be in the exotics here.

Race 7: NW $2,000 L3 or NW1 in L5 AE: OPT CLM $15,000 - Pick 4

(3) PRINCESSPARTYPANTS raced decently while first up in the Pop-Up series final and she looks best here. I expect a Mayotte backstretch brush to the front tonight. (1) HEAVENSDOR HANOVER outfinished the choice but he got a better trip that night. He should be the main threat. (8) COOL CLIFFORD will likely be pointed to the front again and he could get brave if he gets left unchallenged for a while; using. (2) SHOSIE DEO has been hot at the B tracks and he could take a share in this spot.

Race 8: F&M CLM HDCP $12,000 to $18,000

(5) BAYWATCHING can string several good races together when she is sharp and I see her leading all the way here. (4) MIGHTY MELISSA should improve on the drop and she is the one to fend off late; using. (1) FERN HILL BELLA will probably get overbet exiting the fastest race. She is a fade for me in this spot. (3) BLOSSOM ONTHEBEACH takes frequent shares. She is a good one to use on the bottom of Tri and Super bets.

Race 9: Claiming $15,000 to $18,000 for NW $65,000 LT AE: NW $2,500 L5

Nice showdown here between Moreau trainees (6) BIG ACE , who shoots for six straight wins, and (7) JIM STRIKESITRICH, who comes in off an impressive win. Nod to the former, but using both on multi-race tickets. (4) ROCKINMYDREAM broke last week because he was yanked inside suddenly to avoid a breaker that looked dangerous. He can take a share here. (2) TWAIN SEELSTER had a tough trip last week and he did well, considering; using underneath.

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

(2) TANGO SEELSTER is clearly fastest here and he should take a fourth straight win as the chalk tonight. (4) BETTER SUNSET can improve enough in this second start to fill the bottom of the Exacta. (7) SUNDANCE LOU closed late for 3rd to the choice last week and more of the same is likely here. (8) RAISING SAND won four in a row at the B tracks but he didn't beat much then; using underneath. (3) BOBCAYGEON can pass a few of these late and land in the bottom of the Super or High-5.
