Race 1: WHENUWISHUPONASTAR: 2 YEAR OLD FILLIES 1ST LEG **Guaranteed $100,000 Pick 5**
(4) BANKERS LUCK was buried with no room for the entire stretch last time. Macdonald, who was also named on the #4 horse here sticks with her and she gets the nod. $135,000 Harrisburg buy (2) SYLVIA HANOVER, 1/2 to double millionaire Western Fame, looks sharp and ready for this debut; using. (6) VALLEY OF FEAR has done nothing wrong to date and she is another contender in a compact but competitive field. (5) REGGAE HANOVER likely sits and rallies here after breaking in her debut.

Race 2: 4YO and Younger NW1 or $7,000 LT
(8) CALM COOL COLLECTD had no lane to trot through when chasing the leader in the stretch last time. When he did finally find some room, it was too late. He looks good vs. this group and he gets top billing. (7) CM SAVEWILL GL showed a bit of early zip from the 10-hole then raced evenly. I could see him getting a pocket tri tonight and capitalizing using. (1) ACKLES HANOVER took a ton of action (as most Determination horses do), fired to the front and tired late. Maybe he sits and rallies now? (4) SEEKING SALVATION closed well last time and he should come on for a share again
Race 3: WHENUWISHUPONASTAR: 2 YEAR OLD FILLIES 1ST LEG
(4) TREACHEROUS PENNY looks like a good one for Team Alagna and she will probably be tough to beat here. (3) MOMENTARY CONTROL couldn't have looked much better breaking her maiden in a Gold race. She should be the main threat here. (1) ALWAYS A STAR will likely be the early leader and she should stick around for a share. (5) TREACHEROUSDAME, stablemate to the choice, should be in the exotics mix tonight.
Race 4: 3YO Fillies Grassroots starters NW $30,000 in 2022 - Pick 4
(8) RESOLVING jogged vs. similar last week and she should be tough to beat here. I liked the way (5) SAINT ANTOINE closed for Sorrie last time and that teamster sticks here; using. (9) ANGELONIA was no match for the choice last time. More of the same is likely coming here. (7) HALO ITS HEAVEN is worth a look for the bottom of the exotics with McNair taking the return drive.
Race 5: 2YO Colts and Geldings NW1 LT
$50,000 Harrisburg buy (10) TIP TOP CAT looks ready for Team McNair and this doesn't look like a tough spot. I'll give him the call despite drawing widest. (1) SEVEN OUT is probably the one to beat exiting stakes races. He is hard to leave off multi-race tickets. (6) ALL ATTITUDE, third in two straight Grassroots dashes, fits well here and he should contend vs. these. (3) NOTHING BETTOR goes for the potent Gallucci/Macdonald combo and he should be in the exotics mix.
Race 6: F&M 4YO and Younger NW2 or $15,100 LT - Pick 5
(6) IM ON THE EDGE dominated similar for driver Waples first win of 2022 last week and a repeat victory is likely. (2) SHADOW N REDSHONEY was closest to the choice in a much improved effort on the barn change to Barrington. She has upset potential here. (4) J ONE TWENTY is in the exotics mix here exiting a fast race; using underneath. (5) SAKE TUMI is in a bit easier here and she should be good for a share.
Race 7: 2YO Colts and Geldings Grassroots Starters
(5) D A HOME STRETCH rebounded from a tough trip two starts back to win impressively in a Grassroots race at Georgian Downs; call to repeat. (1) WISE THINKING raced huge first up to also take a Grassroots win on that same card. He should be a big threat here. (2) SHADOWS TERROR improved last time but I prefer to use him underneath the top two choices tonight. (4) TALK RACY TO ME can improve enough in this second start to land in the exotics.
Race 8: F&M 4YO and Younger NW1 or $7,000 LT - Pick 4
(4) DIVIDE comes west with some good form and she seems to fit well here making her first start for Barrington; top call. The same connections that campaigned Somebeachsomewhere and Beach Glass shelled out $250K for (3) IPANEMA HANOVER at Harrisburg so there is likely more under her hood than what you can see from one qualifier. The tote will likely provide some clues here. (2) SOUND BITE HANOVER likely sits another trip and sticks around for a share. (1) QUEEN OF SOUL is another that will likely take a following trip and finish in the Tri or Super.
Race 9: 3YO Fillies Grassroots starters
(3) QUEBECOISE has reached peak form and she looked good rallying for a Grassroots win last week; top call. (8) GIRL IN A TAVERN will be closer by default in this shorter field tonight. She has upset potential. (4) MOMENTARILY dominated while taking a new lifetime mark then she missed a week. I wonder how aggressively she will be driven here in a race with no Grassroots points attached. I will try to beat her this time. (5) BIG BETTOR HANOVER can close for another small share.

Race 10: NW $2,000 L3 or starters for a purse of $7,000 L2 AE: N/A $1,210 P/S in 2022
(6) ANDY OVER flew late to beat a better field last week but he was set back for a pylon violation. He can make amends here. (2) PRINCESSPARTYPANTS fits well here and she should be a threat tonight racing close to the front. (5) RED OVERBACH takes a big class drop but his recent form doesn't get the blood racing; your call as a probable underlay. (3) MISSYS MAGIC MAN can land a share exiting the top class at Grand River.
Race 11: 5YO and Younger NW2 or $23,000 LT
(4) BLUEMOON BAYAMA's first race in more than a year was a good effort and he should be sharper for this assignment. He gets top call tonight. (3) KATIES BET looks ready to roll coming back from sickness. He is the one to fear. (1) PETIPOU was a solid NW2 winner but he will need more late speed to hold off tonight's rivals. I'll use him underneath. (2) FULL DISCLOSURE will likely sit and rally for another slice.
