Race 1: 5YO and younger NW2 F&M3 or $20,000 LT **Gtd. $100,000 Pick 5**

Tough race to kick off the early Pick 5. (8) SWEET DETRMINATION comes in off the best recent race, but she draws worst. She should be right there if she gets sent forward leaving the gate. (2) STONEBRIDGE BOMBER got an impossible trip last time and drawing inside tonight should improve his chances; price look. (5) WINOOSKI is capable at this level if he stays flat. Another to consider for the Pick 5. (6) PROUD TO BE LINDY should be good for another share in this spot.

Race 2: CLM HDCP $25,000 to $35,000

This looks like another stretch battle between (6) I AMA ROCKET and (4) JM JACK OF HEARTS. The former will likely be the one to catch again and he gets the nod to score the threepeat. (5) SUNDAY AFTERNOON comes back quickly after taking a share on Saturday night and she should be in the exotics mix here despite facing males. (1) NIGHT CLUB HANOVER looks next best, and he can round out the Super.

Race 3: 2YO fillies NW1 or $5,000 LT

(6) THE RIGHT TIME was in a bad spot when the eventual winner made her move to the front on the last turn last week. Once she found room, she rallied, and I can see her winning tonight racing on the engine or in the pocket. (9) NAUTILUS B has Grand Circuit and Gold lines now she faces maidens. She should wake up in this spot; using. (7) D A ALICE got checks in three straight Golds and she is another that could improve enough to win. This is a tough race. (3) HIT THE BANK got hammered down to 3 to 5 on the class drop but she got hooked in the third 1/4 then passed by three rivals. I'll use her underneath tonight.

Race 4: 2YO colts and geldings NW1 or $5,000 - Pick 4

This is a good spot for (5) FLIGHT LANDING, who has been facing some of the best rookie trotters. He will be a single for me. (10) GONE GOODBYE is the other stakes dropper but post 10 is very tough for a 2YO trotter. I'll use him underneath. (6) TEASIN moves from the worst post to the best one. He can improve enough to sneak into the exotics. (2) SUSHI BAR, the only winner in the field, is worth using on the bottom.

Race 5: 5YO and younger winners of 2 (F&M3) but not more than 4 (F&M5)

(1) R ROYAL PORT was a good 2nd to Silly Me Hanover who was beaten by less than four lengths in Grand Circuit company this past weekend. I'll shoot for a price with him here. (5) SAUNDRA has been right there at this level in four straight starts. She should be the one to beat tonight. (3) UNBEATABLE KEMP's good tactical speed should have him in position to land in the Tri or Super. (7) EDEN ONTHEHILL can close for a slice if he stays flat this time.

Race 6: NW $14,500 L5 or $31,500 L5: OPT CLM $65,000 AE: NW $40,500 in 2023 - Pick 5

(7) TWIN B ARCHIE was one of the best 3YO trotters here last year and it looks like he might be ready to fire a sharp mile based on his qualifier on 8/18 trotted over a wet track; top call. (2) OKEANOS is consistently in the mix, and he is in with a decent chance here. (4) SPARTAN GENERAL looked good passing Okeanos last week, but he often gets too far back. He could repeat but I wouldn’t take a short price. (1) ALL WRAPPED UP should close late for another small slice.

Race 7: 5YO and younger NW1 or $8,400 LT - Pick 4

(4) TYRONE BOW TIE couldn't repel a well-meant winner last week but that was a solid try, and he looks best here. (6) GLENFIDICH has been producing nice late speed recently and he will likely be the one to fend off. (10) BELLA DAMA got a needed clean line, but she was well behind the choice at the wire now she draws widest; small share predicted. (1) HOT FLASH KIMMY will likely rally late again to round out the Tri or Super.

Race 8: CLM HDCP $12,000 to $16,000

(7) BETTOR NOTBITTER A keeps rolling and he meets another field that he should beat here. (6) PROCRASTINATOR makes his second start for Barrington, and he gets off the rail and draws best here. He could get much more aggressive, and he is the other one that I'll use on multi-race tickets. (8) MACH ART IN MOTION is the only dropper in the field and he is capable of passing them all if the race falls apart late; using. (3) MISTER JR is a good one to use on the bottom of the exotics.

Race 9: Winners of 4 (F&M5) but not more than 6 (F&M7) or $80,000 LT AE: 4YO and 5YO to be claimed for $60,000 or NW1 in 2023

(2) MIDNIGHT MIRACLE kicked late as he usually does, but a 27-flat final 1/4 wasn’t enough vs. a strong leader. He can stay covered up and rally past these late tonight. (6) MRMAYOR HANOVER rode the pocket and held the choice off by a neck. He should be the one to catch tonight. (7) BELLA CAVALLA exits the same race as the top two choices. She can rally from the back for a share. (3) LIKE CHAOS faces a salty older group here. A small share is likely for him.

Race 10: NW $2,350 L3 AE: NW $25,000 in 2023

This is a good spot for dropper (8) WIND BLOWN, and McClure should blast with him, and he could lead all the way. (5) BEACHIN LINDY is the other dropper in here and Sorrie will surely get more aggressive with him vs. these. He could trip out in the pocket in this spot; using. (7) HUNTER HILL was first up chasing Toronto who was pacing a sub-1:51 mile. That was never going to work out. He should be in the mix for a share here. (6) SIP OF BOURBON comes off a good try, but these are tougher; small share predicted. (1) WOODMERE FENN will likely close from far back again to take the smallest share.
