Race 1: ONTARIO SIRES STAKES GRASSROOTS 3YO COLTS and GELDINGS - **GTD $100,000 Pick 5**

(3) CROSSFIT MOUSE left, took a tuck then stayed in and got shuffled last time. He has a much better chance of making front or grabbing the pocket early this time starting from a much better post; slight nod. (4) LOVEDBYTHEMASSES likely wasn't going to beat Blue Cupertino when he jumped it off but he did squander a good placing. His gait wasn't the best in that race so check him out in the post parade and score down. (2) CHARBO PRINCE raced better last week and he is the third contender that has a shot in the opening leg of the early Pick 5. (7) FRANKS ANGEL is a good one to use on the bottom of the Trip and Super in this spot.

Race 2: CLM HDCP $25,000 to $30,000

A class drop may just what (3) KINGOFTHEJUNGLE needs to get back on the winning track and an aggressive try is likely here. (1) P L IDAHO dominated a weak conditioned field last week and off that effort he is obvious here but he is an infrequent winner that is sure to be over bet tonight; your call. (6) LONE WOLF TERROR is worth a look racing off the claim. More speed coming tonight perhaps? (4) UF BETTORS HANOVER has been racing well out of the West barn and he should be in this Super.

Race 3: ONTARIO SIRES STAKES GRASSROOTS 3YO COLTS and GELDINGS

(1) MIKEY MASS is clearly the fastest in here and from the inside post he should prove tough to beat. (2) RIPPED AND READY gets to start alongside the choice this week which is a big post improvement and he is in with an upset chance. (8) TRUE BREW has been very sharp recently and McNair should have him fired to blast early. He should be in the Tri. (7) REMEMBER TITANS is likely to show early speed but I prefer to use him underneath.

Race 4: NW $18,000 L5 or $33,000 L10 or NW $130K or 8 Races LT AE: OPT CLM $30K - Pick 4

Tough race with many chances; I'll side with (2) MUSICAL RHYTHM who hinted at a return to his best form last week. (5) COOL MUSCLE brings a powerful closing kick to the track every week and he is hard to leave off multi-race tickets. (6) VILLEFRANCHE AS gets slight post improvement here and she is another in with a shot. (4) GRANDMA HEIDI may try to go down the road in this spot and if McNair can get her a breather she could do just that.

Race 5: F&M NW $3,000 L5 or $7,000 L10

(4) DEB popped and stopped now she drops and gets a better post; top call. (6) REIS STAR CROSS has improving form and she never gets bet. She isn't impossible in this spot and she could provide some multi-race value here. (5) TWIN B TIPSTER failed as a big favorite when dropped to this class last time but she can be better here if she blasts for position early; using. (2) WESTBEACH should be an early presence and hang around to take a share.

Race 6: ONTARIO SIRES STAKES GRASSROOTS 3YO COLTS and GELDINGS - Pick 5

(5) BLUE CUPERTINO took a class edge dropping into Grassroots last week and he has a great shot to repeat here. (2) LIFE IS A FEAST rode the choice's pocket the whole way but he was no threat in the lane. A similar result is very possible here. (4) TUCKERS OUT is sure-gaited and that trait enables him to take frequent shares; using underneath. (8) TITANS DREAM should blast but I doubt he'll last for more than a small slice.

Race 7: NW $12,000 L5 or $24,000 L10 OPT CLM $30,000

(5) MISTER MAGIC was compromised trying to close into a strong late pace last week and he is likely to be more aggressive this time; top call. (6) HIGHLAND DYNAMITE brings decent form back from the U.S and Henry chose her over #4; using. (2) MONOPOLY was too far back last week. With a better start here he is in with an upset chance. (7) DERF HANOVER’s slight post improvement will help him get on the board as he steps up in class.

Race 8: ONTARIO SIRES STAKES GRASSROOTS 3YO COLTS and GELDINGS - Pick 4

(5) KENOGAMI COCO looked good powering home to win last time and he could get a nice setup for his late kick here; top call. (4) NO TIME TO PLAY was also impressive winning at the Grassroots level and he is hard to leave out of the late Pick 4. (1) FIT BITT is always in the mix but he will be under the gun early starting from the inside and I'll use him underneath. (7) ARCHIES STAR is always right there in Grassroots races and he could better this placing if he gets a decent trip.

Race 9: NW $3,000 L5 or $7,000 L10

(3) POINTTOMYGRANSON is going to be tough to beat here with a drop to the bottom conditioned level. A Roy speed blast is a surety. (7) MCPAT raced okay in a very fast race for the class last week and he should be the main threat. (4) MACH STEADY should find this class level more to his liking and I see him landing in the Tri or Super here. (5) MACH CODE figures to get a better trip here starting with his nose back on the gate; consider for the exotics.

Race 10: PREFERRED

(5) HEY LIVVY gets a better post and a short field to work with here and a better start is likely. If she stays flat, she's the one to beat. (4) P L JILL was ultra-game last week keeping the backfield at bay late in the mile. She is the logical alternative. (1) FREE WILLY HANOVER tries hard every week and he should get a good trip here but I prefer to use him underneath. (6) ONLY TAKE CASH, the third mare in this field of six, has improving form but from the outermost post I'll use her on the bottom.

Race 11: NW $8,000 L5 or $16,000 L10 OPT CLM $20,000

The last time (7) MOON BRIDGE raced against non-stakes foes, he won by more than 12 lengths. This field of elders should be within his scope; top call. (3) MUSCLES JARED raced okay last week and he likely needed one coming off a six-month break. Improvement is likely here; using. (2) CRUISING IN STYLE is a must-use dropping and drawing much better. (6) VEYRON has been showing some signs and he gets a much better starting slot here; upset chance, (10) R FIRST CLASS is a strong lay against for me here considering his poor win record, gait issues and second tier post.
