Race 1

(3) BEACHIN LINDY raced better last week vs. non-winners of five and he should still be a good price here because he rarely gets bet; slight nod in a field with many possibilities. (5) THE REGULATOR tried OSS Gold competition and he just missed getting a check. These should be easier. (1) CANDID CAMERON had a sharp win in this class three starts back. McClure may blast then sit a nice trip with him; using. (6) SUGARTOWN was the beneficiary of some destructive early battling when he won at Flamboro. He may get overbet here.

Race 2

(2) KLOOF STREET made two moves from an outer post when she was last in this class two starts back. She projects to leave hard then sit a great trip here; top call. (7) ARTISTIC MADISON was sharp in her return to Mohawk Park and she may try to blast and lead them all the way this time. (6) BEAUTYONTHEBEACH had a nice opener and she is an obvious contender here, but keep in mind she could be still tuning up for something much bigger. (5) TAJMEALLOVER should close for a slice on the class drop.

Race 3

(4) LEAVING A LEGACY appears to have landed in a field laden with stalker/closer types and she may go right to the engine and lull them to sleep; call to repeat. (6) PROTECT BLUE CHIP is sharp and dangerous, but she needs to start her move early enough to be in contention at the head of the lane. (5) XELENE BAYAMA is in great form and she could be the one laying closest to the choice at the head of the lane. (2) FINA PATINA should be closing late for another share vs. these.

Race 4

(8) DOVUTO HANOVER tracked some big fractions, gamely dug in to take over from the leader then held off the closers in an excellent effort last week. He may blast off here and lead these on a merry chase. (2) ROLL WITH HOWIE's last race can be thrown out due to broken equipment. He's worth a look off the Moreau claim. (7) JULERICA fits well in this class and makes his debut out of the Shepherd barn. I'll use him on multi-race tickets. (1) DARCEE N is always around the money, but I prefer to use him underneath here.

Race 5

(4) KIWI FOCUS N went a big trip in defeat on Monday night and she could pop on short rest here despite the small class rise. (3) DAZZLING ROCKETTE has been on a roll at Flamboro and she fits well making her Mohawk Park return here; using. (1) WINDSONGMAGNIFIQUE will take plenty of action on the class drop and driver Waples has been doing well lately; using. (2) MACH AND ROLL BABY is a good one to use underneath on the class drop. Notice her seven slices vs. no wins this year.

Race 6

(2) JAN was an easy winner from the 10-hole last time she raced this low and if she's recovered from her sickness, she should be tough here. (4) MACHNHOPE should wake up with a much better effort at this level; using. (3) AINT THREE OK can sit a good trip here and rally for a slice; using underneath. (8) AMERICAN SARA was a determined winner Monday night when making her first start out of the Boyd barn but she may find this group too tough; small share predicted.

Race 7

(7) R FIRST CLASS was heading for the front last week when a horse broke in front of him and took him out. I'll give him another chance here. (2) WHISKEY TAX takes a big drop here and he should wake up against these; using. (1) REVENUE AGENT should get a good trip leaving from the inside and hit the board. (4) MR CONTESTANT is a good one to use on the bottom of Tris and Supers in this spot.

Race 8

(6) ROYAL RENEGADE raced tough on the rim last time, only to be chased down by (5) PRINCE GIOVANNI. I'll use both in the Late Pick 4 and give a slight nod to the former now that he has had a race over the track. (4) JIMMY BE GOOD changed tactics last week and he couldn't last on the engine. Look for him to be closing this time. (8) PRINT MEDIA comes up tagged and he should be heard from in this spot; consider for the exotics.

Race 9

(3) COUSIN MARY has raced tough twice straight uncovered vs. the best mares on the grounds. She can handle these. (5) ALEXIS FAITH looked good winning last week and she should be a threat right back. (7) OUTLAW FIREBALL should be closing for a piece of this dropping from the top class. (1) EXHILARATED should be part of the early pace and she should stick around for a share.

Race 10

(2) TEQUILA PARTY closed ground while the pace accelerated last time and moving inside she should get put into action earlier here; top call. (8) BEACH BAR is in super form and she should be the one to fend off here despite her post. (5) TARRYN A STRIP goes for three straight but these are tougher and I prefer to use her underneath. (3) WESTBEACH has raced well in all three 2019 starts and she should be on the Super ticket.

Race 11

Last time (6) HUMBOLDT dropped to this level, he was a front end winner. He gets the nod vs. these. (4) TE KAWAU N is always around at this level, too, and he should be a threat this week. (1) RAMBLINGAMBLINMAN is in top form, and with the rail draw he may be close enough to chase them all down; using. (9) AVALANCHE HANOVER should be blasting at the start and he can hang around for a share. (5) HEA THRILL N should be part of the High 5 with his good post draw.
