Race 1 - 2YO Fillies – GTD $50K Pick 5

(9) BETTORBEASECRET was in a tough spot last week trying to close into an accelerating pace while racing on the rim. She should be better for that experience and perhaps driven with more aggression; top call. (4) LAINIE HANOVER shows the fastest mile on the page and her barn has done well at this meet; using. (2) TRAFALGAR goes for a barn that has already sent out several two-year-old winners at various Ontario tracks. Roy in the bike sure won't hurt, either. (5) SATONITE JUKEBOX is worth a look off his sub-28 kickers.

Race 2 - 2YO Fillies

(1) MASSIVE FLIRT simply looks fastest in here. Catch her to greet the cashier. (8) YOUR STILL UP appears to be the main rival. These two may fight it out down the lane. (5) SOLID - a $40K Lexington buy - raced decently in his lone qualifier and he can hit the ticket here. (6) WHOLESOME HANOVER also comes in with one decent qualifier and is another to consider using underneath.

Race 3 - CLM HDP $15K to $18K for NW $80K LT

(7) FAMILY SPORTS looks for a third straight win since the Auciello claim and he should be very tough again. (4) MATTS TUITION comes off a good try, but he enjoyed a perfect trip and he will likely get overbet because of his rapid final clocking. (6) BRANDON HANOVER has been unable to reach the choice in two straight; using underneath. (5) DUNESIDE SPORT was second to the choice two starts back when McClure drove, and he returns here.

Race 4 - NW $6K L5 or NW $13K L10 AE: OPT CLM $15K – GTD $50K Pick 4

(7) CIRCLE THE PAGE drops following a failed first-up try and she should be tough in here. (5) GIRLS OF IMAGE steps up off a predictable win, but Roy sticks and she should be a major player right back. (2) HELLO LOVE takes the biggest class drop and she's hard to dismiss at this level. (4) ROYALTYWESTHO is a good one to use on the bottom of Tris and Supers here.

Race 5 - NW $3K L5 or $7K L10

(3) CONSTANTINO moves inside and in a wide-open race maybe he can get a similar winning trip like he did two starts back racing from this post in this class. (4) CANTABERNET should contend if he can stay flat this time; using. (5) JANGONE drops and is another who broke last time who can wake up here if she stays trotting. (6) BLAMEITONTHEWHISKY always puts himself in good position and he stays flat. He could end up winning by default if some of the main contenders misbehave.

Race 6 - F&M NW $19K L5 or $28K L10 AE: NW 5 or $110K LT or OPT CLM $35K

(5) MAKE MINE MOCHA may be able to control this race on the class drop here; top call. (1) MACHNHOPE is also in a better spot here and she should contend racing from close range. (2) ARTISTIC MADISON gets post relief and she could make the board at a price here. (3) ANDERSON SEELSTER is in solid form, but these are tougher; using on the bottom.

Race 7 - OSS Grassroots 3YO Colts and Geldings

(8) SOUTHWIND CASHA hasn't seen a challenge since returning to Ontario and she may be too fast for these; too. A threepeat looms. (5) WIKI HANOVER was a solid winner last week and she may work out a similarly good trip here which makes her a threat. (6) CHARMBO GOLDEN never gets bet but he keeps winning. This is a tougher spot, though. (2) KUIL DEVA will look to come on late for a slice, as is her custom.

Race 8 - F&M Preferred – Pick 4

(3) WINDSUN GLORY tied her season's mark last week despite missing more than three weeks and shipping north from Indiana. She may be even better here, which would make her very tough. (5) SEASWIFT JOY is an obvious contender getting away from Shartin N; using. (6) WITCH DALI is in top shape and she can close for a share here. (4) ALEXIS FAITH looks next best; using on the bottom.

Race 9 - 2YO Fillies

(6) ALICORN was only asked in the last few strides of her June 21st qualifier and she responded like a good horse; top call. (5) TEMIGAMI SEELSTER has already won under the lights and she's late Pick 4 material. (3) ALL DAY SUNSHINE also had a sharp debut and she is the third one I'll use in this Pick 4. (7) NEED UR OPINION is worth a look for a barn that has been sending all its rookies ready for action.

Race 10 - F&M NW $10K L5 or $28K L10 AE NW6 or $110K LT or OPT CLM $35K

(2) BEAUTYONTHEBEACH faces elders here but it may be an easier spot than trying to tackle the top sophomore pacing fillies on the continent; slight nod. (7) JUST HER LUCK won in a higher class two starts back so she is a must-use for me. (5) SANDBETWEENURTOES has been mostly a fringe player this year and more of the same is expected here. (1) REIS STAR CROSS can sit a good trip and sneak into the Tri or Super.

Race 11 - F&M NW $3,200 L5 or $9,500 L10

(2) SHES LIGHTS OUT barely missed racing a class higher two starts back and a similarly aggressive drive can get the job done here. (1) MISS MADY is the obvious danger coming off a sharp try at this level. (5) SLY ELEANOR N drops and gets Mayotte back; consider for exotics. (7) DRAGON LADY ART has sneaky good form and she is a possible upsetter in here. (9) ACTION MAJESTY got hammered last week racing two classes higher and she showed nothing; your call.
