Woodbine Mohawk Park: Horses to watch from August 31 - September 5

Thursday, August 31

DO MISCHIEF (NW1/2YO) yielded and was shuffled, slipped out into the lane, angled late and closed well to earn a look in next.

MUSCONE (NW1/2YOF) finished full of trot from a distant 4th over to be up for second in latest.

WINMEBAK (OntSS) bet off the board, the favorite won going away and will be the one to beat in next.

PALLADIUM HANOVER (OntSS) left well, yielded and was shuffled, tipped in the final turn behind tiring cover, finished full of pace and would be no surprise.

PRETTY SPECIAL (GRASSROOTS) was hindered by the 10-hole, grinded along, finished wide and fast but late to be second to the fleet-footed wire to wire winner who got away early.

Friday, September 1

MOLLOP HANOVER (NW8850FM) was parked the mile, grinded along, gained cover, went wide as cover folded, finished fast but just missed.

MYSTIFYING (NW14000FM) beaten favorite sat to the rear, rallied late and missed by a length. Could get luckier in next so do not ignore.

BIG BIG PLANS (OntSS) took the lead, yielded, sat pocket and never cleared so don't overlook.

STOCKADE SEELSTER (OntSS) well-bet favorite was used hard throughout and dug in gamely to earn the win.

MOMENT IS HERE (OntSS) took the lead, got stung to the half, yielded, pulled to the third panel, challenged the top one but tired.

Saturday, September 2

SHADOWN IN RED (NW23500) sat last to the final turn, tipped, rallied wide and just missed at 33-1.

MATAI LOUIS N (W4-6) sat pocket and was second best on the board and at the wire as his favored stablemate was a handy winner. Connections should find a spot for him to get top prize.

CRUSH KILL DESTROY (OntSS) showed some late life after sitting in the entire race and a win has to be coming soon so stay alert.

PASS LINE (OntSS) rallied uncovered and won going away in last to tie a track record.

CODENAME CIGAR BOX (NW14000) was parked the mile grinding away, raced third over and finished with good pace to earn some respect in next outing.

Monday, September 4

FREE WILLY HANOVER (COND) charged home late from the back of the pack to just miss the pacesetting favorite. Veteran can win with slightly better trip.

CONTROL THE GOLD (NW16000) beaten favorite rushed up to the third panel, challenged the well-bet second choice but flattened out.

WILLYS HOME RUN (OntSS) went quickly to the lead from the 10-post and never looked back. Should take another....or two.

HERVEY HANOVER (NW15000) trailed, rallied late and passed most of the field.

ONEY HALL (PRF) sat pocket barely containing his excitement, got it done once free in the lane.

Tuesday, September 5

FORTRESS LOUISBURG (NW1/2YO) well-bet second choice left and broke, settled and brushed to the lead, yielded to the third panel and tired. Youngster will be tougher.

CHIVALRY SEELSTER (NW1/2YO) took the top, yielded, retook and that was that.

GRIFF (OntSS) sat back to the stretch, rallied widest, latest and fastest in big score and can take another.

FLEURIE (NW14000) trailed at over 30-1, flashed some good late speed and should be considered in next race or two.
