Woodbine Mohawk Park: Horses to watch from July 3 - July 8

Thursday, July 3

GRAND CIRCUIT (POPUP) jogged and was claimed again. Should come out firing again.

SHES LAWLESS (CLM20000FM) was second over to poor cover, rallied wide and was second best to the handy odds-on favorite winner.

COVER BAND (NW2) pulled as the speed settled, brushed and crushed foes by open lengths.

TRUDYBIRD (NW1FM) broke before the start, took back, flashed some good late trot and earns a look in next race or two.

ABOVEMYPAYGRADE (CLM20000) finished gamely from second over but was nailed on the wire by the fleet-footed closing favorite.

Friday, July 4

SORCHA SEELSTER (NW15850FM) finished very well from far back passing foes in droves posting a :26 2/5 last panel to be second best to the prohibitive pacesetting favorite.

A CLEAN DEAL (OntSS) yielded twice, rallied in the lane and the three-move win was impressive.

M E LAUREL (NW1/2YOF) was off slow, pulled to the third call, moved up on the rim, finished well to earn second and bears watching.

ALWAYS DAWN (NW3FM) yielded for the pocket, challenged but was second best to the odds-on favorite.

STYLE FOR A MILE (NW9000FM) wired the field in speedy mile and can take another.

Saturday, July 5

BEAU JANGLES (OntSS) brushed early and was a handy winner in racing debut as the odds-on favorite and should have some more wins in store.

BROOKDALE MIKI (POPUP) sat last, rallied late and fast to nail second at over 135-1 in Consolation race.

PRINCE HAL HANOVER (NW18500) well-bet second choice rushed to the lead, opened up by a bunch but was nailed on the wire by the favorite. Would be no surprise in next.

BRUE HANOVER (PRF) won third straight in handy style and should get another one.

POSEIDON SEELSTER (PRF) gets kudos for being in the pocket second best at every call to the above foe at odds of nearly 57-1.

Monday, July 7

BEYOND BETTER (NW3800) finished full of pace from a distant 4th over and just missed all the marbles.

LEGION SEELSTER (NW6100) was used to the lead, set a good clip but tired over a track that was unforgiving to pacesetters but only missed by a head.

TALBOT KRISTEN (OntSS) beaten favorite brushed to the lead going to the half, set a good clip but was nailed by the late move of the pocket sitting well-bet second choice. Filly can turn it around in next.

SAMETHINGONYDIFRNT (OntSS) took the lead, yielded, sat pocket and had aim at odds of 46-1 but was nailed by the late closing odds-on favorite.

DAYA (OntSS) pulled uncovered in the final turn and rushed by the leader and drew off in quickest of the Grassroots races.

Tuesday, July 8

ALWAYS BE SWEETEST (NW1) finished from the back of the pack and was second best at the end.

DR DAVE (OntSS) went down the road at a quick clip and was a handy winner in his division.

BETTER SCRIPT (OntSS) finished in a wicked :26 flat to earn second best money in his division chasing the top one home.

TACTICAL STRIKE (W3-5) beaten favorite finished full of trot from an impossible 4th over in latest and deserves a long look in next as she tries to atone.

STARS TREASURE (POPUP) had post 10 and went off at 90-1, finished last and was claimed. I would keep an eye on this one out of curiosity.
