Race 1 – NW $7,100 L5 or $13K L10 – AE: OPT CLM $20K

(2) CRUISING IN STYLE raced tough against better in his 2019 opener and was part of some swift fractions. This is a race he should win. (3) WHISKEY TAX is showing signs of improvement and he can pop up with a good showing here. (7) ON THE SLY will likely get sent by Roy here and he can stick around for a share. (4) GALLANT MAN exits a good race and he should be heard from here; using underneath.

Race 2 – NW $16K L5 or $28K L10 – AE: NW $125K LT or OPT CLM $40K

(2) PERFETTO likely wouldn’t have much trouble with these if he could replicate his 1:53-flat winning effort when he raced in a similar class three starts back, but gait issues make him a bit risky. (8) DUNBAR HALL is also fast, talented and quirky and while his last two lines are ugly, he is more than capable at this level if he’s on his game. (1) MONOPOLY is consistent and dependable for the most part, so I’ll use him in this Pick 5 as an alternative to the top two. (4) CATCH THE DREAM moves up off a strong win and I prefer to use him underneath here.

Race 3 – 4YO and Younger NW1 or $7K LT

(4) GALAXY SEELSTER is somewhat obvious here moving off the 10-hole after trotting two good efforts from out there. (6) CORNERSTONE raced strongly as chalk last time, but she was simply second best. She rates highly here. (8) MADAM SHAZAM faced way tougher recently and she should be heard from here and take at least a share. (3) ISNT HE AN ANGEL raced decently for Vanderkemp last Wednesday and he has been known to pop with these kinds; beware.

Race 4 – 4YO and Younger NW2 or $25K LT

(9) SILAS SEELSTER was strong and impressive winning the City of London Final last week and he may be up to toppling this tougher group. (5) SILVER BEAST qualified impressively despite suffering an equipment break. He should be formidable here. (3) QUATRAIN BLUE CHIP will be right there if he can pace back to his score two starts back; using. (7) MISSILE SEELSTER was right behind the choice in London and he’s worth a look for the exotics.

Race 5 – 4YO and Younger NW2 or $20KLT

(8) ROYAL ESTEEM was second to a top filly last time and she should be tough if she gets put into this race. (7) SOUTHWIND CASHA has the speed to get away well from this post and her recent form is good; using. (2) ACE BI moves up off a strong winning effort. He merits respect here despite the class rise. (1) MAC N CAPS raced decently at huge odds last time; consider for the exotics.

Race 6 – NW $10K L5 or $22,600 L10 – AE: OPT CLM $30K

(2) ST JAMES GATE closed determinedly last time, but he was just two far back. He gets the nod over (3) O NARUTAC PERFETTO. Both seem to have too much late speed for these and the short field won’t hurt. (4) ABSOLUT SEELSTER can’t seem to seal the deal at this level, but she should be good for a share again. (1) SHES GOT PIZZAZZ has upset from this post before. She may sit a trip to the lane then pounce before the closers get in high gear.

Race 7 – NW $3,300 L5 or $9K L10

(2) ARSENAL SELSTER raced too good to lose last time now he faces much easier and he should get the job done here. (1) PRO BEACH had a tightener and he keeps driver Roy here. He should be an exacta factor. (9) LEAFS AND WINGS fits well here but he will need to work out a trip to hit the board. (6) MT STERLING MAFIA closes quickly every week. He can sneak onto the Tri or Super here.

Race 8 - NW $7,100 L% or $13K L10 - AE: OPT CLM $20K

(4) R FIRST CLASS improved last time and almost got the job done; third time off the shelf should be the charm vs. these. (5) MISS JUBILEE HILL made a huge recovery from a break to almost get there. She will be the one to fear if she stays trotting. (2) ODDS ON AMETHYST is worth a look at this level because you know if he pops up with one of his better efforts, he will be right there. (7) REVENUE AGENT takes a lot of slices and he should be good for another one here.

Race 9 - NW $26,500 L5 - AE: NW 7 or $150K LT; OPT CLM $60K

Stablemates (3) ALARM DETECTOR and (5) RUN DIRECTOR both had starts vs. much better and they kind of lay over these on class. I'll use both in the late Pick 4 here. (7) MARQUIS VOLO has excelled in the Winnacott barn and he should be closing for a share again here. (2) FREE WILLY HANOVER is another good one to use underneath in this spot.

Race 10 – NW $3K L5 or $7K L10 AE: Not averaging $1K/Start in 2018-2019

(6) CONSTANTINO moves into the best post following a good try vs. similar; slight nod in a wide-open race. (4) MYSTICAL MISSION took lots of action making his first start out of the Bossence barn and he raced well. A better start puts him right there with these. (3) UTOPIA could go better here if he is tripped out; using in the Late Pick 4. (5) EMMALULU is a good one to use on the bottom of exotic wagers. (10) KENDRAS COCO could blast off early here and get position then stick around for a slice; consider including at a price.
