Race 1 – NW6 (F&M7) or $70,000 (F&M $87,500) - **GTD $75,000 Pick 5**

(6) BLAZING TRAIL gets a much better post here so he shouldn’t need to make up as much ground as last week. He gets top call here. (1) HOLDIN ACES finished with some late interest last week and he could upset here if he gets put into this race earlier. (4) P L MATT was picked off only very late by a sharp rival last week and he is another that you probably need on your early Pick 5 ticket. (8) MEEAS DREAM steps up after taking a new life’s mark but from the widest post she is likely best used underneath.

Race 2- PREFERRED

There is a great six pack lined up here with many options, but I suspect that the sharp mare (2) SO MUCH MORE may get a great stalking trip and roll by them all late. (5) WHEELS ON FIRE has been outstanding locally and he is probably the one they will be looking to chase down in the lane. (4) EVENWOOD SONOFAGUN and (6) EASY LOVER HANOVER waged war last time and they also both figure here for at least a share.

Race 3 – NW $11,000 L5 or $22,000 L10 AE: OPT CLM $30,000

(1) SWEET N FAST N never got into the race last week, but he should be closer early here and I’ll give him a slight nod in a tough dash. (5) EASY FLYER was a predictable winner at Flamboro Downs in his first start out of the Auciello barn and he could repeat here if he gets a decent trip. (3) A BOY NAMED SUUZZ was decent last week and he can pass a few late here as can (6) LONE WOLF TERROR who should be considered for the bottom of the Super.

Race 4 – NW $16,000 L5 or $27,000 L10 or NW $120,000 LT AE: OPT CLM $45,000

(2) CLIFFHANGER projects to get a great trip racing in (4) REAL WILLEY’s pocket here and they could fight it out down the lane; slight nod to the former. (1) MAKE SOME LUCK was a bit better last week. Maybe he will be sharper here in his third start back. (7) HEZA THRILL N looked a winner at the 3/4 pole and he couldn’t seal the deal. He should be closing late for a slice here.

Race 5 - NW $31,000 L5 or $215,000 LT AE: OPT CLM $80,000

(2) PEACE OUT POSSE paced a big mile chasing a leader that enjoyed a soft opening 3/4 of a mile last week and he should get a stronger pace to chase here; slight nod in a contentious dash. (10) MATTICULOUS GB is razor-sharp and he will likely be on the move early here in search of another win. (9) POINTS NORTH dominated easier as expected last week but that was a sharp effort and he could do here if he gets put into this race from the widest post. (1) ISITFRIDAYYET wasn’t far behind the two choices last time and he should get another good trip here; using underneath.

Race 6 - NW3 (F&M5) or $45,000 (F&M $72,000) LT - Pick 5

(2) SOMBRE was plucked out of a claimer by trainer Auciello right when it appears he is sitting on a win and he gets top billing here. (5) P C JUSTA DREAM was 2nd to a sharp winner last time in a good effort and she should be a threat here. (1) VILLEFRANCHE AS was first up into a 28 1/5 final 1/4 which was a tough spot to be in. She could win this with a trip. (3) HP BRUXELLES should be leaving harder this week and that puts her in the picture for at least a slice.

Race 7 - NW $8,000 L5 or $17,000 L10 - Pick 4

(4) BRODYS SCRAPPER was unlucky last week to get beat by a pylon skimmer who sat a perfect trip throughout. He gets the nod here. (1) ISLANDSPECIALMAJOR takes a multi-level class drop here and draws better. He should wake up in this spot; using. (3) ROCK THIS WAY looked good taking a new life's mark Monday night and he could offer some exotics value here. (7) KINGOFTHEJUNGLE is racing better and he could take these a long way if he is allowed to clear to the front early.

Race 8 - 5YO and Younger NW4 or $53,000LT

(5) R U TALKIN almost got there last week. He is sharp and this is a good spot for him. (1) CAVIART CALE was also flying late and he should be in better position this week; using. (7) SUNSHINES FINEST raced well in Ohio and he’s worth a look here returning home. (2) BIG BULLY is usually in the hunt. He is a good one to use in the 3-4 slots here.

Race 9 – NW6 or $75,000 LT

(4) MC PAT will be closer by default in this seven-horse field and he gets the nod over shipper (7) NIGHT STICK who stacks up well here in his first start for Moreau. (3) AREUKIDDINME CABBIE is in easier here and he is another who could take this with a trip. (1) CHEDDAR BAY should pass at least a couple of these late; consider for the exotics.

Race 10 - HORSES WHO HAVE RACED FOR A PURSE $9,000 OR LESS IN ONE OF L4

(4) UF BETTORS HANOVER looked sharp winning at this level last week and he gets the call to repeat. (10) BETTORS WESTERN always looked like the winner Monday night in London and he fits well here; using. (5) BORN OF FIRE was good in his first start here and he wouldn’t need to improve much to contend vs. these. (2) HES GOT SWAGGER should be a speed presence for at least part of this race. I’ll use him underneath. (1) SABINE PASS could be expected to improve in his second start back and he’s not impossible in this spot.
