Race 1 - CLM $15,000 for NW $67,000 LT - **GTD $50,000 Pick 5**
(3) P L MOLLY was only beaten 3 1/2 lengths in a non-winners of four two starts back here before breaking stride at Flamboro. She gets McNair here and faces much easier. She has a big shot if she stays trotting. (8) SINFUL requalified well, drops in for a tag and is another who should be right there vs. these if she can stay flat. (6) TYMAL TINO got hung out too long last time. He is capable of better and I'll toss him in this Pick 5. (1) ARCHWAY should trip out to take a share in this spot.
Race 2- F&M 4YO and Younger NW1 or $9,000
(7) MISS WATERBUFFALO was sharp in her comeback race now she lands in a great spot to break her maiden. expect early aggression here. (4) CHASETHECLOUDSAWAY squandered a big lead last time but that was on an afternoon where there was a pronounced closer bias. She should threaten here. (2) KEEP LOOKING is worth a look for the bottom of the exotics making her second start as is debutante (3) WINDSUN JUNO who appears to have her previous gait issues solved.
Race 3 - 4YO and Younger NW1 or $8,200 LT
(3) PRICELESS SUNSHINE gets his nose on the gate here and that may be all he needs following a couple of decent efforts when starting from the second tier. (5) SPRINGBRIDGE JIM has some impressive lines coming in from Rideau and he is worth a long look here. (4) EXCELLENT NATION took plenty of action last time then finished on the fringes. He can improve in this spot. (8) EATAAMS SPORTSBABY is usually around the money and he should make the bottom of the Tri or Super despite drawing outside.
Race 4 - Clm Hdcp $15,000 to $18,000 - **GTD $50,000 Pick 4**
(4) BUDDHA BLUE CHIP was game despite being out a long way last time. A slightly easier trip lands him in the winner's circle here. (10) SPEED TO MARKET closed to nail the choice and he could get a good setup here; using. (5) LEADER TONIGHT should have a better shot here starting with his nose on the gate; using underneath. (9) OCEANVIEW MAGNUM is hot, but from post 9, I'll use him on the bottom of the exotics.
Race 5 – Clm Hdcp $10,000 to $12,000
(9) CROCADILE CANYON dropped, popped and got claimed by Shepherd. His price should be good again here stepping back up and drawing worst; call to repeat. (7) ON CRUISE CONTROL took a new life's mark here two starts back with Young driving and he returns tonight; using. Veteran (4) OAKROCK ELDORADO races well for Roy and he should be a threat here. (10) UNPRECEDENTED can close for a small slice racing off cover.
Race 6 - CLM HDCP $12,000 to $15,000
(8) ON THE SLY makes his second start for trainer Budd and he picks up driver Henry while dropping back in for a tag. There are a few things to like here; top call. (7) MYSTERY BET is also worth a look on the class drop although missing more than a month is a concern; demand a price. (2) A J DESTINY comes off a monster upset racing at this level and he could trip out again; consider. (1) HOPES SOLO is another who can sit a nice following trip from the rail and land in the Super.
Race 7 - F&M 5YO and Younger NW2 L or $28,000 LT - Pick 4
(2) SHAD had no shot at Flamboro with the trip she got but now she returns much quicker so a more aggressive try is likely. (7) SHEBESAILIN is another who should be more forwardly-placed early in the mile and she could wire these if Roy sends her. (4) BACK IN THE GAME brings wins over from the Maritimes and she could be a threat in her local debut. (3) SMILE SALLY is likely to get better position leaving the gate here and that puts her in the exotics mix.
Race 8 - CLM $15,000 for NW $25,000 LT
(9) HAULIN OATS was a sharp winner here when dropped in for a tag and he gets the call to repeat despite the poor post. (7) HOPE FOR HEAVEN similarly was a strong winner in the snow at Flamboro in fast time for the conditions and he's on my multi-race tickets. The colt that won (2) DONT DILLY DALI's most recent race has already come back to win and he merits a look for the Tri and Super in this easier spot. (8) BETTORS PARLAY can pass a few of these in the back 1/2 and take a slice.
Race 9 - F&M 5YO and Younger NW2 or $28,500 LT
(3) BIG NARANCIA gets McClure here after taking a shuffle last time. This is a good spot for her and she gets the nod. (7) MORNING HAS BROKEN should be sent forward leaving the gate and she could get a good trip up front; using. (2) MY BABY GIRL has the fastest mark which was taken over this track and her form has been improving. She is another multi-race option. (6) ZARCONIA SEELSTER brings some decent form from Ottawa. She should close late for a slice vs. these.
Race 10 - NW $3,000 L5 or NW $7,000 L10
(6) LEGEND WITHIN faced some tough veterans last time at Flamboro. Filion may send him right down the road in this spot. (7) SOMBRE has the best recent form in here and he is hard to leave off the late Pick tickets. (5) MORALLY FLEXIBLE has improving form and he is the third one I'll use on multi-race tickets. (2) SHES GOT PIZAZZ is capable of taking a share here despite the vet scratch. (10) HETTIES COMMANDER can follow along and emerge in the lane to grab a slice.
