Woodbine Mohawk Park has a solid 13-race card featuring talented 2-year-old trotters and pacers. The headliner rolls in Race 10, the William Wellwood Memorial for 2-year-old trotters with a $620,000 purse. The 0.20 Early Pick 4 starts in Race 4, and the sequence will be my focus.

Comments and selections below are based on a fast track.

Race 4

1-Abuckabett Hanover (3-1)-This 5-year-old can rip money out of your pocket but is difficult to leave off the ticket. Needs a trip and would lean harder if not starting from the rail. Dunn will look to not be on the engine into super quick fractions or be too far off the pace at the top of the stretch.
2-Tatoo Artist (6-1)-Willing to overlook the last race at PcD, fits better with this crew and its Wbsb record shows 21 of 27 in the money with 15 pictures. Has had trouble winning this year but owns a 1.47 mark here and Louie Roy should have forwardly placed throughout.
7-Linedrive Hanover (4-1)-Beaten chalk in the Dan Patch had a bad night, now returns to its home field and will look for much better. JMac doesn't need to lead every step of the way to win. Could offer value at the morning line price of 4-1 if dialed on high.
9-Taurasi (5-1)-There are any real standouts in this match and the pace should be quick. If Todd McCarthy is within reach of the leaders around the last turn, no one in this field can close faster.

Race 5

1-Winmeback (3-1)-Gallucci pupil has been on fire since starting Lasix 3 races back. Has won 3 in a row and last week's score on the 5/8's at RidC may have been his best effort this year. Steps-up and should be tested but my guess is we haven't seen his best.
2-Better B Bold (7/2)-Beaten chalk at RidC is back working at his favorite track where he does well (6-3-2-0). The faster they go the better for the Steacy trainee and should be rolling down the lane looking for the 3rd straight win at Wbsb.
3-Midnight Nation (6-1)-Similar to the one above in being a dangerous closer. If the 5-6-7 leave off the gate, this race could set-up nicely for the Moreau entry.

Race 6

2-Its A Love Thing (5-1)-Had trouble last time, lost significant ground by drifting out down the lane and lost by only a half- length. Could offer a square price and will take a swing JMac can keep him in a straight line to the wire.
7-Elodie Hanover (7/2)-Has been around the money in all 4 starts and posted 2 wins at Mohawk. David Miller takes a seat for the first time and that shouldn't hurt. Will look for an aggressive steer and to be racing near the top of the stack.
8-Caviart Belle (6/5)-Won at Philly and at M1 in 150 and a piece. Looks the part of a 6/5 chalk and is going for 3 straight pictures. But the post could make this a challenge, has never raced at Mohawk and will be a tiny price.

Race 7

5-Drawn Impression (7/5)-Muscle Hill filly came out of the box with 2 very impressive wins. The Blais pupil draws well and appears to be a clean trip away from a hat trick to start her career.
