Mohawk's 12-race card features Grass Roots-Ontario Sire Stakes Finals for two and three-year-olds. As usual there will be an Early 0.20 Pick 4 beginning in Race 4 with a $50,000 guaranteed pool and it will be my focus.
Last night at Mohawk pilot Trevor Henry led the drivers with four wins, and there wasn't a trainer with more than one trip to the winner's circle.
Comments and selections below are based on a fast track.
Race 4
4-Osborne Seelster-Will need best but has a post edge and the speed to get on the engine.
5-Jins Shark-Should like the company and this could be a wakeup call.
7-Classic Pro-Has back class and has been racing better, could be sitting on a big try.
8-Lyons Williams-Start will be key, with a good early seat can be pick off foes late.
9-Nickle Bag-Back to level of last win, post will make for a better price.
Race 5
3-Free Exchange-Flew home from the 10 hole and should make the most of a better post draw.
4-Freya Seelster-Winner of last 4, looks like a major player tonight.
8-Shadow Sparks-Will likely leave and be handled aggressively, may get the top or 2-hole.
Race 6
4-Say You Do-Drew off by 12 in confident fashion in last, looks to be primed for another top effort.
8-Jammin Jack-Minded manners in last and took a picture, if behaves could win again.
Race 7
1-Wager On Me-Last was better than it looked, and from this post will respect chances to improve.
4-Century Farroh-Winner of 3 straight has been consistently good and looking for same here.
5-The First Step-Trying hard but finally gets a good post draw, best to respect.
