by Al Cimaglia

March 11, 2019

The feature at Woodbine Mohawk Park rolls in Race 9, a Preferred Trot with a $34,000 purse. The popular 0.20 Early Pick 4 sequence begins in Race 4. It has a $50,000 guaranteed pool and will be my focus. 

Comments and selections below are based on a fast track. 

Race 4 

4-Levy Taylore-Should get a very good trip from here and has raced well for Johnson. 
6-Crocadile Canyon-1st time Shepherd off the claim plus McNair's choice and he can keep in striking range. 

Race 5 

2-Bautista-ML chalk is sharp, winner of 2 straight is a main threat. But will hope trip is an issue and use others as well. 
3-So Not Cool-Has been very consistent, draws well and is too good to overlook at 8-1 in the ML. 
5-Perfetto-Returned from a rest and last 4 starts for Henriksen have been much better, can pop with some live cover. 
6-Head Turning Jag-Been racing well and can beat this group at a square price with the right trip. 

Race 6 

1-Charlie Is A Joker-Does well on the engine, gets needed class and post relief, should be a major player. 
3-Ole Jack Magic-8-year-old needs to be at the right class to take a picture and this is that spot. 

Race 7 

5-Brickman-3rd start after a sick scratch and last was better. Usually in the hunt and draws better than others. 
6-Real Wicked-Took the long way around and kept coming in last, could find a better route and benefit tonight. 
8-ER Quinn-Will blast out as usual but best gate speed is outside-#10, may get a pocket trip and surprise at a price. 
10-Kwicky Kwanzaa-Looked good last week beating same, but that was from the rail, can't ignore but will try to beat.
