Tonight's feature at Woodbine Mohawk Park goes in Race 2, it's the opening leg of the Miss Versatility series for filly and mare trotters with a $52,800 purse. The popular 0.20 Pick 4 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
5-YC Broadway-In fine form and now draws well, should be a major player.
7-What Chapter-Nice qualifier in the slop after breaking, can beat this bunch if minds manners.
8-Alexus EH-First 2 starts off the bench were sharp, in the hunt if Byron works a trip.
Race 5
2-Clearly Better-Drops to a comfortable spot and draws well, rolls late but must avoid being too far back.
3-Fiery Beauty-Gets needed post relief, could get on the engine and not look back.
5-Kylie Seelster-Faced tougher in 1st start off the bench, should like the company and has a chance for a picture.
6-Boadicea-Another who drops into a more favorable spot, likes to win and best to respect.
Race 6
1-Severus Hanover-Makes 2nd start for Moreau and Roy should keep in play but needs to mind manners.
2-Constantino-0-10 at Wbsb is a concern, should race near the top and could surprise with the right trip.
9-Wiki Hanover-Henry's choice over the #8, took a meaningful drop and can win from the outside versus this crew.
Race 7
1-Sunshineatthebeach-0-13 LT because she can't seal the deal but will respect chances in a wide-open affair.
3-Mrs Major Hill-Finally draws well and looking for a big try with an aggressive start to be in striking range.
6-Aumydarlin-Gets post relief but comes off a sick scratch, if ready should be in the battle with a suspect group.
9-Blackcheddar-Comes off an impressive win in 1st career start at FlmD, will use and hope Jamieson works a trip.
