The feature at Woodbine Mohawk Park rolls in Race 9, a condition pace with a $25,000 purse. The 0.20 Early Pick 4 begins in Race 4. That sequence has a $50,000 guaranteed pool and will be my focus.
Comments and selections below are based on a fast track.
Race 4
3-Tommy Terror-Has been sharp, from this post Jamieson can put in play early, ML chalk can make it 3 straight.
7-Dovuto Hanover-Seems to make a habit of a falling short but should have a good chance at a picture here.
Race 5
1-Big Rich-Makes 3rd straight start after a rest and this time comes back in 7-days for Roy and Moreau.
3-Jangone-McClure takes a seat, gets a good post draw and thinking this could be a wake-up call.
6-What A Rush-Has been dialed in since coming off the bench earlier this month, should offer a square price.
8-Mr Contestant-Drops to spot to shine and has the gate speed to get a close-up seat.
Race 6
2-Dreamfair Moxy-Winner of last 2 in Grassroots action by open lengths, best to respect as tries for 3rd straight.
4-Sugartown-Very consistent in last 6 starts, Roy returns and beaten chalk can make amends.
5-Velocity Poprocks-4-year-old has come to life this year and is looking at 4 in a row since solving breaking issues.
8-Carlismo-Nice colt and barn has been going well, can leave to find a good seat and stay in the hunt.
Race 7
4-Quadrangle-Needs a trip but can get sucked around, if things go well will roll late at a square price.
5-Alarm Detector-Was a monster at 2, moves up after an easy even-money win, thinking an encore is in the cards.
