Monday, September 23: Mohawk Park Early Pick 4 Analysis

by Al Cimaglia

September 23, 2019

The feature at Woodbine Mohawk Park rolls in Race 8, a condition trot with a $25,000 purse. The Early 0.20 Pick 4 begins in Race 4. It is a very competitive sequence with a $50,000 guaranteed pool and will be my focus.

Comments and selections below are based on a fast track.

Race 4

4-R First Class-Caught a great trip to win last, previous start was sharp, in form so will string along here.
5-Derf Hanover-Only 1-22 at Wbsb, but will look past in an open race as last was a better effort and draws well.
6-Free Willy Hanover-ML chalk is a check getter and now drops to good level to snag an overdue win.

Race 5

2-Julerica-Steps up but so do others, drew off in a fast mile for 2nd straight, loses Roy but Filion can put in play.
3-Cheapskate Hanover-Not crazy about the stale date but last was very sharp and if dialed on high can win again.
5-Devils Peak-Will swing for a price in 2nd start for new barn, in the hunt with a top effort.
9-Rockin Wizard-Can leave quickly, won last mostly because of a great start, could follow the same script tonight.

Race 6

3-Undercover Strike-Has been trying hard and comes off a nice win, could be an encore if Henley finds live cover.
5-Twofourroadie-Makes 7th start of '19, needs a trip but draws well and fits in a competitive race at a square price.
7-Vesuvio Bi-Racing well and Henry can fire out to get a good seat, or the top and not look back.

Race 7

1-Shezarealdeal-This is a spot to shine, should be bet and looks like a major player.
4-Thrillonthebeach-Couldn't hang on so just missed at this class in the slop, will respect that effort and use here.
8-Sudden Passing-McNair takes a spin, can roll late and fits with this bunch, figures to be in mix unless pace is dull.
