The 0.20 Pick 5 kicks off the card at Woodbine Mohawk Park. The sequence has a $75,000 guaranteed pool and will be my focus.

Comments and selections below are based on a fast track.

Race 1

2-Emily Antoinette (4-1)-Raced well in defeat coming off a sick scratch against a tough winner. Looks like it could be picture time but doesn't standout well above the others.
5-Forged In Fire (8-1)-Drew off by >10 lengths at FlmD and now tries the big track. Fits into this condition because of earnings. May continue winning ways off of last confidence builder.
6-Hoya Saxa (10-1)-Gets a new set of hands in JMac and looking for a price. Was too far back into a slow half and the race before got on the engine and faded. Maybe finds the sweet spot and gets an honest pace and rolls by late.
9-Up And Trending (8-1)-Post draw doesn't help but comes off a nice qualifier and stayed flat with a 58.3 back half. Here's another with some ability and this filly may be ready for a big try.

Race 2

1-Hammering Haley (2-1)-14-time winner in 2019 makes 2nd start off a claim for Auciello. Finished 3rd to some tough mares in last and looks like a major player tonight.
6-Lucky Player (7/2)-Makes 1st start for Cullen barn and Henry steers. Camera shy 7-year-old is in good form and is a solid threat with any improvement off the claim.

Race 3

4-TLF Royal Lake (3-1)-4-year-old makes 3rd career start and does like to trot in the back half of miles. Maybe McClure can avoid a very sluggish start and if fractions are swift chances go up.
9-Charmbo Prince (8-1)-Makes 3rd start and has been sharp in both outings. Trotted the back half in .58 in winning last as an odds-on chalk. As long as the fractions are honest chances for a repeat are good.

Race 4

2-Tomy Terror (5-1)-Was used hard from the 7-hole and got the top but faded late. That was a sharp effort and a new tactic. Should be put in play early and can pop at a square price with a decent trip.
7-Casimir Overdrive (2-1)-Claimed again and posted another win. Now starts for the Johnson barn and Roy will be looking for some cover and then try to pull away down the lane.

Race 5

1-Mr Contestant (9/2)-Drops into a spot to shine and could be put in play from the first call. Looking for a big try and might get the 2-hole trip behind #2.
2-Hockey Hanover (7/2)-Thinking the front end will hold-up better than it did with this crew last time. Should be bet and can probably get the top without much strain.
