Tonight, Woodbine Mohawk Park has a competitive card with 10 races scheduled. The very popular 0.20 Early Pick 5 starts the action. The sequence has a $100,000 guaranteed pool and it will be my focus.

Comments and selections below are based on a fast track.

Race 1

1-Electrapedia (4-1)-Makes 2nd start for new connections. Was off for 5 weeks before last start which was an even effort in the slop. Sports an 0-3 record on an off-track, so looking for better and should be forwardly placed.
3-High Gear No Fear (5/2)-Winner of 2 in a row beat this entire field in last start. Draws well, barn has been good and there's no reason to leave out.
4-The First Chapter (3-1)-Was good 2 starts back and caught a rough trip in the slop in last. Jamieson should be able to work a better trip and he has options, looks like a threat at a fair price.

Race 2

4-Passion N Pearls (8-1)-Has been trying hard and gets post relief so will use looking for a more friendly trip. Camera shy filly could be over looked at the windows in a race with many question marks.
5-Oceanview Echo (4-1)-Drew off by 7 lengths at London and now steps up. McNair will probably send and hope the long stretch can be negotiated. Likes to win, using and will hope big track debut is a success.
8-Better Country (3-1)-Has been trying hard despite 0-9 record as post draws haven't been kind. In last 3 starts, 2 were from the 2nd tier. Roy should have in play and has faced better competition than the rest of the field.

Race 3

6-HP Bruxelles (9/2)-Last was in the slop, was off 3-weeks and had a tough trip so there were excuses. Beat this kind the start before from the 9-hole. Looking for a bounce back effort at a square price.
7-Life Is A Feast (4-1)-Jamieson takes the lines and there isn't much gate speed inside so he could be leaving. Has a post edge over #8 and chances go up with an alert start.
8-Nimbus Deo (7/2)-Has won 8 of 11 at Wbsb and will toss last break on a sloppy track. Regular pilot Filion returns and best to not overlook. Should be a player with a decent trip and this the 2nd start on Lasix.

Race 4

9-Darkest Secret (7/2)-McClure steers the other Moreau trainee, and this one has decent gate speed. The plan could be to leave, get on the engine, steal a quarter and take a picture. Best to respect that happening.
10-Sunshines Finest (3-1)-Filion's pick over the 9 just handled $8k claimers and now moves up. Most of this field aren't proven $10k claimers so chances for a repeat rests on a trip from the 2nd tier.

Race 5

7-A Boy Named Suuzz (7/2)-Beat the $17k claimers for 4th straight win. Now in for a $25k tag and still looks like a major player.
9-Cinnamack (3-1)-Raced big from post 8 in a determined effort to collar Choreographer last week. In for a $29,000 tag so has to find a way from an outside post gain. Drury is back between the pipes and should be in the hunt at the wire.
