Woodbine Mohawk Park has 10-races scheduled for this evening. The feature goes in Race 6, a Preferred Trot with a $26,000 purse. The 0.20 Early Pick 4 starts as usual in Race 4. The sequence has a $50,000 guaranteed pool and it will be my focus.
Comments and selections below are based on a fast track.
Race 4
1-Northern Sultan (7/2)-Two race win streak was snapped in last after cashing a couple of nice checks in previous 2 starts. This post draw won't hurt and shouldn't blush at the company. Chris C's choice over #3 and #5.
3-Jula Shes Magic (3-1)-Finished 2nd in the Harvest Final for the gals. Filion takes the lines has the talent to threaten the colts if minds manners.
4-Magics Wizard (8-1)-Henry can put this horse on the point or in the 2 hole and if so, chances for success go up. Might be overlooked at the windows, has been consistently in the mix and is worth a swing at a solid price.
Race 5
6-Dreamy Fella (7/2)-Auciello trainee is camera shy, the same as many in this field, but usually is in the hunt. Drury returns and did close well into a slow pace. Needs a trip and may finally get rewarded.
7-Denali Seelster (3-1)-This is a drop and pop situation and if Filion can't get this colt to wake-up it may signal trouble. This is a spot to shine but my gut says to use others as well.
10-Carsons Shadow (10-1)-There isn't much consistency found at this class level. If Jamieson can keep this 4-year old close coming down the lane a picture could happen. Using at a price, held its own versus better and has one nice move.
Race 6
1-Oney Hall (3-1)-Six race win streak was snapped on 11/30. Started from post 9 in the slop and broke stride down the lane. Now draws the rail and should be in position to start a new winning streak.
6-Perfetto (9/2)-Has put in a couple of flat lines and has the gate speed to get a good early seat. Raced well in last in the slop and is only 1-7 on an off-track. Using just in case #1 isn't dialed on high.
Race 7
2-Tuapeka Jessie N (6-1)- Raced well in last coming off a sick scratch and missing about 4 weeks. Should be better tonight and Jamieson can work a cozy trip from this post.
6-Mary Kat (3-1)-Three-year-old has been sharp as a tack and has won 7 of 27 in 2020. There's no reason to leave off the ticket.
7-My Baby Girl (4-1)-Rolled down the lane in 55.2 in 2nd race off the bench. That start came from post 10 and should be in better striking range here.
