Monday, March 22: Woodbine Mohawk Park Early Pick 4 Analysis

by Al Cimaglia

March 22, 2021

Woodbine Mohawk Park has a solid card set for tonight. The 0.20 Early Pick 4 begins in Race 4 and it will be my focus.

Comments and selections below are based on a fast track.

Race 4

4-Levy Taylore (7/2)-Beat this kind from the 8-hole at 7-1 and was used a couple of times. This barn has won 33% of starts in the last 30 days and this 8-year-old should enjoy the post relief.
5-Cool Rock (3-1)-Finished behind #4 in last. The trip was rough but was still rolling late. This will be the 1st start in the Moreau barn following a claim. Best to respect but is only 1 for 34 in the last 2 years and has won just 5 of 77 at Wbsb.

Race 5

2-Franks Angel (4-1)-Has raced well in the last 2 starts since joining the Henriksen barn. Appears to be best when races near the top of the stack and has the speed to get there. Looks like a player at a square price.
3-Toccoa Falls (6-1)-The concern is a slow start but has been trying hard. This post draw should help chances. Maybe Hensley can provide a good steer and put into striking range at the top of the lane.
5-RJS Invictus (8-1)-Broke 2 back but had a nice effort in last and trotted the 2nd half in 57.3. Taking a swing for a price and gets the services of McClure for the 1st time. This is the 4th start off the bench and could be sitting on a big try.

Race 6

1-Coolsunshine (6-1)-Loses McNair but Young should be able to keep in play and get away in a good seat. Price should be better tonight, could get sucked around and roll by late.
2-Big Chic Magnate (7/2)-This was McNair's choice and steps-up as is the case with #1. Has stayed flat in the last 2 starts and is a threat if minds manners.
5-Bettim Again (5/2)-Makes 1st local start and has had some quick miles on the 1/2 in Nova Scotia in 2020. Debuts for the Moreau barn and should be tough to beat if dialed on high.

Race 7

5-The Wheel (3-1)-Makes the 2nd start of the year and raced from the back last week after leaving from the 8-hole. Did roll hard in the back half closing in 27.3. Draws better and will likely be driven more aggressively from the start.
6-Hope So (5/2)-Cashed a 2nd place check in the same race as #5 and was used early from the 9-hole to get a decent seat. Went off as the chalk in last and looks like the one to beat here.
