Woodbine Mohawk Park has an 11-race card with the 0.20 Early Pick 5 starting in Race 1. The sequence has a $75,000 guaranteed pool. The 0.20 Early Pick 4 rolls in Race 3, and it will be my focus. Comments and selections below are based on a fast track.

Race 3 (7:26 PM EST)

1-Bella Cavalla (3-1)-Was claimed by trainer Corey Giles in early December and won at first asking. Then was claimed on 12-30 by the same barn and the Fellows stable once again was the seller. Beaten chalk should get a better trip tonight and JMac sticks. Could immediately reward new connections once again.
8-Crystal Baller (4-1)-Lost all chance after breaking stride on 12-30. Before that was a close 2nd to this kind. Might be overlooked, has the gate speed to get a good early seat and be heard from at the wire.

Race 4 (7:49 PM EST)

3-Perfetto (3-1)-Came a good 2nd at 17-1 and was off 2 weeks before the last race. Comes back in sequence here, and should be there at the wire again.
7-Truffles Too (5-1)-Has been in good form in the last 2 races since shipping in from Pocono. Broke stride in 3 straight at PcD. But hasn’t made a miscue at Mohawk and won its last start, which was at this level. Drew off by almost 4 lengths and will look for another picture versus tougher.

Race 5 (8:12 PM EST)

2-Day Trader (3-1)-Was only 1 for 17 last year but in general this field struggles to win. Did hit the board in 10 of 26 at Mohawk and took 4 pictures. Gets post relief, plus a positive driver change in JMac and may have met a beatable field.
4-Lets Go Jude-(7/2)-Doug McNair is back and will steer his father’s entry who comes off a 10-hole effort at this level. Got on the engine but faded down the lane. Will look for a bounce back performance and for this pilot to work a better journey.

Race 6 (8:35 PM EST)

3-Eyes Of Justice (6-1)-Not going to hold the last race against the 7-year-old who had been in the mix over a string of starts. Trevor Henry should have this veteran in play off the gate. Will look for honest fractions and could finish best of all at a solid price.
4-Ciel Bleu (8-1)-Comes off a no-mile starting from the 9-hole in the 1st race after shipping in from RidC. Was in sharp form in the previous 7 starts and will expect better in the 2nd try at Mohawk. Looking for an aggressive steer from Guy Gagnon and could be a big number.
