Tonight, there is a mandatory payout on the Jackpot Hi-5 in Race 14 at Woodbine Mohawk Park. The wager is a 0.20 base bet with a 15% takeout, and there is a $131,002.73 carryover. Comments and selections below are based on a fast track, but as of this writing the weather forecast is not favorable.

Normally concerning weather, the chances of rain are not usually discussed in my analysis. The reason being my handicapping can take place well over 24 hours before race time. A few times in the past a wet track seemed likely, so it was mentioned. The issue is weather changes and attempts to be timely when writing so far ahead of the race turn out or be a fool’s game. In this case the weather forecast in Milton, Ontario calls for showers both on Friday and Saturday. Hopefully, the stats below will be of help.

Here are the off-track records for the horses that will be keyed:
#6 (9-2-0-1) #1 (20-3-3-7) #3 (15-5-4-0)

My ticket will key the 6-Rockabilly Rebel N (4-1) on top. The team McNair entry fits well with this group and could offer a square price. Won 2 back coming off cover and then bumped up. That night, stayed inside into a tepid pace and cashed a small check. Versus this group, Doug McNair should be rolling once the wings fold. Has the gate speed to clear and land in a close-up seat. Needs a trip, and with a 12-horse field that can be a challenge. But has a pilot that can give the veteran a strong chance to win by being in striking range at the top of the lane.

The next pair of horses, 1-Elliot Moose (10-1) and 3-All Bets On Tex (6-1) will be keyed in the 2-3-4 slots. Both horses are in good form and could win. My play will be to use them underneath and with a fair trip they should be able to finish 2-4.

There are infinite possibilities in a 12-horse field. One's bankroll and ROI requirements are parameters and are different for each person. The play below will provide good coverage and each ticket is $16.
