Tonight, there is a mandatory payout on the Jackpot Hi-5 in Race 11 at Woodbine Mohawk Park. The wager is a 0.20 base bet with a 15% takeout, and there is a $214,212.80 carryover. Comments and selections below are based on a fast track.

My ticket will key 4-Rockabilly Rebel N (5-1) on top. Consistency is not the strong suit of the Team McNair entry. Usually doesn't leave so will likely not be in the top 3 around the opening turn. Has to avoid getting shuffled and being too far away from the leaders when heading down the lane. Did rally when able to shake free in last, to miss by 1 1/4 lengths to finish 3rd, and the two who finished ahead are not in this field. The positives are Doug McNair knows this one well, can close in a hurry, and could be overlooked at the windows. Needs an honest pace and if so the one-move type could surprise with a sharp steer. This outfit is posting 21% winners over the last 30 days and that is well above their 14% yearly average.

The next pair of horses, 2-Kolby Two Step (4-1) and the 12-Elliot Moose (15-1) will be keyed in the 2-3-4 slots. Both have been in the hunt and will look for them to race big and be a part of the payout. Elliot Moose could get away in decent shape because Louis Roy on 2-Kolby Two Step should leave with more gusto than the last start. If that happens Elliot Moose could be forwardly placed by Ed Hensley early on, despite leaving from the 2nd tier. This ticket will use both underneath and not key the program chalk, 1-Stormalong (3-1) and the 2nd chalk 3-Momas Son Byrne (7/2). My play won't be the most popular ticket punched but the return will be solid if it connects.

The Jackpot Hi-5 has many possibilities without a 12-horse field. When the two trailers are added it makes handicapping all the more difficult. The coverage on the $48 play is good as long as 4-2-12 perform well.
