 Woodbine    Race 8,   7 furlongs Claiming $16,000 (4:23 ET)

 Best Value Play: # 8 Glory Game  (6/1)

 Most Likely Winner: #4 Tapit’s Brew  (2/1)

 Other Contenders: #3 Prized Humor (7/2), #7 Seething (3/1)

 Analysis: Tapit’s Brew has 11 career wins and drops in half for successful trainer Fairlie. Contreras gets the call and last year this jock/trainer combo held a 35% win rate and 75% in the money rate last year. Prized Humor is in top form and register a big speed fig last out. Seething is an off the pace threat and ran a little better than Prized Humor last out. Glory Game has a splendid career record and is familiar with his foes. He gets a great post for his style and if he is right he could be a sneaky winner.  

Woodbine   Race 9,   6 1/2 furlongs  Claiming $20000 (4:46 ET)

Best Value Play: #5 Royal Privilege (12/1)

Most Likely Winner: #9 Miss Tatey Cat (3/1)

Other Contenders: #1 Sell Sell Sell (4/1) #3 Alpha Away (6/1)

Analysis: Miss Tatey Cat comes back for a second time after a layoff for trainer Mark Casse. Add in Boulanger as pilot plus a drop in class and you have the probable winner. Sell Sell Sell gets a needed drop and will be a threat from off the pace. Alpha Away gets another drop and Da Silva stays on. Could be dangerous with her speed. Royal Privilege had a tough start last our but still ran respectable. Successful trainer Sid Attard drops her again and she could surprise.
