Woodbine    Race 3,   5 furlongs   $20,000   (2:01 ET)

Best Value Play: #1 Discreet Glen (6/1)

Most Likely Winner: #5 Saratoga Boy (2/1)

Other Contenders: #2 Stormin Clooney (5/2), #6 Good Answer (3/1)

Analysis: Saratoga Boy runs for a high percentage owner/trainer, looks to be the pace of the race and takes a little drop for his second race after a rest. Stormin Clooney takes yet another drop pursuing the Winner’s Circle and he looks fit after a hot heat last hot. Good Answer is a little hard to figure but he can win if he fires his best shot. Discreet Glen runs for one of the best jock/trainer combinations in Canada. Second race after a layoff is definitely a plus from this barn and those long works signal readiness.      

Woodbine    Race 5,   6 1/2 furlongs    $25,000   (2:59 ET)

Best Value Play: #5 Keep the Cash (12/1)

Most Likely Winner: #9 Calgary Cat (5/2)

Other Contenders: #3 Weather Bill (3/1) #6 Drenched (4/1)

Analysis: Calgary Cat looks to be the best and runs for the powerful Casse stable with Husbands on board. Extremely hard to play against this one. Weather Bill has tangled with Calgary Cat and almost outran him. Bill is dangerous if he gets the lead and controls the pace. Drenched will challenge Bill for the lead and Drenched may get the better of it if he is patient and could possible beat Calagary Cat to the wire. Keep the Cash cannot be dismissed and if a speed duel develops he can be running late with Calgary Cat.
