Race Preview - Mohawk Raceway - Race 6 Armbro Flight Elimination 3YO Fillies and Mare Trot

1-China Pearl (7-1) 2-Mystical Starlight (7-1) 3-Personal Style (3-1) 4-Cedar Dove (4-1) 5-Superstar Hanover (6-1) 6-Dorsay (8-1) 7-One More Ginny (8-1) 8-Unefoisdansmavie (9-2) 9-Pembroke Heat Wave (12-1)

The first thing I noticed about this race is the 8-Unefoisdansmavie and how she can leave and close - both - depending on what the race calls for. That's a very handy trait for a trotter. She's hit the board from inside, outside and midtrack posts and I know that Yannick Gingras will try to put her where she can take advantage of her flexibility. I think she just might win this race.

For second and third, I like the 2-Mystical Starlight and 3-Personal Style. They've been running up to this class and speed in their last few races and have good drivers and trainers.

Not that there aren't other good drivers in this race who will take advantage of any missteps or lapses in attention that might happen. The 5-Superstar Hanover and the 6-Dorsay flashed some speed in their last races. And the 7-One More Ginny has hit the exacta in 4 out of 5 races this year.

For that reason, I'll include her in my super.

My picks for this race are the 8-2-3-7.

As always, safe trips and good racing luck to all the trotters and drivers in this race.
