#5 CLARKY ML 4-1
PP 5 Rallied from 6th to 3rd in single qualifier Jun 20 — showed late trot (2:03.3); another King Of The North offspring; P. Davies self-trains and drives, which sometimes signals a horse the trainer believes in strongly; line to be announced (last qualifier result promising).

PP 6 Career best 1:50.3 Wbs — far superior figures to rivals; ran 2nd twice in May in this exact class; Ma. MacDonald 2nd week in a row, suggesting trainer is setting the horse up; 0-for-29 recent but near-misses in May were genuine; post 6 is statistically the best winning post at Mohawk (21.9%).
RACE 8 — TROT | 3YO Fillies Grassroots | $18,000Post Time: ~8:50
1

LONGSHOT VALUE PLAY
#7 INTEL QUEEN ML 9-2
PP 7 Won Jun 8 wire-to-wire (1:56.2) — only horse in field that has been on the lead and held; 1 win from 3 starts in 2026 ($11,900); Travis Henry / Etsell combo 16% win rate (132 starts, $2.41 ROI); front-end pace control is underrated in a trot field that lacks a strong early move.
RACE 9 — TROT | 5YO & Under, W3-5 | $24,000Post Time: ~9:10
1
#5 EXACTLY ML 6-5
PP 5 3 wins from 5 starts in 2026 ($31,500); won Jun 14 by 6¼ lengths (1:53 Wbs), won May 25 in :27.0 last quarter; J. MacDonald / S. Bossence — barn 36% win rate (33 starts, $2.66 ROI in this combo); best career 1:52.2 Wbs, dominant when on his game.

3

PP 2 4 wins from 22 starts in 2026 ($76,950); won Jun 8 and Jun 1 back-to-back (1:53.1 both); T. Ratchford / Jeffries — 10% win (20 starts, $1.04 ROI); races consistently and is rarely a single-digit price — underbet filly for second-over closers.
LONGSHOT VALUE PLAY
#6 SEISMIC STEP ML 9-2
PP 8 $305,383 career earnings — by far the richest horse in this field; best career 1:54.1 PcD5/8; 3rd Jun 14 in tougher Wo3-5rl company (only 1¾ behind); T. Cullen / Montini — 0% recent but career says this horse can fire at any time; if he brings his A-game from the US, he’s a major threat at price.
RACE 10 — PACE | 3YO Colts Grassroots | $18,000Post Time: ~9:30
1
#5 CHOW FOR NOW ML 4-1
PP 5 Won Jun 1 wire-to-wire (1:53.0 Wbs); ran 3rd Jun 22 Grassroots making two moves in a fast 1:51.0 mile — effort was better than the number; Ma. MacDonald / Brethour — 14% win rate (7 starts); inside post is major advantage for his on-pace style; Mohawk post 5 wins 18.6%.
2
#2 BARRACUDA HANOVER ML 3-1
PP 2 3rd Jun 22 Grassroots (1:50.3 — fast mile); 3 straight shares at Grvr before this; best career 1:53.3 Wbs7/8; J. Jamieson / J. Darling — barn 50% win rate (4-start sample), driver 26% win in 19 starts with Darling; $160K HBG purchase has room to improve.
3
#1 CORONA SEELSTER ML 7-2
PP 1 2nd Jun 22 Grassroots (1:51.4, closed from 7 back to 2nd in deep stretch); 1 win from 17 starts in 2026 but $44,870 earned; L-P Roy / Puddy — Roy 16.5% YTD; rail post at Mohawk Pace is 8.7% win — needs clean early trip but closer form is trending.
LONGSHOT VALUE PLAY
#9 LIQUID ML 8-1
PP 9 Won his own qualifier (1:56.3 Wbs, Jun 8 — only horse in field that wire-to-wired a qualifier); 4th in 3 straight starts, all in fast 1:49-1:51 company that outclasses tonight’s field; J. Plante / Nixon — Plante 17% win rate (35 starts, $3.35 ROI — best ROI of any driver in Race 10); wide post is the issue, but if pace colludes, he closes.
