Sunday Woodbine preview

Lane 1 and firm for the turf on another hot/humid day in Toronto.

The Jackpot Hi 5 begins anew after yesterday's mandatory payout, an un-jackpot-like $4K.

Two BC Win and You're Win 2yo stakes highlight the terrific 10-race card, including the G1 Natalma for fillies. March X Press, unbeaten in a pair of sprints at Saratoga, is the 5-2 morning line favorite while stretching out to a mile.

Wonder Gadot graduated at first asking by four lengths in the allowance prep for the Natalma for trainer Mark Casse, who's seeking his fourth straight Natalma score. Golden Orb notched her debut around two turns at the Spa. English invader Capla Temptress is a wild card off a third in a G2. No Lasix for her.

The unbeaten sprinter Hemp Hemp Hurray is 2-1 on the line in the G2 Summer going a mile. His trainer, Wesley Ward, is winless with his last 18 Woodbine starters, so he's worth trying to beat.

Appealing alternatives include the locals Count Alexander and Admiralty Pier. Empirically lost his only race by disqualification going long at Saratoga, where Untamed Domain recently closed for third in the G3 With Anticipation. The latter is adding blinkers, a potent angle for trainer Graham Motion, who was here yesterday when he sent out Quidura to take the G2 Canadian.

The Sweet Briar Too Stakes is down to a seven-horse field due to the scratches of Luckfromabove, Code Warrior and Cactus Copy.
