race 1Â Â Â slightly above average clarity
5 Miss Picaboo  earned a solid fig with a bad trip in her debuted and was claimed by the red hot Mitchell barn
1 Holloween Candy  all 3 lifetime races fits...drops out of MSW racing......owns significant early speed and can get away
6 Chobe Chika  all 3 lifetime runs on the AW fit fairly well here....good speed...needs to avoid a duel with the 1 horse
Â
race 2Â Â Â slightly above average clarity
1 Lions Story  barn and rider are red hot as a team.......consistent sort just missed in his last his 1st at a route...should be tough again Â
4 Just Magic  capable of very big pace....should be loose here and lookout if he rates kindly in his 1st route race endeavor
Â
race 3Â Â Â slightly above average clarity
1 Rule The Storm  high % win/place race mare and a high % trainer = a deadly combination
2 Talktoomuch  needs ample time between races and gets it....has been facing better mostly....barn is somewhat hot
7 Girl of Pangaea  interesting animal in that this horse finally is going to run with short rest....stepping up the claiming ladder a couple of notches...might be feeling good
Â
race 4Â Â Â slightly above average clarity
9 Zilarator  Baffert is having a tremendous meet and this colt is improving with every start...back to top Baffjock...1st long but bred nicely to handle a route of ground
7 Greely's Ghost  earned a very strong figure caught wide with pace in last...would have been top pick if this was a sprint race but I'm a leery of this one running as well at a route
3 St. Joel  horrendous trip in last very wide trying to keep up with strong pace....good trip and same effort would make him as good as anyone in this affair
4 Spinco Bob  on the improve and this deep closer might get the strong pace up front to make his somewhat inferior ability a factor in the late going when others are tiring
Â
race 5 average clarity
4 Enunclaw  O'Neal just claimed this improving mare and brings her back for the same 25K he snatched her for...should be a major factor
2 A Sassy Fusaichi  another mare claimed seemingly in good form and has the right connections to be ready 1st out under the tutelage of her new trainer
7 Burna Dette solid fig in last and was compromised by a lack of pace up front to put in her best late run....more pace today seems likely
Â
race 6Â Â Â slighty below average clarity
4 Ash Fork   yet to fire a bad race since the blinkers were removed.....capable of rating off of what should be a decent pace up front...traing as if a move forward is likely
8Â Miss Olivia KÂ Â consistent efforts in all 5 lifetime races.....small but capable barn is hot......solid 5F work 6 days ago...few reasons to think that this filly won't fire a competitive effort again
11 Frequent Fame  4 wide trip in last...beaten by 4......rail trip 2 back...won by a neck.......4 wide trip 3 back...beaten by 3....gets pace up front so save some ground Mr Baze and this filly maybe there when it counts
1 Warren's Swamp Fox   just claimed by a trainer who has a stellar record 1st after the claim.....1 for 1 at today's 6 1/2 furlong distance and she broke from the same 1 post as she does today
Â
race 7Â Â Â above average clarity
6 Amina  very impressive solid pace and final time (mostly a hand ride) off of the long hiatus from the track...2nd time under M Mitchell's tutelage can be just as sweet
2 Good Night Gyrene  sure appears to love the Hollywood racing surface (3 of 4 wins all going away at the wire) best win now just a few weeks to go in the meeting
4 Tribalicious  good turf 3rd in her latest off of the long layoff.....sharp work since...runs fine on the AW as well....high likelihood she moves forward today
Â
race 8Â Â Â average clarity
4 Georgie's Sweetie  solid debut and Walsh is most often stronger with 2nd time starters
1 Cookinthisorthat bad trip in last somewhat hides this one's solid move forward...fig fits solidly at today's level
2 Faisca  not much of a 1st timer trainer but the works are too strong to ignore
10 Palais De L'elysee  very rigorous and aggressively long works for a 2 year old in June....dangerous 1st timer
7 Arta B Tappin  one of her 4 lifetime starts (her race 2 back) fits solidly at today's level
