Hollywood for Saturday 10 July 2010
[private]
Handicappers Corner
Oops...Hollywood races next week....Yesterday I said Del Mar started next week....I can read the form but I guess I'm not so hot reading a Calender
Recommended pick 3 part wheel starts in the 4th race
3,5,6 with 1,5,7,8,9 with 4,8 30 bets
race 1 average clarity
8 Tweebster has enough speed to clear and wire the field...unbelievable hot trainer/rider combo
5 Squad showed he is a legit racehorse in last...1st turf and bred fine for it...1st time long is a concern
4 Brave Zulu not too many trainers are capable of getting a 1ster ready to run competitively in a route race in their MSW debut...Mandella is and they drills say ready
2 Hog's Hollow needs a move forward and may get it with 1st time Bejarano shooting for the riding title
race 2 average clarity
10 Chavez Ravine big works say ready fresh off of the bench....good on or near the lead position
4 My Man Murf seems to appreciate the somewhat specialist distance of 7F........7F today
3 Changing another who runs well at 7F.....needs to rebound a little and may..small but dangerous barn
8 One Vote bounced back some in last...very dangerous if shows better once again
race 3 average clarity
3 Movie Duty last two races with blinkers off are impressive....loose today with top gun on her back
2 Saanneen good win in return to the race wars......deservedly steps up....feels good most likely...can once again get a nice chase position
6 Tiz Folly toss out last.....she was very washy...race 2 back fits fairly well...that washy excusable clunker in her last will help today's price
race 4 slightly above average clarity
5 Z Z Warrior no brainerfor top pick here...monster drills for this 1stertimer and Baff trained...top jock for barn aboard
3 Donato no brainer no. 2...more big drills from another Baffert 1ster
6 Apriority Gary Mandella has been hot of late...this colt needs to rebound......and sprinting may make that happen.....MSW debut 4 back was a hugh bad trip effort
race 5 slightly above average clarity
1 Sir Dave smartly drops to earn his keep...top jock stays along for the ride
8 No Dream another dropping to a more appropriate level
9 Grey Storm very sharp GG invader has done little wrong on the sod...beat a solid 20K group at GG
5 Victorian Prince will be on or near the lead from the get go....may show much more than last when he acted up at the gate
race 6 slightly above average clarity
4 Gayego absolutely loves the Hollywood surface and isn't too shabby elsewhere as well
8 New Bay broke bad and ran a little wide and still won 1st time for Mitchell at today's distance....training extremely well especially for a guy like M Mitchell.....6 less lbs today
1 E Z's Gentleman impressive Grade 3 run in last...very sharp animal has a difficult post to cope with...but barn has been magical
3 M One Rifle MikeSmith has a shot to slow things down up front and if he does he may............go..........all.........the.............way
race 7 average clarity
3 Mallinson Road NZinvader was really getting good until he bled in his last overseas start...1st Lasix today and training up a storm for 1st time Hollendorfer
1 Seattle Ruler in very sharp form albeit on the AW......1st ever on the grass but the pedigree says yes I can
11 Amazombie fresh off the bench and that is usually a good thing for this gelding...closer needs a great ride from M Smith from the difficult outer-most post
9 Street Car on the improve on the synthetic...training well for that Bafert guy...OK grass breeding
race 8 above average clarity
4 Richard's Kid loves the classic 1 1/4 mile distance....and finally gets a small field to aid in finding a ground saving trip that should end in a big big close
6 Rail Trip smooth beautiful runner will sit behind a couple of speed horses most likely...pass and try to hold off Baffert's monster...hard for me to split top 2 picks
3 Awesome Gem will need very best and a good trip to upset the top pair...barn has woken up lately
race 9 slightly above average clarity
1 Cadillac faced better in last 2 and ran credibly....late runner seemingly gets pace to close into
4 Nevada Worrier both race fit since the layoff.....question is does he have another good run left in him...2 or 3 races usually knocks him out
5 Majestic Diamond owns some stout/better back figs that would clobber these...3rd after the layoff may awaken
6 Sea Of Pleasure rocket will be loose and try to hang own
race 10 average clarity
12 Rock 'N Rule good return to the races off a long hiatus from the race track in 2nd lifetime start....solid if moves forward at all
6 Quintons Flash last looks like the gimme to cut claiming price in 1/2 and go go go in 2nd lifetime endeavor
10 Swingin Jim new barn and eye popping drills out of nowhere....always a dangerous thing
14 Jacobs Bro laid up horse but red hot barn
7 Highest Honors wound up 1ster with tightly spaced drills may be an up-setter
