Hollywood for Saturday 17 July 2010
[private]
Handicappers Corner   one more day of Hollywood Sunday and then it is on to beautiful Del Mar
Â
race 1Â Â Â average clarity
6 Lucy Got Lucky  just claimed by Morey who is dynamite 1st out after the claim....consistent horse should get a nice chasing trip behind a suspect leaderÂ
1 Saint Cindy  wide trip in last or would have had a shot...claimed back by Carava and he puts J Garcia back aboard who has ridden this filly well
2 Acute Velocity  consistent sort drops back to a more suitable level 2nd out after the claim
Â
race 2Â Â Â slightly above average clarity
4 Teddy's Promise  best set of works for a Hofmans 1ster in quite some time especially considering she is a 2 year old state bred
7 Faisca barn is much tougher with 2nd time starters...this filly trains like a runner and I think she will show it today
3 Miles Rules  decently bred and the Sise has been sending out mamy his 1st timers ready the last few months
8Â Love At The Bay
Â
race 3Â Â Â slightly below average clarity
5 Wenden  blinkers on for this already fast speedster....won her 1st 3 lifetime races then caught a couple of monsters in her next 2 races....faces much easier today
1 Fairway Road  Dollase barn has really woken up...lone lifetime grass race fits fine in this spot
6 Great Atlantic  laid up late runner is training as if she is ready to roll in her return to the race wars
Â
race 4Â Â Â slightly above average clarity
2 Moon The French  last looks like a prep race (off for 2/3 of a year) for today's Grade 2 affair... Baffert has been winning local big races by the handfuls lately
4 Free Flying Soul  nice consistent sort would have been my top pick if this race was less than 7 furlongs......needs to overcome her tendency to flatten at 7F or longer
5 Make For Magic  sharp drill says good chance at a rebound...should be closing fats late
Â
race 5Â Â Â average clarity
1 Sammartino  solid first on the grass in last racing a bit too wide...blinkers on (nice 3/8 drill 4 days ago) to help focus and hopefully be closer to the rail and pace today
8 Loro  broke very bad....rushed.....and ran a little wide and of course tired......has had 7 weeks off to learn the game with the capable guidance of J Shirreffs...1st on the sod but bred decently for it
6 Intuitive Nature  on the improve with every start...closer seems to have enough early pace to fire into
4Â Gallatin's Run
Â
race 6Â Â Â above average clarity
2 Bullfighter   works say all set for the winners circle with this Baffert lai up dropper.....whole career handles these fig and pace wise
6 Sognatore  significant drop and a very big rider switch
3 Beauteous Maximus closer gets some pace to make his late run
5Â Sky Searcher
Â
race 7Â Â Â slightly above average clarity
6 My Maloof Rocker  looks loose on the lead in this spot and best of all is a very rateable animal
2 Operetta Italiano  no shot in last with a very wide trip...good chance to get a chasing position behind our top pick
3 Entabeni  figs on the lawn fit fine but...needs to keep from flattening out past 1 mile
Â
race 8Â Â Â average clarity
7 Partywithlarryz   solid move forward in latest which was the 1st run for his new trainer.....Carava and Rosario have been stellar together the last couple of months
5 Gentle Romeo drifted out or could have won his last at a higher level.....has his physical troubles but may have one more good race left in him...I doubt many more
1 High Standards last is decent and his run 2 back is solid....may be able to get a good chase postion behind a suspect leader
10Â Â Gold Star Status
Â
race 9   average clarity
1  Sydney's Candy  yet to prove himself with a significant pace in any race but he sure has run big when allowed to coast along early....2nd pick is capable decent pace
4 Skipshot  send or sit off of the heavy favorite....either way does have a shot at the upset
2 Alphie's Bet  wins this with his big late run if 1 and 4 hhok up
Â
race 10Â Â Â slightly below average clarity
 9 Stormy Ambition  decent chance to be loose on the lead with a good speed rider aboard.....postive rider switvh
11 Southern Victory  drop down has a decent chance to get a good chase poeition...G Mandella is having a nice Hollywood meeting
4 Philly Star  earned a par like fig with a very wide trip at a route in his last...might be closing late at a big price
10Â Jesse's Soul
8Â Ned Page
