Hollywood for Thursday 11 November 2010
[private]
1st race pick 3 part wheels that have a potential to yield a solid return
1,2,3,4,5  with 1.2.3.5.6  with  3
1,2,3,4,5 with 2,3 with  1,5,6                  55 bets total
Â
race 1Â Â Â average clarity
3 Miles Long Gone  just claimed for 50K off of a strong (bad trip) debut 2 back......that effort with a decent journey would make him difficult to beat
2 Call Me Later  fig improving with every start....smooth runner so far in career and Rosario up....that's a nice combination and a big plus
5 Air Union  Baffert horse's just don't fire 2 consecutive uncompetitive efforts in a row lately...may have been a tune-up in a MSW to drop into claiming and fire a big one
Â
race 2Â Â Â average clarity
1Â Dubai You X Y ZÂ Â we had this 52 to 1 debut winner in our selections 8 months ago.....solid 115:4 for a March 3 year old......long hiatus from the track but drills are up to snuff and we have a rider upgrade...can be prominent from the get go
5 Lone Justice  somewhat short on figs but looks loose here with Bejarano in control
2 Crafter Hedger  tough trip in last and still managed to get up for the win....will need cleaner trip today to handle the class rise
Â
race 3Â Â Â Â average clarity
3 Resplendently  powerful run in last 1st time with the blinkers on....believe that was the needed MSW affair and it surprised the barn a bit with the big effort....but they still drop as intended because the gelding only has 7 starts in 3 years...2 good reassuring drills
6 Jakey Boy  2 years off but was only beaten by 10 lengths by Rail Trip and flashed big early speed......drops to the bottom in 2nd lifetime start...very high win % for the trainer/rider combo in 2010Â
1 Coffee Gossip  blocked on turn in debut last or much closer at the finish....blinkers on.....solid drill since.....forward move likely
 5 Logical Habit  broke poorly in mc debut last...showed some life after the compromising start
Â
race 4Â Â Â slightly above average clarity
5 Milty Way  unlucky in last 2 races in that this gelding was involved in suicidal paces....drops and back to Rosario....very short rest but trainer is one of the few with a good history with abbreviated time between races
2 Luv Dragon  big fig for this O'Neill charge (top pick is also O'Neill).....my guess is the apprentice will be told to take back or at least avoid a duel with our top pick..well proven at a route
4 Courtside Action  shocking out of nowhere 128 to 1 winner 3 length winner in last....may feel great because he's back in 5 days
Â
race 5Â Â Â Â slightly below average clarity
2 Americas Dreaming  needed last and the drills since indicate he benefited fro the race......I expect a solid run but am somewhat leary of the 1 win and 6 2nd's
4 Kayce Ace  shipper from Kee is proven on the Hol surface....good speed in this spot with the ever dangerous Rosario in control of things Â
Â
race 6Â Â Â average clarity
2 Sammy Choi  seemingly all 5 lifetime starts fit at today's level....Cavara is tough for after a claim
3 Winning Desire  faced better in last 2 races....much better placed to score at today's level........barn has had a nice FallÂ
4 Edgewick Road   nice improvement running lines lately...seems to appreciate the Hol synthetic surface
Â
race 7Â Â Â average clarity
1 Caracortado  won 1st 5 lifetime races with a low win % rider in the saddle.....laid up but very strong drills...positive rider switch...and OK grass breeding
4 Dance With Cable 4 turf sprints with Bejarano up....3 wins and a 2nd....also coming off a layoff but training up to snuff and proven freshÂ
7 Amazombie  4 for 4 with M Smith up on this 4 year old....and 2 for 2 at Hol with both races at today's distance
8 Cherokee Heaven  deep closer is well proven fresh off of the bench...he'll be hoping for a lively pace up front
Â
race 8Â Â Â Â slightly below average clarity
8 Church Avenue  last 3 AW races this filly has run fit fine in this spot....Flores knows the horse well
3 Miss Seamless  vanned off in last but recent work says she maybe OK health wise.....race 3 back her last sprint on the AW would most likely win this affair
6 Rev Her Up  crushed in last and earned a fig that is par like for today's higher level
7 Popular Date  claimed for 5K and rattled off 2 straight wins at 8K....rightfully steps up again with a perfect 3 for 3 record at Hollywood
2 Ultra Awesome  consistent sort drops back to a level where she is reliably competitive
