Hollywood for Friday 10 December 2010
[private]
Since the last 2 races seem rather wide open I'm recommending this 5th race pick 4 part wheel using a single of a nice animal in the 6th
5th race pick 4 2,3,4,5,8 /4 /1,2,3,4,5,7 / 3,5,6,8,9 75 bets 50 cent wagers are available
race 1 slightly above average clarity
1 Zippin E drop drop drop but loose city in this spot and awfully tough if healthy enough....my guess is she is
5 Sambista 1st and 2nd in two Hollywood starts and yet to hit the board elsewhere.....probably last start at Hollywood till Spring so barn most likely is all out to win now....solid recent drill supports this
4 Simply Put 3 or 4 lengths short figure wise but the positive rider switch might be worth those 3 or 4 lengths
race 2 slightly above average clarity
6 Warren's Dove wide with decent pace in last earned him a powerful no. on my work.....red hot rider/trainer team a major plus
5 Mesa Thunder tough call here with this massive layoff drop down....toss a coin
2 Purse Luva closer seemingly gets enough pace up front to put in a dangerous close
race 3 average clarity
7 Candy's Affair layoff runner is a very logical drop from MSW in that this filly showed little at the MSW level....closer will be running late versus speed that should be gasping late
3 Good Friday Gal laid up speed router is training well enough to be ready fresh off of the bench
1 Touch Luck Salyer won for us the other day to snatch his 1st 2010 win......that horse trained sharply and so is this 2nd out after the layoff mare
2 Jamies Fantasy showed improved effort in 2nd career race....this is 2nd after a layoff....can repeat history and move forward today
race 4 slightly below average clarity
4 Locksley Hall capable of extremely fast pace when he is running fresh like today....training sharp enough to get 5 1/2 F....small but very capable barn might wire with this guy
1 Stoneside 95% of career....albeit mostly on the turf.... fits solidly at the 40K level.....positive rider switch to Mr Gomez
2 Galleta Monstruo somewhat hidden move forward in last running on a suspect inside and in tight a little in the stretch....just claimed and it appears O'Neill has snatched this gelding on the right end of the form cycle
race 5 average clarity
2 Keen Bidder race 2 back with the blinkers off is very strong and it was at today's distance....blinkers off today
4 Seattle Ruler nice win / improvement with the addition of blinkers in last....takes a small drop....why not....there aren't that many spots for a mid priced 3 year turf claimer to run in
5 Otto Vom Voom tough trip in last hides move forward....needs to avoid flattening out at the extra 1/16 furlong today
3 Ranger Heartley bred fine to handle the grass.....does need a rebound in form/health but gets time off to regain it
race 6 slightly above average clarity
4 Chapman's Peak last 2 races are very powerful efforts both in pace and final time....a ton if he can repeat those here....like the added time off to recovery from the big runs
7 Temp nothing special about his 2nd place debut but training great since...should move forward
2 Lichtenstein fired best ever in last on the significant drop down....so smartly steps back into MSW affair
3 Recap long long hiatus from the track but beautifully bred and training like Shirreffs means business 1st out after the layoff
race 7 slightly below average clarity
4 Cardiff Agent still a Alw nw yet has placed twice in Graded stakes.....1st on the grass but bred for it ...invader has the best preparation at Tup I've seen in quite some time
2 Blue Jay Attack 2 big figs at 5F on Top Turf Today but 2 so so figs at 6F...but has run a nice fig at 6F on the AW....tough call....is a quality horse
1 Dahoud had speed in New Zealand and this spot is totally void of front runners...lookout if he breaks cleanly
5 Unico Lider totally blew turns in a route affair...that was his 1st ever in the good old U S of A....he rushed (showing speed) after a bad start as well....another who may lead in a race void of speed....keep your fingers crossed when he hits the turn
race 8 slightly below average clarity
5 Sportina owns some speed and is training like an improved animal for his new barn....fresh off of the bench and seemingly ready to roll
3 Ever Ask Me Again not the best 1ster outfit but training like ready and it doesn't take as much expertise to get a 3 and up horse ready to compete at only 5 F
6 Pic O Dream trainer has a solid history dropping out of MSW races into maiden claiming....good sign that Gomez wants the mount
8 Guilded Reward woke up in last with a much better % rider in the saddle....very stout here if that race aided in his fitness...same effort might even fit
9 Indiana Nana 1st timer is training well enough to be considered dangerous
