Â
race 1Â Â Â average clarity
1 Startjumpin Marnie  consistent mare has a solid chance to sit in a good chase position.......back to Rosario who is 2 for 2 on this gal
3 Farley Star  7 year old mare rightfully steps up to 50K claiming after two straight wins at the 40K tag.....morning preparation continues solid....maybe even improved somewhat
Â
race 2Â Â Â average clarity
2 Quintons Destiny  hidden ability here with this gelding who had bad trips in both career starts last Fall....full of run in both efforts......long layoff but training sharply for 1st run in maiden claiming
6 Screaming Destiny  overdo drop out of MSW for this colt who owns some early gas....strong recent bullet 5/8ths drill.....trainer could use a winner
8 Meadow Road  another dropping out of MSW racing who owns fig/efforts that fine just fine here
4 Private Bounty  yet another MSW dropper whose race 2 back would be tough to beat....been away 1/2 a year but training up to snuff to be ready for his return to the race wars.....very difficult to split my given 4 selections as they all possess solid potential to be formidable in this spot
Â
race 3Â Â Â average clarity
4 Cato Major  loves the Hollywood synthetic and it really showed with a strong move forward in her last....smartly steps up for a barn who isn't afraid to lose a horse
8 Queen Mariles  very dangerous sort when she clears early and she seemingly has the best early speed and the right connections in Mitchell and P Val to get the task accomplished
5 Frequent Fame  takes a logical significant drop in claiming price......has 4 wins in 9 starts on the Hol Cushion track....she is 1 for 12 on other surfacesÂ
3 Hot Citizen  drops to cut the losses of what so far has panned out to be a bad re-claim by Truman......2 for 4 on the AW with both of those wins coming at today's 6F distance.
Â
race 4Â Â Â average clarity
3 Nahem  trainer is red hot and this gelding made a strong forward move in his latest......seemingly gets a good position near the front end of things in a race lacking speed
7 Boxeur Des Rues  nice sprint grass tune-up in last.......last route grass race which was run last Fall is very strong
4 Cat In The Forest  1st ever at a route but bred to handle long distances...looks loose in this spot and has a rider in T C Baze that is solid with route speed types
Â
race 5Â Â Â slightly below average clarity
4 Cut N' Deal  4 solid races in a row for this maiden claimer.....proven at the somewhat speciality sprint distance of 7F
8 Our Senior Moments  on the improve with every start.....4thcareer run can be the charm if the trend continues
2 Chi Cha Cha  good maiden debut sprint followed a bad race running long....back to a sprint and a positive rider change
6 Point Mugu   really like when good trainers make maneuvers that are out of the norm.....back in 8 days for Drysdale fits being out of the norm....also....blinkers on is a successful stat for Neil
Â
race 6Â Â Â average clarity
4 Big Burly Boy  2 better then they appear on paper lifetime starts run last Summer for this 4 year old.....long layoff but training as if all systems are go for his return to the racesÂ
5 Tales Of Tigger  impressively won an eye to eye duel in her lone lifetime start.......and the work since suggest he will move forward
2 Marcy's Woods  owns solid early speed and used it in a near miss layoff run in last.....can chase and that may come in handy here as there is plenty of speed in this affair
7 Requisition  believe if this youngster presses the issue early he will fade in the stretch......take back off of it and he can be closing on many tiring early speed horses
Â
race 7Â Â Â average clarity
5 Artuga  exits a very stout MSW race where being beaten by 7 lengths was still a good effort.......training forwardly...1st at a route and 1st on the grass but beautifully bred to handle running long on the green stuff
7 Sea Song's Grace  acted up badly at the gate in MSW debut so toss that effort out.....training very aggressively for 2nd lifetime start......another with stellar route grass pedigree
9Â Roxanne OÂ Â Â wide trip in last and also needed the race......good conditioning since.....should move forward for stout connections
8 Candy's Girl  two U S of A turf sprints aren't too bad......will need to move forward a little 1st at a route
Â
race 8Â Â Â average clarity
1 Amazombie  2 consecutive powerful races for this fabulous Cal-bred who is starting to look like a top B C Sprint canidate...Smith knows this gelding well....2 for 2 at 6F.....2 for 2 at Hol
6 Supreme Summit  whenever Bejarano rides this animal he seems to fire his best which is quite good....Bejarano is up today.....seemingly has never trained any better
7 Cost Of Freedom  very hard to argue with 9 of 15 wins at the distance....and 4 of 5 at the distance at Hol....yikes
Â
race 9Â Â Â average clarity
7 Malibu Pier  good speed in a race that seemingly will favor front runners somewhat...in good form and the recent drills suggest little has changed
6 Restless Soul  improved in last 1st time under the auspicious of N Drysdale.....never trained better.....expect the same or better today
3 Turning Top  seemingly a way better grass horse at Hollywood then Santa Anita....good shot to see more today
2 Cozi Rosie  consistent late runner maybe compromised by what looks like reasonable pace up front...but it wouldn't be the 1st time that a predictable pace scenario turns out to be all wet
Â
race 10Â Â Â average clarity
1 Call For Justice  on the upswing at Tup and now shows up at Hollywood with a hot trainer in Puype......training as if the Hollywood synthetic has turned him into an improved animal even more
7 Clocker Moment  late runner is consistent and should come flying once again when others will be gasping competing at the extended sprint distance of 7F
3 Quietly Waiting  good move forward in last 1st back on the Hol surface.....should be in the hunt from the get go
10 Expensive Pens  decent debut and went off at 18 to1 so might have needed the race somewhat....good chance to show more today in 2nd lifetime start
8 Eyesablazin  small slice of the gimmick pie only
2 Temptation  small slice of the gimmick pie only
