Hollywood for Friday night 27 May 2011
[private]
Big holiday weekend starts off with a decent looking Friday night card.
race 1 slightly above average clarity
3 Balboa Bay controlling speed in this spot can sit pretty behind the 1 horse who has a lot to prove lasting a 1 1/16th
2 Brass Plate very competitive in both route races on the main track.....can sit close up in a race that looks set up for front runners
4 Money Included consistently puts in nice closing finishes when running a route of ground....John knows this gelding well
race 2 average clarity
1 Twodollarstowin solid move forward in last earning a strong fig for the level....back in 6 days for Mitchell....probably feeling really good for him to wheel her back so quick...good shot for 4th straight win
2 Hidden Romance checked 2 on the run-up and then ran 4 wide in her last....lost about 10 lengths in run before that.....big rider switch to P Val.....can be prominent from the get go
5 Justincredible woke up in latest switching back to a synthetic surface......would have rated higher if it wasn't for her tendency to flatten out past 6 furlongs
race 3 average clarity
2 Downhill Diva very good history when fresh like today and training extremely well.....Blanc knows this filly well having ridden her the last 8 starts...should coming flying in the stretch
6 Warren's Blossom 4 wins and 1 2nd in 5 lifetime in sprints on the main track........would have been top pick if it wasn't for suspect pedigree for the turf
1 Excellent News faced tougher in last and ran OK....and the drills sure have gotten better since....rather sure we have more horse-a-roo today
race 4 average clarity
4 Dustbowl broke poorly in maiden debut and then showed she can run some.....55 to 1 says not all that wound up for debut.....seems likely to show much more today and catches a somewhat weak group on the drop to the bottom mc level...bred fine to run a route
5 Make Someone Happy has fired fresh 2 straight times with each race a bad trip....fresh again......filly has been a bit of a green racehorse but the trainer is good and has had ample time to get her to settle done.....good distance pedigree
3 Wicked Trip likely to be loose with Flores aboard who has really woken up with some nice rides the last few weeks...dangerous speed
8 Sheskey very competitive sort but a major league hanger to say the least with 4 2nd's and 7 3rd's in 17 lifetime races
race 5 slightly below average clarity
5 Boulder Creek plenty of speed in this affair can sets things up for this closer who steps up quite a bit but he just won for fun with a very wide trip and was claimed.....4 pounds off as well...trainer has been getting the job done
2 Streets Of Heaven this gelding has been very consistent for about a year now and will probably fire another strong effort....Pedroza seems to fit him well
4 Fire Break consistent on or near the pace distance horse will need to be careful to ration his speed as he sure tends to flatten out past 1 mile
race 6 slightly above average clarity
7 Romeo Royale pressed a solid pace in last and rightfully tired....lone 1 mile grass race run last Summer at Dmr (taken off the pace some) was an extremely strong effort/fig...believe they will take back a little today
8 Turn On The Pumps love the turf pedigree for this 2nd time starter.......solid aggressive work tab suggests this gelding is all set to roll for his 1st on the grass
2 Cat Talk tossed a clunker in last.....need race 2 back which is solid....back to Gomez who rode that race 2 back
9 Minister D'oro deep closer will need his best.......Rosario has won 4 of his last 7 mounts for Miller
race 7 average clarity
5 Courtside 2 for 2 2nd out after the layoff and that is what we have today....both wins were by large margins
1 Free Pourin seemingly the best early speed in the field....laid up for nearly 1/2 year but training well enough to fire fresh
4 Kingsford Drive Hollendorfer is very dangerous dropping a young horse into claiming for the 1st time....he also could use a winner
race 8 slightly above average clarity
4 A Moment In Time on the right end of the learning curve and should be prominent from the get go
9 Tribal Desert horrid trip in MSW debut...showed lots of run.....love his grass breeding....big recent drill......very formidable if he can get the trip from the 9 hole
2 Silencio Gato had his sprint AW tune-up at 30 to 1.....strong works since.....good turf pedigree.....all set 1st going long and 1st on the grass
6 Amoracchius
8 Besame Suances
3 Carlsbad Logoon
