Hollywood for Saturday 4 June 2011
[private]
Sure wrong about my comment yesterday about this being a good card at first glance. It is a very difficult card. The pick 6 is very difficult and too rich for my blood and that's saying something as my return over the years when I personally play pick 6's is my most profitable return of any wager available. Good Luck if you do play.
Â
race 1Â Â Â slightly above average clarity
7 Make Mine Remy  stumbled badly at the start and then ran wide and still only lost by 5+ lengths.......drops a little.....same horse/energy with even an average trip can win
2 Free Range  owns some early speed in a spot lacking it....should be legged up enough to get the extended 7 1/2 one turn affair coming off a turf route
6 Zee Chris   decent route races in last 3 and now cuts back to 7 1/2 furlongs.....should have gas left late when others maybe gasping for air
5 Silver Luna  good efforts at 7F only 1/2 furlong less and owns some early foot in a race that lacks speed somewhat....good speed rider in the irons
Â
race 2Â Â Â average clarity
6 Bestdressed  how many times have we been here before.....Mitchell drops to cut losses....whole career at 7 furlongs fits in this spot and I believe this gelding is still relatively sound
4 Concerto's Thunder  greatly prefers the Hollywood main track over other surfaces....appreciates the extended sprint distance of 7F......owns good speed in an affair lacking it
5 Twoatten Tenattwo  seems like a good claim of an animal in solid form.......trainer is decent 1st after a claimÂ
2 Star Nicholas    just snatched at the claiming box by Carava who is having a very solid Hollywood meeting....decent stats at the distance and Hollywood
Â
race 3Â Â Â average clarity
5 Mensa Heat  ultra consistent sort turf or dirt has a nice reliable stalking style
1 He's A Dance Star  only grass win (2 races back) came wire to wire with Bejarano aboard.....best speed in here may get loose
6 Brutally Handsome  nice win fresh off of the bench in last.....will need a forward move today andthe way Puype is going that move in the right direction is likely
Â
race 4Â Â Â slightly below average clarity
3 Our Lady Gaga   debut 2 back checked 6 or 7 lengths early and still only got beat by 3 in a 5 furlong affair....last race has turned out to be a rather key one...and a positive rider switch
6 Denali Moon  last effort/fig (2 back) on the main track is very strong versus these....1st ever on the AW seems to be the ? mark
13 Black Sox  2 lousy trips in 2 lifetiime races hides the fact this horse can run some
7 Birthday Time  been idle for 1 1/2 years but returns in a higher % barn and is training well enough to be considered ready fresh....MSW debut race was loaded with talent so being beat by only 2 1/2 lengths is impressive
Â
race 5Â Â Â slightly below average clarity
6 Donato  should be loose here if he takes to the turf and has a shot of wiring....turf pedigree is OK...so is the team of Baffert and Rosario
5 Warren's Summergold  decent turf sprinter finally gets to run long on the grass....sure handles a route of ground on the main track
8 Mr. Katz  subtle move forward in last and best preparatory work in quite awhile....might be feeling good
7 Saravas Wild Again on the improve since claimed by Victor Garcia.....recent solid work hints the trend will continue
Â
race 6Â Â Â average clarity
9 Hey I'm Sobaa brilliant speed in debut.....a ton today if benefited from that run....P Val on substantial speed is a gooooood thing
6 Angel's Moon  work pattern that screams ready for this debuting MSW for the red hot Headley barn
3 Magic School  has shown lots of life in 2 lifetime races....back to Gomez who is back to riding awfully wellÂ
5 Bench Glory  impressive work series for this 1ster......trainer Sean McCarthy is rather reliable when he shows good works
Â
race 7Â Â Â average clarity
4 Norvsky  solid horse and solid trainer 3rd out after a layoff....1 for 1 on the Hol grass course at 1 1/16
7 Hyades  terrific figs/efforts when at his peak fitness.....training as if he feels awfully good fresh off of a long hiatus from the track Â
1 Dahoud  owns tactical speed and gets a good post to help ensure a good ground saving trip from Rosario
6 Atticus Jack  very sharp right now and sure has been impressive in 1st 2 (overdo) route turf races which were both at 1 mile.......1st ever at 1 1/16 today...
Â
race 8Â Â Â average clarity
1 Twirling Candy  best set of drills from Sadler in many a moon.....quality runner is the one to beat but he does catch some tough foes doesn't looks like a 4-5 shot.......I'd say fair value is about 8-5
6 Soul Candy  monster run/fig/effort last Fall 1st ever on the AW and it was at Hol....then sat way too far off a ridiculously slow pace....his big Fall win came off a 2 month break.....just past 2 months off this time...decent bombshell
7 Setsuko  big near miss in the Sah-G1 which I didn't see coming....training great and proven on the AW....rather sure going to fire another good effort
8 Honour The Deputy  broke poorly in 1st ever on the AW in a Grade 2 affair at Hollywood 4 weeks ago and still only got beat by less then 2 lengths....good history back in 3 or 4 weeks like today....needs pace up front and might get it
Â
race 9Â Â Â below average clarity
10 Running Isabella  drops once again....sure fits if relative health remains intact
7 She's All Yours  good efforts when takes back some and I believe that is what Gomez will do in this spot that has lots of cheap speed
4 Warren's Ruhlar  flashed a quick quarter in last that sure seems to make him the speed of the speed here....shot to wire
9 Unbridled Thoughts  last sure looks like the gimme to be full throttle for her 2nd out after the layoff and go go go
8 Suances Star  trainer was dangerous a couple of years ago with horses shipping in with their good works occurring elsewhere (Alb, Sun, Tup).....might be well meant 1sterÂ
15 Follow The Crowd....16 Napote (tie for 6th)   both horses have tough posts but seem poised to show more then they have been showingÂ
Note: no morning favorite in my selections because I believe he has gone off form....trouble if I'm wrong
