race 1 slightly above average clarity
2 Coo Cach00 sure looks like lone speed in this spot.....barn is hot so is the recent work tab.....shot to wire
3 Achak good chance to chase and get 1st crack at our top pick.....2 for 2 for Mitchell at Hol at the distance of 1 1/16
4 They Call Him good win fresh off of the bench for Ellis and it was 1st ever on the Hollywood surface....in the hunt with a semi-logical move forward 2nd out after the layoff
race 2 average clarity
4 Red Tesla on the right end of the learning curve....last fits fine and any move forward is only icing on the cake
8 Ashen need debut race 2 back and I think we will get....last race seemed a bit funky....tossing it out
2 Armenian Star stepping up quite a bit in claiming off of the layoff ......my guess is the barn has been impressed with the way he is training which has been awfully good
3 Dancing Yodeler in decent form but seemingly needs lifetime best to win this race
race 3 average clarity
3 Ninth Infantry impressive win which was 1st ever on the Hollywood turf course....trainer is good at repeating and a good recent work tab supports this
1 Warren's Jitterbug has been facing better....welcomes a softer bunch
6 Berg Bahn laid up but this filly seemingly has to always be ready fresh because a race usually knocks her out and places her on the shelf......also has been facing better
race 4 average clarity
3 Forty Dates solid at the distance....solid at Hol.....solid last race....12 of 13 on the board on main track surfaces
1 Guiled Reward bad trip in last somewhat hides a forward move in last.....drops....barn eager for their 1st win at the meeting
5 Kiss My Swiss 6 furlongs a bit far for this low level claimer....cut back of 1/2 furlong should greatly aid staying power
4 Dos Viente not quite sure if ready fresh of the bench but this filly does her best running on the Hol synthetic...trainer is 1 for 1 at the meet
race 5 average clarity
4 Hotstepper useful debut and now we get a very positive rider switch....expecting more today
3 You Little Devil very bad start in mc debut and then looked like a runner after that......trainer is better with 2nd time starters
2 Bay Rush horse fits but has health issues....toss a coin here
6 Detective Poirot owns some early foot and his last effort fits fig wise but I am a bit leery about his ability to get another furlong
race 6 slightly above average clarity
6 Lemou impressively coped with nasty paces in last 2 races....blinkers are off today to slow him down most likely.....might be a ton if he is ratable
1 Guest Star good move forward in 2nd lifetime turf sprint.......bred to handle a route....last fits OK....better and he is as good as anyone in here....very likely better
5 Bellingham all three lifetime races fit fine....but he sure has been pounded at the windows and burned up a lot a cash
4 Uzziah good horse and a good trainer....they just have to get him to overcome his tendency to hang
race 7 average clarity
7 Desert Flight exits an extremely fast heat for the given level and he was quite rank in the early stages....back very quick and drops....a ton if she is still in good enough health
5 Swawklit Sundae solid effort/fig winning a 5F affair in last....5 1/2 looks like a good fit as well
1 Dubai Macau Girl exits the same fast affair as our 2nd pick.....trainer sure has been winning his share the last 3 or 4 months
10 Lit The Bet very consistent sort and is very good at the abbreviated sprint distance of 5 1/2 F
race 8 average clarity
6 Tanda nasty hard check in last gave her little shot to show what she is made of.....can rebound today
2 Lilly Fa Pootz consistent sort has to rediscovery what winning is about....seeking a confidence booster in a non Graded Stakes
4 Talktoomuch sat too far off paceless affairs in last two races.....believe will sit closer today in what looks like another paceless race
race 9 below average clarity
7 Gifted Monarch 1st timer is bred to be a nice Cal sprinter and he sure is training like one too.......difficult race tough as seemingly everyone in the field has some shot
3 Dutch Lake good move forward in 2nd lifetime start both pace and final time wise
5 Troy Story not a 1st starter trainer at all in controll but the works suggest the mold maybe broken today
8 Huntsville pounded in debut and ran only so so....solid drill since suggest we will see better in 2nd lifetime race
4 Change Order last drill is by far the best drill for this 1ster.....seems to be peaking when it counts the most
9 Nolaruninfor Jayci very bad trip in debut last...can be a shocker with a good trip and just a tiny forward move
