Hollywood for Friday 2 December 2011
[private]
 Decent card today. Best of luck to all!
race 1Â Â Â average clarity
2 Wild Date   last looks like the gimme to tighten up and be full throttle for today's drop into maiden claiming....debut race 3 back is very strong
7 Malibu Love  solid wake up in last .......trainer follows that race up with a series of 6 works all at 5F or 6F.....very good shot for same or better today
4 Bull Rush  drop should help......rider change should help......but better show more staying power today
6 Kvell  bombed in last but may not have appreciated the blinkers being put back on......off today and 1st time Bejarano
race 2Â Â Â slightly above average clarity
4 Kids Table   solid work tab prior to winning 1st out after the Sadler claim....that effort fits fine here.......continues to train like Sadler has the trump card for this filly.....same or better today
6 Miss Becca  3 2nd's and 1 win in 4 lifetime starts and those 4 races were all on different surfaces.....few reasons not to think she can't handle her 1st run on the Hollywood AW....solid rider trainer combo
2 Chocolate Caliente  laid up speedster is 1st time Mitchell and the work series has ready to roll written all over it
race 3Â Â Â Â slightly above average clarity
7 Bench Beauty   shuffled back and then caught wide in 1st ever on the lawn and still only got beat by 3 lengths.......excellent 3 work series since......1st long but bred just fine to handle 1 mile on the sod....trainer is stout 2nd out after the layoff......today's scenario
2 Alala  race lacks speed and this filly has some and is a good gate horse and has a good post in which to break from.......should sit close from the get go in a race seemingly set for those close up early
3 Swiss Charm  race 2 back is a solid 1 mile grass run with about 7+ lengths of trip woes and losing by only 5+......do the math if this time Bejarano gets the trip and the same energy from this filly today
4 Bud And Brandy  solid hidden move forward in last (this one lost about 8 lengths with ironically Bejarano aboard)......new jock, new distance and a new surface today.....excellent pedigree to handle 1 mile on the grass
race 4Â Â Â average clarity
5 Dance Little Angel  placed well to win by a relatively high % trainer.......1st ever at a route but I sure like the fact this filly ran well in a 2 turn sprint at Fpx
4 Dave's Revenge  runs well with 4 to 5 weeks between races and gets it.......bit of a rogue at times but has never lower then today
3 Rainbow Luck  great shot to get 1st crack at a very suspect leader in our 4th choice.....Talamo reads the Racing Form/Bris as well as anyone
7Â Zippin EÂ Â M Garcia will need to slow things down to a crawl on what sure looks like a very loose lead......this filly has little left late unless she can walk early
race 5Â Â Â average clarity
2 Golden Mexico  very consistent grass horse is 2 for 2 when placed in claiming races....very reliable trainer/rider combo....well prepared in the a.m.
3 Mr. Bossy Pants  very solid sprint grass figs.....1st long on the grass but adequate pedigree to handle it and a positive rider switch
7 Stoneside  like our top pick very consistent.....needs ample time between starts and Canani shows patience and gives it to her
1 Warren's Tony R.  late runner seemingly gets significant pace in this affair to be a factor late......positive rider change........step up 2nd out after the layoff is a good sign she is sharp
race 6Â Â Â below average clarity
5 Trucial State  tepid top pick......Harty appears to be in drop mode and draws Rosario to ride.....maybe legged up nicely exiting a turf race at GG
9 Silverado Canyon  good move forward in 2nd lifetime race bodes well for today's 2nd out after a layoff
10 Sabe  on the improve with every start and would have been top pick if this was a sprint....bit leery of this geldings ability to handle a route of ground with his pedigree.....might get loose here and that seems like a plus
8 Flying Marine  not much in 2 lifetime starts.....but logically drops and is working very aggressively hitting the track every 5 or 6 days for the last 4 weeks
race 7Â Â Â average clarity
5 Meltarib  only beaten by 4 by Unzip Me....yikes.....back where belongs 2nd out after the layoff for V Garcia who is quite good 2nd out after the layoff
7 Sunburn  ran 2nd to Secret Cove who won her next in open company.....Bejarano smartly sticks around
3 Taxi Ride  best ever was only race with short rest.......good recent 6F drill and short rest today....trainer could use a win and seems overdo to pop
1 California Heat  back to Rosario who owns the only lifetime win for this filly and it was his only ride on her
race 8Â Â Â average clarity
7 Elma Mar  eased in only lifetime start back in June.......training exceptionally well (like a MSW caliber runner) even for Headley who works his stock hard
6 Amelia Rose  Puype wins about 1/3rd of the time dropping from MSW to maiden claiming.....only race at Hollywood is quite strong
4 Kaysa Deeya  you have to like the fact Sadler still trains this cheap maiden claimer who has been missing in action for 14+ months.....both races on the AW with blinkers on are good
11 Lil Miss Macky  horrendous start (and it was in a very fats heat) in only lifetime start back in July.......training very sharply for her return to the race wars
3 Nezi O's Gold  solid move forward in 2nd lifetime start.....and given that the trainer often runs his horses into shape more can be expected this afternoon
2 Annie Lou  another laid up animal training up to snuff to be ready to fire fresh off of the bench......1st time Ascanio is a very dangerous thing
Possible Long-shot:  10 Exponential  very positive rider switch and better then they look races last winter for this Fanning charge....another coming off of an extended hiatus from the track.....works say ready
