TODAY AT HOLLYWOOD PARK

By Richard Eng

Post Time 1 p.m.

Race 1 - 6 1/2 furlongs, Purse $11,000, Claiming $8,000, Fillies and mares, 3-year-olds and up

Remember Seattle - Won for $25K last out 3-months ago; is dropped for $8K, red flag but lays over the field.

Fool's Paradise - Even run going long in last; like the turn back in distance, will be flying fast late.

Long Shot - Hard Woman

Race 2 - 1 1/16th miles (turf), Purse $48,000, Maiden special weights, 3-year-olds and up

Bishop of Derry - Neil Drysdale has an uncoupled entry; I think one of them can win, FTS will be a big price.

Gretsky - Good second last time facing similar foes; has a chance to improve and beat these at a square price.

Long Shot - Joking Sam

Race 3 - 6 furlongs, Purse $25,000, Claiming $25,000, 3-year-olds

Cut the Check - The two favorites are both dropping in class from $50K to $25K; like the turn back in distance.

Coastal Souvenir - Logical chalk is from the Jeff Mullins barn; no early speed, he figures to be coming late.

Long Shot - Trainspotting

Race 4 - 7 furlongs, Purse $48,000, Allowance, 3-year-olds and up

Trumpet Player Jay - Colt may prove a better closing 1-turn sprinter than router; still has a good upside.

Kanan Dume - Gutsy second last time off an 18-month hiatus; key is whether he'll bounce or move forward.

Long Shot - Fiddlers Afleet

Race 5 - 5 furlongs, Purse $46,000, Maiden special weights, 2-year-olds

Roman Counsel - Just missed last time in a good debut; Mike Harrington has an uncoupled entry, must respect both.

Really Uptown - Other Harrington gets a big rider switch to Victor Espinoza for the money shot; grinding late.

Long Shot - Sterling Outlook

Race 6 - 7 furlongs, Purse $16,000, Claiming $12,500, 3-year-olds and up

Craig's Storm - Won a NW2L claimer in last, but appears to be faster than that; repeat at a square price.

Brother Man - Logical chalk beat a modest bunch in last; this is a tougher group, but he'll be higher odds.

Long Shot - Ata Benchmark

Race 7 - 1 1/16th miles (turf), Purse $50,000, Optional claiming $80,000, Fillies, 3-year-olds

Miss Silver Brook - Beaten chalk was coming off a brief 2-month hiatus; like the rider switch to Tyler Baze.

Chalula One - Almost upset the apple cart in the Melair; tries open company and turf, interesting play.

Long Shot - Minute Limit

Race 8 - 1 1/16th miles, Purse $20,000, Claiming $16,000, 3-year-olds and up

Kalookan Event - Expect a cat and mouse game between the 2 speedballs; this guy was drawing off late.

Kaffeinator - Gets brave when left alone in front, but then again who doesn't; plays catch me if you can.

Long Shot - Cousin Joe

Race 9 - 1 1/8th miles (turf), $250,000 Gamely, Fillies and mares, 3-year-olds and up

Toque de Queda - Highly rated Bobby Frankel mare had a tough go of it in last; has much untapped ability.

Black Mamba - Tepid favorite in a really difficult heat; was fanned out wide to the parking lot last time.

Long Shot - Diamond Diva

Race 10 - 6 furlongs, Purse $15,000, Maiden claiming $25,000, Fillies and mares, 3-year-olds and up

Parker's Stormgirl - Ran well in debut for Mike Pupye; if she improves one step, she'll be tough to beat.

Worth the Fight - Among the FTS, you must respect Jeff Mullins; watch the tote board action for clues.

Long Shot - Meat Sauce
