TODAY AT HOLLYWOOD PARK

By Richard Eng

Post Time 1:20 p.m.

Race 1 - 1 mile (turf, rail at 20 feet), Purse $44,000, Claiming $62,500, 3-year-olds

A Shore Thing - Like the addition of two things, blinkers back on and Nakatani; Mullins has been sleepwalking so far this meet.

Fast Corredor - Tepid chalk in a wide open affair; Potts chooses this guy over others, his race two back is fast enough to win.

Long Shot - Justinplace

Race 2 - 4 1/2 furlongs, Purse $46,000, Maiden special weights, Fillies, 2-year-olds

Miss Maisy - Ran off last time while a heavy race favorite and was scratched; she has some talent and received a public workout.

Early Applause - FTS from the always dangerous Koriner barn; cost $100k at Barretts, which tells me she ran and looked great.

Long Shot - Nook and Granny

Race 3 - 7 1/2 furlongs, Purse $20,000, Claiming $16,000, 3-year-olds

Plenty Jade - Should be dead fit exiting a 2-turn turf route race; should be forwardly placed and has a tidy outside post.

Gary John - He looks like he's ready to break thru after three even efforts; tactical speed to sit a nice trip throughout.

Long Shot - Domoron Domoron

Race 4 - 1 1/16th miles, Purse $21,000, Maiden claiming $40,000, Fillies and mares, 3-year-olds and up

Just Like Her - Taking the biggest class drop in racing from MSW to claiming; her dirt race two back is fast enough to upset.

Hunsley Bunsley - Another taking the big class drop from MSW class; third start off a 7-month hiatus could be her best.

Long Shot - Royal Change

Race 5 - 7 furlongs, Purse $21,000, Claiming $16,000, Fillies and mares, 4-year-olds and up

Holly's Gold - Ran a winning race for this class level last time out; lost of a horse that was dropping way down in class.

Popsicle Gal - Interesting long shot play in that she's run good races while facing tougher foes; Cohen sits and makes one run.

Long Shot - Quippi

Race 6 - 6 furlongs, Purse $25,000, Starter allowance $40,000, Fillies and mares, 3-year-olds and up

It's Another Story - Did a classic pop and stop last time out; she looks like lone speed today and may be awful tough to catch.

Dixie Dixie Dixie - Dead late closer will do her best running late under bugboy Talamo; she may not see the pace she requires.

Long Shot - Carly Effect

Race 7 - 7 1/2 furlongs, Purse $55,000, Optional claiming $80,000, 4-year-olds and up

He's The Rage - Tiny edge in the day's most difficult race; any one of these six horses can win, Mitchell moved him up a lot.

Declan's Moon - Ellis had to be enthused over the guy's effort last time out; tactical speed and post to stalk a perfect trip.

Long Shot - Soul City Slew

Race 8 - 6 1/2 furlongs, Purse $20,000, Maiden claiming $40,000, 3-year-olds and up

Blake's Passion - Ran like a short horse in last as the 4/5 odds chalk; Frankel charge will be tighter under Talamo in here.

Arroyo Trabuco - Returned from a 9-month layoff in a very soft spot and ran big; if he repeats the race, he's the one to beat.

Long Shot - One Sock Wonder

Best Bet - It's Another Story (race 6)
