Race 1 - 6 furlongs, Purse $29,000, Claiming $29,000, Claiming $25,000, Fillies and mares, 3-year-olds and up

Carnival Queen - Overdue for some racing luck with some close-but-no-cigar finishes; ground saving trip for Joel Rosario.

Onefunsonofagun - There is so much early speed in here; I suspect the closers will run over the top of them late.

Long Shot - Lavender Touch

Race 2 - 1 3/16th miles (turf, rail at 15 feet), Purse $42,000, Maiden special weights, 3-year-olds and up

Milyone - The one time he ran over Hollywood grass, he showed a lot of early speed; would not be shocked to see that tonight.

Juniper Pass - Dead late closer ran a sharp second in last; was flattered when Megastar won his next time out.

Long Shot - Distorted Economy

Race 3 - 7 furlongs, Purse $15,600, Maiden claiming $25,000, 3-year-olds and up

Fantando - Hard to look past the favorite in the slow field; Mike Mitchell adding blinkers on for the money shot.

Quietly Waiting - Steve Knapp wins a lot of his races on the drop in class; like the turn back in distance too.

Long Shot - Iotabgray

Race 4 - 1 mile (turf, rail at 15 feet), Purse $49,000, Optional claiming $62,500, Fillies and mares, 3-year-olds and up

Zilla - Speedball will enjoy the turf rail out 15 feet; speed seems to hold better under the night lights at Hollywood.

Welken - Any animal that runs first or second in 19-of-27 starts is a professional racehorse; will be grinding fast late.

Long Shot - Lilly Fa Pootz

Race 5 - 6 furlongs, Purse $20,000, Claiming $12,500, Fillies, 3-year-olds

Cenizo - Sliding down the claiming ladder to this career low class; proven she does not need the lead to succeed.

Frequent Fame - Dead late closer ships down from Golden Gate; she broke her maiden last year here in Inglewood.

Long Shot - Warren's Swap Fox

Long Shot - Stick to the Plan

Race 7 - 6 furlongs (turf, rail at 15 feet), Purse $43,000, Allowance, Fillies, 3-year-olds and up

Sister Dawn - Classy filly tries turf for the first time; John Sadler takes the blinkers off as he reaches for her true potential.

Sweet Hanni - Won for a $50K tag last out in a turf sprint; steps up to a much tougher allowance, may be this sharp right now.
