TODAY AT HOLLYWOOD PARK

By Richard Eng

Post Time 1 p.m.

Race 1 - 4 1/2 furlongs, Purse $50,000, Maiden special weights, Fillies, 2-year-olds

1 Silent Sue - The rail is a big advantage in these abbreviated sprints; Rafael Bejarano gets the call.

2 Killer Graces - FTS has been working fast over his home track in Inglewood; price with low-percentage connections.

Long Shot - 3 Free and Able

Race 2 - 6 furlongs (turf, rail at 20 feet), Purse $38,000, Claiming $40,000, Fillies and mares, 3-year-olds and up

2 Russian River - Exits a sharp sprint win over synthetics; returns quick, but can sit a nice stalking trip.

1 Lisa Lulu - Speed and the rail are simple tactics for this filly; she'll go as fast and as far as she can.

Long Shot - 5 So Nice

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

9 Rachels Moon - Taking the biggest class drop in racing from MSW to maiden claiming; needs the race to fall apart.

2 Preferred Behavior - Has the most experience around 2 turns; shown tactical speed to relax off of the pace.

Long Shot - 7 Clocker Moment

Race 4 - 1 1/16th miles, Purse $32,000, Claiming $25,000, 3-year-olds and up

4 Achak - His career wins a split between synthetics and turf; he's won long and short too so distance is no problem.

2 Job Boss - His synthetic resume is much stronger than his turf resume; tactical speed to sit a good trip.

Long Shot - 1 Big Wags

Race 5 - 6 furlongs (turf, rail at 20 feet), Purse $32,000, Claiming $25,000, 3-year-olds and up

2 Cahill Country - Sliding down the claiming ladder to where he should compete; like the turn back in distance too.

7 Rainbow Goose - Tepid chalk has not started in 15 months; has a ton of back class, key will be his fitness.

Long Shot - 4 Willyconker

Race 6 - 6 1/2 furlongs, Purse $50,000, Maiden special weights, Fillies and mares, 3-year-olds and up

7 Jaredella - Closed well in last when second best; she's improving with each start, maybe enough to graduate tonight.

1 Heidi Maria - Possible speed from the rail; she is turning back in distance so stamina should not be an issue.

Long Shot - 3 Pink Lemonade

Race 7 - 6 furlongs (turf, rail at 20 feet), Purse $55,000, Allowance, Fillies and mares, 3-year-olds and up

2 Saanneen - She is developing into a grass sprint specialist; the inside post is a big edge here at Hollywood.

6 Sugarinthemorning - Sharp debut turf win last time down the hill at Santa Anita; we'll see if turf is her calling here.

Long Shot - 4 Camille C

Race 8 - 5 furlongs, $70,000 Time to Leave, Fillies and mares, 3-year-olds and up

4 Saint Isabelle - Was superb in victory off a 5-month hiatus; the key is if she can repeat or will she bounce to the moon.

3 Separate Forest - She has carved out some nice turf wins; her dirt resume is pretty good, enough for favoritism.

Long Shot - 1 Irish Gypsy

Race 9 - 6 furlongs, Purse $17,000, Claiming $8,000, Fillies and mares, 3-year-olds and up

9 Our Bellini Bikini - Been first or second in 5-of-6 dirt starts; that model of consistency may be enough tonight.
