Turfday at Hollywood Park

We roll into December and another fine horse racing weekend.  On this Thursday (Turfday) we glance at a Turf sprint at fabulous Hollywood Park.

Hollywood Park Race 7 {6 furlongs~TURF~3 year old Up~fillies/mares~CA~Optional Claiming}
A good group of ten Turf fillies and mares will make their way to the gate in this race.  A very nice balance of speed, pressers, trackers, and closers for a splendid Turf sprint.  Any one of these gals could pull off the victory.

#2 Pleasing Sunrise (Talamo / Puype) looks to have a great romp with the highest speed number at the distance and three robust, peaking workouts.  She should be able to track the pace and unload in the stretch.
$2 SHOW.

#8 Shesoprovocative (Blanc / Hendricks) appears ready run a big race with the third highest (tie) last out speed number, a two race progression, and four superb, peaking workouts.  She could press or track and make up ground in the stretch.  We toss our bronze horseshoe to her.
$2 SHOW.

Other Wagering Interests

#10 Rebecca (Rosario / Machovsky) will challenge sharing the third highest last out speed number, holding a three race progression, and putting in three speedy, peaking workouts.  If she breaks well she could use her speed to hold on to the wire.

#1 La Sombre (M. Garcia / Koriner) might be the favorite with the highest last out speed number, a two race progression, and two solid workouts. She is 100% in the money over five races and should be near the front end pressing the pace.

#9 Miss Sea Cup (D. Flores / Gallagher) will making her third career start holding the second highest last out speed number, a two race progression, and two stout workouts.  She could be a contender.
