Today we peer at a Tinseltown Turf mile for our Superfecta Sunday play.
Betfair Hollywood Park Race 8 {Wilshire Handicap~G3~1 mile~TURF~3 year old Up~Fillies/Mares~Stakes}
A fine field of eight ladies will take to the grass in this annual affair. There is enough forwardly placed types to keep the pace honest, but expect a legitimate quickening around the turn for home. All of these gals appear equal in capability, but we must pick four to fasten together our 10 CENT Superfecta box ticket.
#1 Purim's Dancer (T. Baze / Proctor) appears ready to stretch out to the mile distance after hitting the second highest last out speed number in a sprint. She is 100% in the money over the turf in five starts and has put in three superb workouts. This gal should be part of the forwardly placed group. She is out Bronze Horseshoe selection.
$2 SHOW.
#8 Halo Dolly (Bejarano / Hollendorfer) will challenge with a couple of decent last out speed numbers. She is coming off a longer route last out and has put in three good workouts. This Golden Gate gal has the second highest speed number at the distance all the while notching five wins in seven races at same. She has the tactical speed to be up front or hold back and roll late.
#4 Moone's My Name [GB] (Talamo / Sadler) should contend well making her second North American start after a good career racing in Great Britain. She holds the highest last out speed number, a two race progression, and three endurance building workouts. This gal could track and close swiftly.
#5 Esentepe [IRE] (Nakatani / Hollendorfer) should be in the game with the third highest last out speed number, a two race progression, and three strong peaking workouts. She is an experienced turfer with a solid tracking/closing running style.
10 CENT Superfecta Box ($2.40)
#1 Purim's Dancer + #8 Halo Dolly + #4 Moone's My Name [GB] + #5 Esentepe [IRE].

Betfair Hollywood Park Race 8 {Wilshire Handicap~G3~1 mile~TURF~3 year old Up~fillies/mares~Stakes}
Eight beautiful gals will line up for this annual affair. All equal in ability, particularly having closely matched speed numbers. Half the field can be expected to be forwardly placed while the other have will come a running of the pace. It looks like a great race in dreamland.
We will try to fashion a winning 10 Cent Superfecta Box ticket to capture our Hollywood dream.
#8 Go Forth North (Espinoza / Avila) looks ready to move forward with the second highest (tie) last out speed number, a two race progression, and two superb, peaking workouts. She will be one coming off the pace venturing a good closing kick. This mare will be our bronze horseshoe runner.
$2 SHOW.
#3 Nereid (Smith / Shirreffs) will be coming off an extended layoff, but will challenge mightily. She shares the second highest last out speed number prior to her layoff, has won at this distance and has put in four excellent works. She should be close to the pace and ready to fire.
#7 Up In Time [GB] (Rosario / Callaghan) could do just that with her tremendous closing style. She shares the highest last out speed number, is working a three race progression before a 60 day freshening, and has put in four active workouts. She will be a significant threat to pluck the victory.
#5 Wild Mia (D. Flores / Fanning) could track and close this field down. She also has the highest last out speed number, is working a three race progression, and has put in three well-built, peaking workouts. Watch her run.

May Day at Hollywood
As we close out this weeks horse racing weekend, be sure to take some time to reflect and get some pre-race handicapping in for the 137th running of the Kentucky Derby next Saturday. There is parity in the field and it will be a grandiose event.
Today we look at a Stakes sprint at Hollywood Park.
Hollywood Park Race 8 {Time To Leave~5 furlongs~3 year old Up~fillies/mares~Stakes}
A nice field of seven speedsters go to the gate for this race. All are trimming off at least a fulong from their last outing. This promises to be a very fast race.

$2 SHOW.
#7 Shakenwithanolive (Rosario / Diodoro) will be one of the challengers on the front end with the highest last out speed number, a two race progression, and one solid workout.

$2 SHOW.
