HOLLYWOOD PARK
Race 1
This is the first of eight races and there are just a total of 51 horses entered before scratches so the value will be very small. In this race all six look to have a shot at the win, we will go with No. 5 Saint Cindy who at least owns a win over the course and may improve in this her third start off the layoff, No. 6 Kahlua Mist also owns a win over the course and gets back on the main after testing the grass. No. 1 Lisa Lulu is the stablemate of No. 5 Saint Cindy and ran ok last time out ere but has just two wins from 47 starts. 1-5-6
Race 2
No. 1 Rowdy Gal won first out of the box for trainer John Sadler, she exits our HTW list and is the one to beat albeit at a short price. 1
