Sunday's 9th race (4:34PM PT) from Hollywood Park is the Grade 1 Hollywood Starlet for 2yo fillies traveling a mile and a sixteenth over Cushion Track.
#6 Rose Catherine (6-1) ran
lights out on the turf in her last pair. She owns strong pace/speed ratings and looms a serious prominent throughout threat if she handles new footing. Nice Santa Anita drill on Dec 14th, and Pletcher is 28% 3rd off the shelf.
#4 Amen Hallelujah (4-1) is a stalk and pounce factor. She was 3rd when last seen in the Alcibiades, and place finisher
She Be Wild came back to nab the BC Juvenile Fillies. Better sprinting?
#3 Blind Luck (2-1) and
#7 Beautician (5-2), the 2-3 finishers in the BC Juvenile Fillies, are both off the pace threats over a surface that flatters early-pressing speed. The former sports the best late pace figs, and the latter dons the hood.
The Plays: $36 to win #6, $12 Quinella 4-6 ($12), $2 Trifecta Key 6/3-4-7 ($12) For information on remaining Hollywood Park pick 6 races, please check out
