Some pick six possibilities at Hollywood Park

| | Comments (0) |

The lure of a $126,284 pick six carryover at Hollywood Park today led me to the Racing Form and I came up with some horses you might want to consider throwing in:

I love Thelma Rose in the second race, a horse that can maybe help you win more for your pick six ticket. Thelma Rose's Beyer figures are gradually going up and the 2-year-old Rio Verde filly gets the services of Rafael Bejarano. I think she's going to be very tough in this $40,000 maiden claimer.

In the pick six, here are some horses to consider:

4th -- Ashton Girl and Schill are tough to separate. I like them both. Ashton Girl has the inticing tandem of Paddy Gallagher and Alex Solis, and Schill was claimed in her last by Jerry Hollendorfer, who wins 29 percent of the time off first claim. A dark horse? Saucey Officer has the speed to go gate to wire in this allowance if she takes to the turf and can fire first out after an 11-month layoff.

5th -- Ann's Plan likes Hollywood Park, finishing first and second in two starts on Cushion Track. She drops from $16,000 to $8,000 today and figures to be live. Persian Honey takes a drastic drop from $25,000 to $8,000 and is the speed of the speed here. She figures to be on top early and might be difficult to catch.

6th -- Century Park has gone postward as the favorite in three of four lifetime starts. The Bob Baffert-trained filly, who retains the services of Bejarano, deserves one more shot. Vindictive Cat, part of the Tim Yakteen-trained entry, is live here too.

7th -- Moves Liike a Cat is part of the John Sadler barn, which has been on a year-long roll in Southern California. After flashing early speed in a Cal Cup sprint and fading to seventh, he moves back in with claimers today and is a real threat to go gate to wire. Make Mine Vodka will be one of the threats from behind and should be considered.

9th -- Fili's Regent has had nine chances, but his last shows he's on the verge of finding the winner's circle for trainer Mel Stute. Salah Pick Six is aptly named for a day like today and figures to improve with a race under his belt. He gets a five-pound weight break with a switch to apprentice jockey Pedro Arambula.

Good luck today!
