PRE-SCRATCHES

3rd: MSW, F&M-3+, 8.5f-T (P6, P3, DD)

$103k C/O starts here..

Very tricky start to the sequence which should amass a very large pool. Beyond the obvious Untouchable U (7-2) and Gift of a Star (6-1), Tap Dancing (12-1) & Rue de Cry (15-1) look poised for improvement..

Most Likely: #6 Untouchable U 7-2
Best Value: #9 Rue de Cry 15-1
Next Best: #3 Tap Dancing 12-1
Exotics Use: #2 Gift of a Star 6-1

7th: 33rd Hollywood Turf Cup (G2), 3+, 12f-T (DD)

Outstanding edition of this with major players The Pizza Man (5-2) and Up With the Birds (4-1) your garish foundation with Ganesh (8-1), Texas Ryano (10-1) and out-posted Big John B (3-1) comprising the middle-markers. Seeming 20-1 outsiders Power Foot (0-for-DMR lawn), Wanstead Gardens (4/2-1-0 this course) and Class Leader have puncher’s chances..

Most Likely: #6 The Pizza Man 5-1
Best Value: #9 Texas Ryano 10-1

Exotics Use: #13 Wanstead Gardens 20-1

8th: Cal-MCLM/$50k, 2yo, 6f (Super Hi-5)

Nondescript bunch. Note that Kirkwood homebred (and well bred) Discreetlyhumorme fell in Cal-MSW debut at 5-2. Returns, drops and has worked A-OK for second try. Pork chop at 12-1?

Best Value: #7 DISCREETLYHUMORME 12-1
Next Best: #3 Little Mustard 5-1
Exotics Use: #5 And Then Some 7-2
Super Add: #8 H R Express 9-2
Hi-5 Play: #13 Redneck Crazy 5-1
