Jeff Siegel's analysis


UNION-TRIBUNE

August 14, 2008

  FIRST RACE – SLEEPIN IN drops into a claimer for the first time and looks long gone on the front end based on her solid Hollywood Park form. Talamo rides her back for Koriner. HOLLADAY DIXIE is another first-time-in-a-claimer play and also sports the powerful route-to-sprint angle for top trainer Gaines. GREEK JOY, a solid runner up in her debut, could be a strong factor with only slight improvement. Long shot: Bella Talia.
  SECOND RACE – WICKEDNWACKYINGRID stretches out for the first time and in a field without much speed might establish the pace and keep on going. STREET MATCH has solid form at the level and should be within range throughout. FILM EDITOR usually produces a decent late kick and looks best of the others. Long shot: Opal Haze.
  THIRD RACE – WILD FLEECE failed as the favorite in a similar race last month but catches a below par field for the level and deserves a chance to make amends. SHES A REAL KEEPER ran well in her comeback when second in the same race 'Fleece exits and has as right to improve with that effort under her belt. She's strictly the one to beat. THEQUIETSTORM figures to make the running and could be dangerous with only slight improvement. Long shot: June My Love.
  FOURTH RACE – LUNAR MYSTERY drops for the money run and switches to Bejarano. She should be on or near the lead throughout. CUPID'S KITTY closed well to be a close third vs. slightly tougher foes here last month and a similar effort today puts her right in the picture. CONCETTINA removes blinkers and takes a significant class drop for Mullins. Long shot: Princess Traci.
  FIFTH RACE – SORRY BABY improved considerably when second in a similar expensive maiden claimer here last month and another forward move today should land her in the winner's circle. KALAPANA, a decent third in her debut in the same race 'Baby exits, should improve for Mullins and rates a strong look despite the rail. DAVE'S REVENGE is a first timer in a solid series of works for Hess. She may be the best of the debut runners. Long shot: Wilma Rules.
  SIXTH RACE – COUNT ORANGE drops a notch and seems capable of regaining his winning form in a lackluster heat for the level. He's always had a winning spirit and is long overdue for another score. WINNING TACTICS just missed in a photo in a similar spot last month at Hollywood Park and should be in the battle again. SIX AGAIN is racing in sharp form and his closing style should be effective over a main track kind to late runners. Long shot: Forestry's Fire.
  SEVENTH RACE – QUEEN OF THECATSLE just missed by a neck in a solid race for the level over this course last month and with good racing luck today might be able to produce the last run. WHATSITGONNATAKE just edges our top pick in the common race July 17 and rates a big look right back. SQUEEZE ME TIGHT, a winner of two of her last three but away since May, rates a big look off with her best effort. Long shot: Lochinvar's Gold.
  EIGHTH RACE – IT'S IN THE FRIDGE flashed good speed in a promising debut for good trainer Miller and should be fitter and tougher today. Bejarano should have him on the lead throughout. SEVEN LUCKY J'S, in the money in his last pair, fits with these on numbers and is the one to fear most. CACH D FISH had a troubled trip in his debut and seems sure to improve with better luck today. Long shot: Dinner at Jake's.
Best bet: It's In The Fridge (8th)
