Race 2 Hollywood - MDN 25K - 6Fs

The average winning Beyer Speed Figure for this race is 69.

This race is wide open, but I have a few positive angles to go on.

Two horses coming off layoffs, #2 Pass Me the Sugar and #5 Our Storm, have good speed and strong angles going for them.

First time starters don't usually win these types of races, but trainer Dan Hendricks has been successful when his horses have been working out well. And #1 Stariz Mark has four good workouts on his tab.

Non contenders include numbers 3, 6, 7, 9 and 11.

Spring Catch, #8, showed speed off an 11-month layoff then came back to miss by 3/4 of a length from off the pace. Not many horses are that versatile. Finally, the far outside runner Serbiana, #12, got pinballed at the start last time and burst to the lead when she got running room. She ran a 64 and could win.

I won't consider Spring Catch if she's less than 5/2 and Serbiana must be at least 4/1 for a bet. I will definately bet #5 Our Storm and #2 Pass Me the Sugar if they are 2/1 or more. I will only bet a small amount on Stariz Mark if he is better than 8/1.
