WELCOMETOHOLLYWOOD (4) Put a gap on the rest when winning last time at the track. Been in the money 3 from 3 attempts this preparation. Top prospects against this opposition. DESERT BREEZE (6) Strong effort to the line to win last time at the track and good career start. Expecting to settle positively. Deserves consideration. BODI ZAFA (5) Ran over the top of them when winning last start at this venue and promising career start. Carlos Montalvo and Wade Rarick link well together. Shows very good closing speed. Can give this a shake. STRIKING NOTES (8) Ran on strongly to win last run at this track. Jockey Francisco Garcia and trainer Kevin Eikleberry deserve serious attention. Has a great burst of speed late. One in a race with many chances.
