HOLLYWOOD PARK


PRE-SCRATCHES


7th (7:07p): OC/N2X, 3+, 8.5f

Very good feature at HollyPark this afternoon with well-matched group of 7 going 8.5..

Best Value: #3 Turf and Sky (6-1): Martin Jones has done little wrong this year, and there's lots to like about his 5yo Sky Mesa gelding in this spot. Away since December, shows steady series of serious sunrise semesters including 3 straight efforts at three-quarters since 4/18. Should sit nice stalk and go trip splitting field early as trio to his outside tangle. Should provide right price around which to key.. 5th


Good luck!
