HOL 9 (Grade 3 Hollywood Turf Express, 3up, 6T) Number 1 Delta Storm (5-1) has been part of the exacta in his last four turf sprint starts, and Mitchell is a profitable 22% with this type of layoff runner. He owns fine running style versatility and fits the overall winning turf sprint profile as an early/pressing type breaking from an inner post. Number 2 One Union (4-1) is not big on winning turf sprints, but he projects the right inner tracking trip and owns the necessary speed ratings to down these. Number 10 California Flag (7-2) is the one to catch, but there have only been 4 wire jobs in the 18 turf sprint races carded, so I prefer the versatile types in this spot. The Plays: Number 1 to win, Quinella 1/2-10, Trifecta key 1/2-10
