I handicapped today's Hollywood card as well, primarily to be prepared for the pk 6 if we would have had another carryover.

Since that's not the case, I'm just putting in a little pick 4 ticket. It could be another very chalky day.

5th - Going deep here, only to scrounge for any possible value that might exist in this pk 4 sequence. Hot Damon could win for fun, but under-achieving as the chalk last out and an uneventful barn change is enough to fish for prices.

9 - Hot Damon
3 -Checkmark
1 - Bernsie's Baby
6 - Absolutlypositivly SCRATCHED
5 - Raymanjjohnsonjr
2 - Soul Candy

6th Not sure what was amiss with the 6 horse Truthy this fall, but felt compelled to include her, hoping blinkers, cut back in distance, barn change and 3 promising works help turn things around. After all, these are 8K claimers. Anything is possible.

2 - Swiss Blend
11 - Misty Aly
1 - Haven's Lake
6 - Truthy

7th - Singling the 5. A couple others figure, but Jocata shouldn't even be eligible for this level. She only won her debut after a Mitchell maiden tragically went down as she was coasting to the finish line as the sure winner.

5 - Tenacious Tina


8th - Relucantly including the 7, Madame Striker, assuming she had a valid excuse in last race, her first after a year on the shelf. With no works since last race on Nov. 20, you have to be leary of her ability to win this with prior history of layoffs and declining form.


3 - Smartysideup SCRATCHED
7 - Madame Striker


Edited with Scratches: 5x4x1x1 = $20

Good luck.
