#1 FIFIE'S FANTASY (3-1) Filly from Armstrong stable comes off a nice runner-up try over the layout and looks set to win for the fourth time in six career starts. She's drawn well inside and should get an ideal trip behind the speed. “Single” in the Pick Six.

Hollywood Park:
6th race--
#2 MAYOR MARV (5-2) Baffert-trained gelding returned from a lengthy layoff to win gamely over softer group. He gets a confident two-level boost and catches a field without any early zip, so color him gone in this spot.
Yesterday's Result: TURN ON THE PUMPS ran out in 6th race.
LIVE LONGSHOT: UNUSUALLY LUCKY (9th race)
SHOW ME THE MONEY: AMERICAN LADY (7th race)

Hollywood Park:
2nd race--
#3 VAN BRIT (2-1) Cerin-trained mare has won two of her last three (eased one start back) and steps up a notch after a nice tally across town. She shows one second from three starts over this course and might be the speed in a very paceless race.
Yesterday's Result: MAJESTIC CITY ($4.00) won the 6th race.
LIVE LONGSHOT: FREE BEER (9th race)
SHOW ME THE MONEY: ORIENTATIOUS (8th race)
DAYS SURVIVED: 11
