Recent Providencia S. (G3) queen Scarlet Strike looks all set to make it two straight as the horse to beat in Saturday’s $100,000 Senorita S. (G3) at Hollywood Park, the feature of the weekend. Trained by the red-hot Jerry Hollendorfer, this daughter of Smart Strike has run huge from a pair of lifetime runs on the lawn and will be especially tough with even minor improvement in here.
Lilbourne Eliza was a big second in her U. S. debut last time for trainer James Cassidy, and we wouldn’t be surprised to see the Irish-bred improve in this affair. Runaway S. star Jubilant Girl is proven to be a fine downhill sprinter and will aim to carry that speed two turns in this one for John Sadler. The bay daughter of Henrythenavigator will likely be in front or just off the pace on this day.
Also likely for this grassy test are European imports Charlie Em, Woodlandsway and Need You Now.
