Hollywood Park - Race 7: Visit vs. Cocoa Beach in Grade I Matriarch

Cocoa Beach, who finished second to Zenyatta in the Breeders' Cup Ladies' Classic last month, returns to take on Visit, the filly that probably should have won the Breeders' Cup Filly and Mare Turf in her last start.

Visit made an eye opening move at the top of the stretch in the Filly and Mare Turf only to flatten out a few yards from the finish line. The move was easily one of the strongest I have seen from a filly on the turf in a long time.

Now in the barn of Bobby Frankel, she looks exceptionally tough in this race. I don't see how she blows it. At 5 to 2, Visit is a bit of an underlay, but what the hell? She towers over her competition save for Cocoa Beach.

I'll be putting some dollars on her today.
