Oaklawn Park Race 9 - Smarty Jones S. Stakes
HOT PROPERTY (6) Made every post a winner when winning by 3 3/4L last run at Fair Grounds and was on debut last time. Gains the services of Flavien Prat. Will be around the mark at odds. OPTICAL (3) Ran on strongly to win last time at Churchill Downs. Jockey Axel Concepcion and trainer J Keith Desormeaux are a combination worth following. Up to these. CURVINO (7) Stormed home to win last run at this venue. Putting up notable efforts this preparation. Key player. COAL BATTLE (8) Ran home strongly to win last time at Remington Park and putting a tidy record together so far. Maintaining a perfect record the last 2 runs. One to watch and an each way chance.
