Oaklawn Park Race 4 - Carousel S. Stakes
BENEDETTA (1) Brave effort to win narrowly last start here and hard to fault at this distance. More confidence with jockey Flavien Prat guiding the horse and has the ideal gate. Can give this a shake. AMERICAN BAND (7) Looked good when 2nd last start around here and ideal distance as proven previously. Amongst the placegetters at every start this preparation. Goes very close. MS. BUCCHERO (6) Made every post a winner to win last run at Laurel Park and strong performer at the trip. Must respect. JUSTIQUE (3) Put a gap on the rest when winning last start at Fair Grounds and getting better in recent performances. Jose L Ortiz is an advantage. Could run into the money.
