Oaklawn Park Race 7 - Race 7 - Allowance Optional Claiming
PASSION RULES (8) Flew home to win last time at Fair Grounds. Going well this campaign winning 2 from as many starts. Francisco Arrieta and Brad H Cox deserve serious attention when combined. Looks a winning hope. HYMN (5) Kicked clear when winning by 4L last time here and was on debut last time. Going over more ground. Each way bet at a price. IRON SHARPENS IRON (4) Resumes after a spell. Finished amongst the placegetters when 3rd beaten by 16L last start at Churchill Downs. Shows good finishing speed. Marginal chance. HANDSOME PANTS (6) Came on strongly to finish 3rd when beaten by 11L last run at Fair Grounds. Keep it safe and include in any exotic bets.

Gave nothing else a chance last start when a 4L all the way winner at Oaklawn Park. Did enough around here in Maiden Special Weight grade to win by 4l last start. Loves this track. Hard to go past.

Sat outside the leader and wanted it more when scoring by 0.5L in a Starter Optional race at Fair Grounds. Won by a half length last time out. He is looking to complete the hat-trick of wins today. Has placed both starts this prep. Go well.
