Oaklawn Park Race 3 - Race 3 - Claiming
UNLOAD (3) was well in commission last time out but could only manage to finish ninth over 1609m at this track (Dirt) in a disappointing performance. Finds the right race this time and can bounce back. RAVIN'S TOWN (5) narrowly missed last time when second over 1207m at this track (Dirt) to add to a frustrating sequence of results. In-form five-year-old gelding so he is high among the chances. CAPE TRAFALGAR (1) is a seven-year-old entire who is having his first run for the Steven Asmussen yard. Hasn't raced since finishing fifth at Churchill Downs (Dirt) 12 weeks ago. Not seen at the trials but has filled a minor placing four times from 10 runs when resuming. Among the leading chances. STRING THEORY (7) returns from a spell of three-and-a-half months and is having his first run for a new yard. Finished fifth at Churchill Downs (Dirt) over 1207m when first-up last time in work. Something for the Multiples: JUILLIARD (6)

Comes off a 41 day let-up. Most recently second last of 10 at this track on December 26 over 1609m, 26 len behind Creative Minister carrying 54.5kg at $3.60. The race before that 6th of 8 at Churchill Downs on November 14 over 1408m, 7 len behind Oscar Eclipse with 54.5kg at $9.03. Worth another chance.
