Oaklawn Park Race 8 - Fifth Season S. Stakes
PONY EXPRESS (1) is back from a spell of three-and-a-half months. Raced once last campaign and finished second over 1609m at Listed level at Santa Anita (Dirt). Should be prominent from the outset. Best form puts him right in this. KOMOREBINO OMOIDE (4) ran a strong race first up then tackled stakes-class last time and finished fifth over 1710m in Listed grade at Fairgrounds (Dirt). Fitter and deserves another chance. SPEED KING (9) had a bit on his rivals last time with an impressive 5.5 lengths win over 1207m at this track (Dirt). One of the contenders again. SEIZE THE NIGHT (2) finished third when resuming two runs back at this track (Dirt) then progressed nicely last time out to score by 1.75 lengths over 1710m at this track (Dirt). Suitably placed so anticipating another big run.
