Oaklawn Park Race 4 - Race 4 - Allowance Optional Claiming
HONEY'S TO BLAME (6) recorded his first win when resuming last start over 1207m at this track (Dirt), getting home by 6 lengths. Is lightly raced and has plenty of scope for improvement. Re-unites with Emmanuel Esquivel who was on board last start. Serious contender again with the confidence high. TIME FOR MUSIC (7) is a talented colt who tackled tougher grade last time, finishing 14 lengths behind Express Kid over 1609m at Listed level at Remington Park (Dirt). Can play a big role in this company. OUR MAGICAL MOON (8) raced on the pace over 1710m at this track (Dirt) last time and went on to win by 5 lengths. Will be hard to run down again. CLOCKER SPECIAL (4) looks to launch this prep the way he ended the last six-and-a-half months ago when he scored over 1308m at Ellis Park. Among the main hopes.
