Oaklawn Park Race 8 - King Cotton S. Stakes

ROLL ON BIG JOE (5) has scored at his last two starts, most recently by 1.3 lengths over 1207m in stakes class at this track (Dirt). That continued the good form this campaign, with six wins and four minor placings from 13 outings. Can measure up again. BOURBON BASH (4) returned from a nearly two years break over 1207m last start and got the job done by 2.25 lengths in Listed grade at this track (Dirt). Yet to miss the frame in five starts over this course and distance. Will find this much easier. Best form puts him right in this. WENDELSSOHN (3) finished 5 lengths from the winner in fourth last time out at Listed level at Fairgrounds (Turf) over 1106m. Has a very good record over today's journey with four wins from seven starts. Change of rider to Tyler W Bacon who has an excellent strike rate when in the saddle, including three wins. Sure to be competitive. DURANTE (9) has been freshened up since he finished sixth over 1207m in stakes class at this track (Dirt) eight weeks ago. Top-three contender.

Second-up. Comes off a 36-day let-up. First-up after nearly two years came from midfield and won by 2.25 len at this track LR January 3 over 1207m defeating Banjo Chris carrying 53kg at $11. Previously second-up 2nd in a small field at Churchill Downs in LR on May 2 2024 over 1207m, 1.3 len behind O Besos with 53.5kg at $6.51. Great chance to make it two in a row. Improver with winning prospects.

Third-up today and placed third-up previously. Resumes off a 37 day letup. First-up 3rd of 7 at this track in LR on December 13 over 1207m, 3 len behind Roll On Big Joe with 56kg at $11.90. Second run from a spell 2nd in a small field at this track on January 2 over 1207m, 0.8 len behind Ryvit with 54kg at $2.10. Not far from the winner last time but this is a tough assignment.
