Oaklawn Park Race 8 - American Beauty S. Stakes
MAJESTIC OOPS (5) returns from a layoff of three-and-a-half months. Worth noting she filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last time in work over 1006m at Century Mile. Rates highly and should take some beating. BENEDETTA (3) has been in the money at both starts this time in work, the latest a second over 1106m in Listed grade at this track (Dirt). Generally runs well third up from a spell so a big run is likely. GLORIETTE (4) finished 6 lengths away in fourth last time out over 1006m at Delta Downs after being in contention on the corner four weeks ago. Steps up in distance today. Should park just off the speed. One of the main contenders. VELVET DEVIL (6) is a talented filly who was tested in tougher class last time when seventh over 1609m in stakes class at Turfway Park (Synthetic). Hard to knock the record of Axel Concepcion when aboard; yet to miss the frame including three wins. Must be respected.

Returns from a 34-day let-up. At the latest run second last of 8 at Turfway Park in LR on January 10 over 1609m, 19 len behind Literate carrying 54.5kg at $6.61. The run before that held ground to the line 2nd of 9 at Mahoning Valley in LR on November 24 over 1207m, 4 len behind Stilettos carrying 55kg at $5.70. Cannot be ruled out despite a plain effort last time.
