Oaklawn Park Race 8 - Race 8 - Allowance
EL PRESTIGIO (5) showed good pace and went on to score by 6 lengths last time out over 1207m at this track (Dirt). In a suitable race and can figure in the finish. TOUGH CATCH (4) is a progressive four-year-old entire who hasn't raced since finishing second over 1207m in Listed grade at Mahoning Valley (Dirt) on November 24. Has won when fresh from a spell in the past. Should camp just off the leaders. Among the leading chances. R HEISMAN (2) has been out of the winner's list for a long time, last start finishing fifth at Santa Anita (Dirt) over 1308m. Stepping up a level this time but on his best form he is good enough to take this out. PERFECT FORCE (3) was in the firing line on the corner and finished second last start over 1207m at this track (Dirt), beaten 5.5 lengths. Yet to miss the placings from four starts at this track. Nicely placed to take this out.
