Oaklawn Park Race 9 - Ozark S. Stakes
EWING (8) returns after winning two on end before a six-and-a-half months spell. Hard to deny. OSCAR'S HOPE (9) finished 14 lengths from the winner in eighth last time out at Listed level at this track (Dirt) over 1710m. Has found the frame in all four starts at this journey, including two wins. Will find this much easier. Top chance in this field. TIZ MARY'S COMET (2) was in contention on the turn and finished second last time over 1207m at Fairgrounds (Dirt), beaten a nose. Meets some better types this time but he has the talent to test this line-up. DIRTY RICH (1) gave a bold display over this course and distance last start, racing on the speed and boxing on well to finish third and beaten 10 lengths. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run again.
