Oaklawn Park Race 1 - Race 1 - Maiden Optional Claiming
FERAL (3) is back after a break of six months. Went close to a maiden win before the layoff, finishing third at his latest appearance over 1710m at Saratoga Inner Turf (Turf). Looks the one to beat. FATGUYINLITTLECOAT (1) is back after a break of ten weeks. At the last run before the layoff he finished 11th over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Nicely placed and expected to go well. HALO MUSIC (7) was prominent until they straightened last time but weakened to finish seventh over 1207m at Fairgrounds (Dirt). Looks to be in the right race to play a big role. SPECIAL OPS (4) made progress last time out, finishing 9 lengths from the winner in third over 1207m at Fairgrounds. Likely improver with strong prospects.

Comes here off a 56-day let-up. Most recently 4th of 9 at this track on December 27 over 1609m, 7 len behind Six String Prince carrying 54.5kg at $6.40. The run before that eased back early on 8th of 12 at Turfway Park on December 12 over 1207m, 7 len behind Great White carrying 54kg at $12.04. Hard to make a winning case.

Most recently sat on speed throughout when 3rd of 8 at Fairgrounds on January 24 over 1207m, 9 len behind Noble Affair carrying 54.5kg at $21.40. The run before that 10th of 12 at Fairgrounds on December 20 over 1710m, 18 len behind Thunder Buck carrying 54.5kg at $30.30. Should be right in the finish.

Most recently failed to make an impression; ran last of 7 at Fairgrounds on January 29 over 1207m, 13 len behind Bird The Legend carrying 55.5kg at $2.30.
