Oaklawn Park Race 8 - Race 8 - Maiden Special Weight
QUICK TO CHARM (6) returned last time with a solid second at this track (Dirt) over 1207m. Placed to advantage and can feature in the finish. RATIONAL THEORY (1) is back after a break of eight months. Went close to a maiden win before the layoff, finishing second at her latest appearance over 1207m at Ellis Park (Dirt). Good effort to launch last prep when in the money at this track over 1207m. Hard to beat if back in good order as anticipated. SHE'S A GEMMA (3) returns after 12 weeks in the paddock. Closed the last campaign with a sixth over 1609m at Aqueduct (Dirt). Rates highly and is a chance to break through. SUITEFOURFOURTHREE (4) lines up for the first time since September 13. Started the last campaign impressively when in the placings over 1207m at this track. Worth plenty of thought.

Third race start. First start second last in a small field at this track on April 19 over 1207m, 15 len behind Coaster with 55.5kg at $7.10. Went for a break before returning 4th in a small field at Fairgrounds on January 4 over 1207m, 1.75 len behind Miz Chris with 56kg at $10.30. Unlikely to threaten.
