Oaklawn Park Race 8 - Race 8 - Allowance Optional Claiming
STARS AND STRIPES (8) went forward when resuming last start over 1710m at Gulfstream Park (Dirt) and held on well for second, beaten 2.25 lengths. Meets some better types this time but another big run is on the cards. DIVE BOMBER (3) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start when he settled well back over 1207m at this track, beaten 9 lengths into tenth. Has his share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. GUN RUNNER CHARLIE (4) finished third two runs back at this track (Dirt) then improved last time out to score by a nose as favourite over 1609m at this track (Dirt). Ramon A Vazquez scored on him last time and retains the ride. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot score again. IMPERIAL GUN (2) didn't threaten when resuming last start over 1710m at this track (Dirt), finishing fifth, beaten 8 lengths. Has never missed the placings at the second run back. Should be much improved.

Form hard to fault. Most recently tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by a nose at this track February 16 over 1609m defeating Viking with 53.5kg at $3.40. Before that 3rd of 12 at this track on January 3 over 1710m, 3.5 len behind Super Cruise with 56kg at $9.80. No reason he cannot salute again.
