Oaklawn Park Race 10 - Whitmore S. Stakes
WENDELSSOHN (1) went forward last start over 1207m in Listed grade at this track (Dirt) and held on well for third, beaten 2 lengths. It doesn't get any easier but on his best form he is one of the chief contenders. TEJANO TWIST (4) proved too strong last start and scored by 3.5 lengths over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Has a good record at this course and distance, including five wins. Will find this much tougher but a bold showing is expected. RYVIT (2) went forward last start over 1308m in stakes class at Sunland Park (Dirt) and held on well for third, beaten 2 lengths. Meets some better types this time but he has the talent to test this line-up. TOUGH CATCH (3) showed good early speed over 1207m at this track (Dirt) last time and went on to salute by 2.5 lengths. Record at this journey is impressive with two wins and two placings from five runs and is one of the better hopes.

Form hard to fault. Most recently won by 3.5 len at this track March 1 over 1207m defeating Booth with 54.5kg at $2.20. The start before that 2nd in a small field at this track in LR on February 8 over 1207m, 0.5 len behind Roll On Big Joe with 53kg at $5.90. No reason he cannot salute again.

Second-up today. Last outing 3rd in a small field at this track on March 1 over 1207m, 4 len behind Tejano Twist carrying 53kg at $15. At only start last preparation tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by a nose at this track December 20 over 1207m defeating Linzer with 55kg at $9.50. Unlikely to threaten.
