Oaklawn Park Race 1 - Race 1 - Starter Allowance
POPPA ECHO (7) was flying with two wins in a row before being sent out favourite last time and finishing second over 1207m at this track. Cannot be put aside after one miss. TRIPLE UP (2) missed the placings two starts back then ran a better race and finished 2.25 lengths away in fourth last time out over 1207m at this track. Finds a nice race and can find winning form. MASTER MULE (1) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 8 lengths when fourth over 1609m at this track a month ago. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time. HANDSOME HERB (6) showed good early speed over 1106m at this track (Dirt) last time and went on to salute by 6 lengths. Must be respected.
