Oaklawn Park Race 7 - Race 7 - Maiden Claiming
LEGAL LIGHTNING (6) is a four-start maiden who finished seventh at her most recent outing over 1207m at this track (Dirt) after she got a long way back in the run. Well placed on this occasion and gets her chance to break the ice. SHE'S AN EARNER (3) finished fourth two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 1710m at this track, beaten 12 lengths after being in the firing line on the corner. Finds the right race this time and can find winning form. CLAP BACK (5) pushed forward from a wide draw last time and found the front, leading for most of the way before fading late to finish fourth over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Another bold showing is expected. SILVERTOWN (7) turned in a decent effort last start to finish third over 1207m at this track. Finds a suitable race and can find the winner's circle.
