Oaklawn Park Race 8 - Hot Springs S. Stakes

DESERT GATE (1) met with solid support when resuming last start over 1609m in the G3 Robert B. Lewis Stakes at Santa Anita (Dirt) when fourth, beaten 4 lengths. Blinkers are added so with added fitness he looms as a big threat. SOLDIER N DIPLOMAT (7) is a talented colt who was well held last time in tougher grade over 1710m in the G2 Rebel Stakes at this track (Dirt). Has good early speed so should take up a forward position. Best form puts him right in this. LINCOLN'S LAW (2) wasted no time getting off the mark on debut over 1207m at Gulfstream Park (Dirt) three-and-a-half weeks ago. Sure to play a major role. TOP LEVEL (5) was prominent at the turn and finished second last start over 1710m at this track (Dirt), beaten 0.3 lengths. Should be cherry-ripe. In the right race and is a top-three hope.

Racing well recently. At the latest run 2nd of 8 at this track on February 28 over 1710m, 0.3 len behind Exosome with 53kg at $2.90. Before that favourite; won by 2.75 len at this track February 6 over 1207m defeating Banksy's carrying 55kg at $8.60. Worth plenty of thought.

Third-up today and won third-up previously. First-up crossed from a wide gate to settle just off the pace but gave ground when 2nd of 12 at this track in the G3 Southwest Stakes on February 6 over 1710m, 3 len behind Silent Tactic with 55.5kg at $8.50. Second run from a spell settled back and ran on when 5th of 9 at this track in the G2 Rebel Stakes on March 1 over 1710m, 13 len behind Class President with 55kg at $12.50. Has the ability to be in the finish.
