Oaklawn Park Race 12 - Race 12 - Maiden Special Weight
BANKSY'S (2) knuckled down strongly to get within 1.3 lengths of the winner in second last start over 1710m at this track. Can go on with it. KELZ (6) has been racing in great heart with two top-three finishes on end, the latest a second over 1710m at Fairgrounds (Dirt) when he was prominent throughout. Going up a level this time but he is up to the challenge. FLEEK (3) is yet to break through in five runs but has been thereabouts. Placed two back then was 3.5 lengths away in fifth over 1710m at this track (Dirt) last time. Will drift back but wind up late. Has ability and expected to feature. BABY VINO (11) turned in a decent effort last start to finish third over 1710m at this track. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race.

Recent form sound. Returns from a 42-day let-up. At the latest run tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 11 at Fairgrounds on February 14 over 1710m, 3 len behind Awesome Gun with 54.5kg at $9.40. The run before that raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 12 at Fairgrounds on January 17 over 1710m, 1.3 len behind Reagan's Honor with 54.5kg at $87.10. Going well enough to take this out.
