Oaklawn Park Race 8 - Race 8 - Allowance
SHAPE NOTE (9) lifted strongly to score by 0.8 lengths three runs back at Gulfstream Park All Weather (Synthetic) before filling a minor placing at his last two starts. Has good early toe so he should be handy in the run. Leading contender. RISK IT (1) finished 2.5 lengths from the winner in fourth last start over 1207m at this track, an improvement on his fifth at Sam Houston Park the run before. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. DANCIN FOR GOLD (4) is a progressive four-year-old gelding who resumes from a break of eight months, his last appearance being a win over 1207m at Ellis Park (Dirt). Has won when fresh from a spell in the past. This is his optimum trip with three wins from four starts and should be involved in the finish. MIRACLE WORKER (3) did a great job to score by 1.5 lengths over this course and distance last start in a far better run. Needs to be at his best to beat this field but he is good enough to play a major role.

Second-up. First-up after two months second last in a small field at Fairgrounds on March 1 over 1207m, 8 len behind Get Her Number with 54.5kg at $15.30. Previously second-up came from midfield; 2nd of 7 at Remington Park on September 18 2024 over 1408m, 0.3 len behind Lear carrying 56kg at $3.20. Unlikely to threaten.

Form hard to fault. Most recently tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 3rd of 7 at this track on March 14 over 1207m, neck behind Ripped carrying 56kg at $4.30. The race before that held ground to the line 3rd of 7 at Gulfstream Park Turf on February 8 over 1006m, 2.5 len behind Itza Boss with 56kg at $2.50. Rates highly after a strong run last time.
