Oaklawn Park Race 3 - Race 3 - Claiming
MEELO TIME (3) is back from a spell of three months. Closed last prep with a fifth, beaten 24 lengths, over 1609m at this track. Likely to feature. MIDNIGHT MENACE (6) scored his maiden win here last time out over today's trip, getting the decision by 1.3 lengths. Is lightly raced and has plenty of scope for improvement. Looks well placed and he cannot be discounted. KID CHARLEMAGNE (2) finished fifth over 1609m at this track (Dirt) at his most recent appearance on December 27. One to consider. LI GRAND ZOMBI (1) is a last-start winner four weeks ago, scoring by a nose over 1609m at Fairgrounds Turf. Expected to feature.
