Oaklawn Park Race 1 - Race 1 - Maiden Special Weight
PLAZA CUE (2) lines up for the first time since January 9. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings over 1609m at Churchill Downs. Has ability and should be right in the finish. QUICK TO CHARM (3) has been in the money at both runs this time in work and the maiden win looks imminent following a good third over 1207m at this track (Dirt) last time. Fitter and should be in the finish again. BELLA ELLA (4) debuted three weeks ago when she finished fifth over 1207m at this track (Dirt), beaten 4 lengths. Will take a lot from that last run and is worth following up. DELICIOUS DIVA (5) closed last campaign with back-to-back placings, the last of which was at this track three-and-a-half months ago. One of the contenders.
