Oaklawn Park Race 3 - Race 3 - Claiming
HERO'S MEDAL (3) bounced back last start and scored by 2.5 lengths after being in contention on the corner over 1710m at this track (Dirt). Has the class to figure prominently. EASTSIDE COOL (1) ran below his best last start when beaten 12 lengths into ninth from a wide draw over today's course and distance. May be worth another chance. THE THUNDERER (7) made it back-to-back wins when successful last start over 1609m at this track (Dirt), getting home by 0.8 lengths. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. GLOBAL EMPIRE (5) is overdue for a win with four placings from five starts this preparation, the latest effort a third over 1609m at this track (Dirt). Don't underestimate.

At the latest run second last of 9 at this track on March 15 over 1609m, 11 len behind The Thunderer carrying 54.5kg at $8.90. The race before that 5th of 10 at this track on February 21 over 1710m, 8 len behind Manfredi with 53.5kg at $9.90. Better than that recent lacklustre performance suggests.

Form hard to fault. Last start held ground to the line 3rd of 9 at this track on March 15 over 1609m, 2.75 len behind The Thunderer carrying 54.5kg at $11.10. Before that made ground from midfield; 2nd of 9 at this track on February 21 over 1609m, 0.5 len behind Khozy My Boy with 53kg at $5.60. Rates highly and is among the main hopes.

Chasing a hat-trick. At the latest run tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by 0.8 len at this track March 15 over 1609m defeating Tahoe Run with 54.5kg at $10.10. The race before that ran on from midfield and won by a nose at Delta Downs January 21 over 1408m defeating Iron In The Fire with 54.5kg at $1.90. Has the ability to be in the finish.

Third-up today and won third-up previously. Resuming ran last of 10 at this track on March 7 over 1207m, 17 len behind Konteekee with 53.5kg at $29.20. Second run from a spell second last of 8 at this track on March 21 over 1609m, 17 len behind Big Commerce carrying 55.5kg at $17.20. Unlikely to finish in the winner's circle.
