Oaklawn Park Race 3 - Race 3 - Maiden Claiming
MULA (4) gave away a big start at the top of the straight last start and finished 6 lengths from the winner in fourth over 1609m at this track (Dirt). Finds a suitable assignment this time and is a great chance to break through. GLOBALIST (2) is close to breaking through after two consecutive placings, the latest coming when second over 1673m at Sam Houston Park (Dirt) after being in contention all the way. Should enjoy a good run just off the speed. Going up a level this time but he is up to the challenge. I'M WORTHY (5) was in the firing line on the bend and finished second last start over 1710m at this track (Dirt), beaten 1.3 lengths. Taking on a better line-up this time but he cannot be ruled out. CANDY CANE CRAIN (1) made it four minor placings in a row last start when third over 1710m at this track (Dirt). Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time.

Third-up today and placed third-up previously. First-up gave a sight but was run down late 2nd of 7 at Fairgrounds on January 24 over 1673m, 0.3 len behind Special Awakening carrying 56.5kg at $2.60. Second run from a spell eased back early on in a small field at this track on March 8 over 1609m, 6 len behind Taptastic carrying 56kg at $17.30. Genuine contender under these conditions.
