Oaklawn Park Race 5 - Race 5 - Maiden Claiming
DAWSON JAMES (7) is still a maiden after eight runs. Was in the market last time out but didn't live up to market expectations, finishing fourth over 1106m at this track (Dirt). Likely to be in the finish in this suitable assignment. BRASS NUCKS (6) is yet to break through after six career starts. Managed to fill a minor placing at this track (Dirt) two starts back when resuming before finishing fifth over 1710m at this track (Dirt) last start. Among the leading chances. SAVING HEART (10) was well in commission last start over 1207m at this track (Dirt) when fifth, beaten 7 lengths. Can atone. BUCK O FIVE (5) finished 6 lengths from the winner in fifth at his most recent appearance over 1006m at Sam Houston Park Turf (Turf) after he gave away a big start. Finds a suitable assignment this time and can improve.

Last start second last in a small field at Sam Houston Park Turf on March 28 over 1006m, 6 len behind Final War with 55.5kg at $11.90. The start before that sat on the speed throughout before fading to run last of 7 at Sam Houston Park Turf on February 6 over 1710m, 7 len behind Zorro D' Oro carrying 54kg at $7.80. Definite winning chance. Keep safe.
