Oaklawn Park Race 1 - Race 1 - Maiden Claiming
HELENE'S POWER (1) is yet to break through after four career starts. Could only manage to finish sixth last time out over 1207m at this track (Dirt) following a minor placing at this track (Dirt) when fresh from a spell the run prior. This looks her chance to break through. SHE'S HONED IN (6) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1207m at this track, beaten 4.5 lengths. Must raise the bar but this is well within her grasp. IF IF IF (5) showed ability at her only run back on May 31, finishing second over 1006m at Churchill Downs (Dirt). Will be better for that experience so she is a leading contender. COMMAND THE STARS (3) resumes from a spell of six-and-a-half months. Could only manage to finish fourth at the latest run over 1609m at Horseshoe Indianapolis (Dirt). Rates highly on best form and a bright return wouldn't surprise.

First-starter by Tapwrit out of Starship Tribbles. Prefer to see her at the races before recommending.
