Oaklawn Park Race 11 - Oaklawn H. Stakes

SOVEREIGNTY (3) is back from a spell. Closed last prep in sparkling form with four consecutive wins, the latest over 2012m at Saratoga on August 23. Junior Alvarado who has scored on him six times retains the mount. Best form puts him right in this. JOURNALISM (5) is back from a break of five-and-a-half months. Raced below par at his only appearance last prep when fourth over 2012m in the G1 Breeders' Cup Classic at Del Mar (Dirt). Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Will give a great sight. DUKE OF DUVAL (4) is coming off a last-start fifth, beaten 6 lengths, over 1811m at this track. Keith J Asmussen, who has a strong record aboard including two wins, regains the mount. One of the main contenders. PUBLISHER (6) scored last start at Listed level at this track (Dirt) to make it three wins and two placings from six starts this campaign. Likely to push forward and race on the pace. Solid claims on best form.
