Oaklawn Park Race 8 - Race 8 - Allowance Optional Claiming

POKERKNIGHTATVEES (7) lines up on the back of a 0.6 lengths fourth over 1207m at this track as favourite. Among the leading chances. MIRACLE WORKER (2) showed good early muster and fought on to finish third last start over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. DAPPER MOON (4) bounced back last start and got the job done by 1.75 lengths over 1207m at Fairgrounds (Dirt). Steps up a level but he is good enough to cope. PERFECT MAGIC (1) made progress last time out, finishing 3 lengths from the winner in second over 1207m at this track. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race.

Most recently made ground from midfield; 2nd of 9 at this track on March 28 over 1207m, 3 len behind Dancin For Gold with 55kg at $15.10. The start before that second last of 7 at this track on March 14 over 1207m, 5.5 len behind Ripped with 54.5kg at $9.80. Solid prospects and a good barrier doesn't hurt.
