Oaklawn Park Race 9 - Race 9 - Maiden Claiming
BRASS NUCKS (9) was thereabouts last time out when second at this track (Dirt) over 1207m, beaten half a length. That run should have him rock-hard fit now. Yet to break through this time in but hasn't been far away, with two placings to his name. Among the leading chances. RIPPLE'S ROCKET (2) was thereabouts last time out when third at this track (Dirt) over 1207m, beaten 1.1 lengths. Yet to find winning form this prep but has been thereabouts with three placings from six starts. Leading contender. DAWSON JAMES (8) remains a maiden after nine starts. Finished fifth last start over 1207m at this track (Dirt), beaten 11 lengths. Should park just off the speed. Will give backers a great sight. GO GO RO RO (7) turned in a better run last start, beaten 6 lengths into fourth over 1207m at this track. Well placed and can figure in the finish this time. Something for the Multiples: MAXXUS (3)
