Oaklawn Park Race 8 - Race 8 - Allowance
IRON DOME (1) last appeared when he finished sixth over 1811m at Listed level at Aqueduct (Dirt) on October 25. Rates highly and should take some beating. SAINT GABRIEL (9) returns from a break of nine weeks. Consistent performer last prep whose most recent appearance resulted in a fourth over 1408m at Delta Downs. Has a strong fresh record including two wins. Likely to be in the finish. CRUSHED IT (5) was an impressive winner last time over 1609m at Aqueduct (Dirt), leading throughout and putting 6 lengths on his rivals. Sound record at this distance with two wins and four minor placings from eight runs and shapes as a key runner. DANCE SOME MO (7) has been in the market at his last couple of runs but failed to threaten, the latest effort a modest seventh at this track (Dirt) over 1710m. Top-three prospects.

Has won previously first-up and resumes here after a break of nine weeks. Finished off last preparation fourth of 8 at Delta Downs in the LR February 20 over 1408m, 2.75 len behind Chad's Flashy Ways with 56kg at $2.90. Previous preparation first-up favourite; won by 0.1 len Delta Downs October 30 over 1509m defeating Tdzshininluckystar with 54.5kg at $2.80. This is an ideal race to kick off. Top hope.
