Oaklawn Park Race 4 - Race 4 - Claiming

BLACK POWDER (3) was well in commission last time but ran below expectations when fifth and beaten 5.5 lengths over 1609m at this track (Dirt). Has a formidable record at this journey with two wins and two placings from five starts and should be hard to stop. CONQUERING CAT (6) progressed nicely last time out to finish just 1.5 lengths from the winner in second over 1710m at this track after being in the firing line on the bend. This looks a sterner test than last time but on his best form he is one of the chief contenders. DETERMINEDLY (2) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1811m at this track, beaten 5 lengths into fifth. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. ONTHESTAGE (5) has not won for over a year, the latest running second at this track (Dirt) over 1609m. Generally goes well here with a win and three places from 12 tries and gets chance to feature.

Second-up. First-up after two months raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 4th of 10 at this track on April 10 over 1207m, 1.75 len behind Payne carrying 55.5kg at $8.40. Previously second-up ran last in a small field at Fairgrounds on February 6 over 1710m, 13 len behind Glen Airy carrying 55kg at $13.10. Unlikely to threaten.
