Will Rogers Downs Race 8 - Race 8 - Claiming
BASEBALL POLITICS (2) was a most impressive winner last time over 1006m at this track (Dirt), scoring by 7 lengths. Top strike rate at the journey with six wins and eight placings from 14 starts and should be hard to stop. RUNHAPPY D'ORO (6) has been in good form, scoring three back at this track (Dirt) then placing twice in a row, most recently finishing second when he was always up in the leading division over 1006m at this track (Dirt). Likely improver with strong prospects. CLAY'S BLACK OPAL (5) was an effortless winner last time over 1106m at this track (Dirt), scoring by 4.5 lengths. Has a strong record here, including three wins. Expected to run well. JOHN (3) was beaten 10 lengths into sixth in a 1106m contest at this track at his latest appearance. Well placed to turn things around.

Resumes from a spell. Finished off last preparation fourth of 7 at Remington Park October 3 over 1006m, 8 len behind Wind Of Change with 54.5kg at $46. On debut third in a small field at Prairie Meadows June 23 2024 over 1106m, 2.5 len behind Jimmy Slice with 54kg at $5.80. This looks too tough.

Racing well recently. Returns from a 34-day let-up. Most recently favourite; won by 7 len at this track March 17 over 1006m defeating Twentyone N Change with 56.5kg at $1.30. The start before that 3rd in a small field at this track on February 16 over 1006m, 0.8 len behind Runhappy D'oro carrying 56.5kg at $1.80. Great chance to win again.
