Lone Star Park Race 8 - Race 8 - Maiden Claiming
OBAN (8) looks the one to beat after finishing 4th at Lone Star over 1609m last start, beaten 8.6L, and draws better. CUTTING CLASS (1) brings the strongest recent placing at the trip, 3rd at Oaklawn over 1609m beaten 3.8L, and maps to be handy from the rail. KOCHAN (5) can improve back up to the mile after a close 2nd at Sam Houston two back and has previous 1609m placings. ESSENTIAL STORM (3) was well beaten here last time but stays at the mile and can hold a midfield spot. The main chances are Oban (8), Cutting Class (1), and Kochan (5).

Comes off a 23-day break after finishing 9th of 10 at Lone Star Park over 1609m on 1 May, beaten 28.1L in Maiden Claiming 77 after settling back.

Consistent at the mile without placing from five tries; barrier improves from 5 to 3 and drops 1kg to 53.5kg with Mario Fuentes up for Kevin Scholl. Needs to lift but has place claims with a softer run from the gate.
