Oaklawn Park Race 3 - Race 3 - Maiden Optional Claiming
CANDY CANE CRAIN (7) just missed last time when 0.3 lengths away in second at this track (Dirt) over 1609m. Expected to go well. ACE JACK DEUCE (5) is a three-start maiden who could only manage to finish fifth at his latest appearance over 1710m at Gulfstream Park (Dirt). Finds a suitable assignment this time and is a great chance to break through. RACE READY (3) wasn't far off maiden success before a nine weeks break, finishing the prep with a minor placing at this track (Dirt). Can pick up where he left off. Nicely placed and can kick this campaign off on a bright note. C MCGRIFF (4) has not raced since his debut on November 19 over 1207m at Churchill Downs (Dirt) when he finished fourth, beaten 5 lengths. Will be better for that run and is expected to go well.
