Oaklawn Park Race 4 - Race 4 - Allowance Optional Claiming
SUPER CRUISE (5) is a model of consistency with top-three finishes at his last five starts, most recently finishing second over 1811m at this track. Can go on with it. FIRST DIVISION (3) found plenty to salute by half a length three runs back at this track (Dirt) before filling a minor placing at his last two starts. Should be poised just off the lead. Expecting a bold showing. U DEVIL YOU (2) returned from a spell three weeks ago when he was beaten 2.5 lengths into fourth over 1207m at this track. Nicely placed to give this a mighty shake. AUTHENTIC STRIKE (4) resumes after a break of 16 months. Trying to repeat his debut win over 1408m at Ellis Park to kick off last prep. Solid top-three hope.
