Oaklawn Park Race 8 - Race 8 - Maiden Claiming
WORLD FAIR (2) has been in the money six times including last start on February 14 when third over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Has a solid record here with four top-three finishes to his name. Ideally placed to open his account. HISTORIC (6) is yet to break through after five career starts. Could only manage to finish fifth last time out over 1207m at this track (Dirt) following a minor placing at this track (Dirt) when fresh from a spell the run prior. Among the leading chances. SAVING HEART (3) hit the frame two starts ago at this track but ran below par last time when seventh and beaten 19 lengths over 1710m at this track (Dirt). Won't find this as tough so he is likely to play a big role. GUN FIRE (5) was in contention on the corner and finished second last time over 1207m at this track (Dirt), beaten 1.5 lengths. Will trim down following recent racing. Must be respected. Something for the Multiples: CAPITAL CONNECTION (7)

Second-up today. Last run came from midfield; 3rd of 10 at this track on February 19 over 1207m, 6 len behind Ky Do Declare carrying 56kg at $3.70. At only start last preparation 3rd of 10 at Churchill Downs on November 19 over 1207m, 2.5 len behind Aerate with 56kg at $3.24. Fitter but others appeal more.
