Oaklawn Park Race 9 - Azeri S. Stakes
NITROGEN (2) was in a different class last time, sitting just off the speed before letting down impressively for a 2.75 lengths win in the G3 Bayakoa Stakes at this track (Dirt) over 1710m. Jose Ortiz who has scored on her seven times retains the mount. Well placed and should be in the finish. LA CARA (6) returned from a break with a tiring fifth over 1710m in the G3 Houston Ladies Classic at Sam Houston Park (Dirt) after racing on the speed in the early stages. Stiffer assignment here but a bold showing is expected. MAJESTIC OOPS (3) went forward when resuming last start and proved too strong, getting home by 3 lengths over 1207m in stakes class at this track (Dirt). Meets some better types this time but a win is not out of the question. STANDOUTSENSATION (7) went forward over 1710m in the G3 Houston Ladies Classic at Sam Houston Park (Dirt) last time but found one better. Has a solid record at this circuit. Must be respected.

Second run back. First-up after three months tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by 2.75 len at this track G3 Bayakoa Stakes February 7 over 1710m defeating Nerazurri with 54kg at $1.30. Previously second-up came from midfield and won by 2.25 len at Keeneland Turf G2 Appalachian Stakes April 8 over 1609m defeating Vixen with 53.5kg at $2.20. The one to beat based on that latest effort. Improver with winning prospects.

Back from a spell. Finished off last preparation fourth of 8 at Churchill Downs in the G3 Falls City Handicap November 27 over 1811m, 7 len behind Alpine Princess carrying 55kg at $4.04. When resuming last campaign second of 7 at Ellis Park in the LR August 10 over 1609m, a nose behind Impel carrying 55.5kg at $23.45. Win would surprise.

Racing well recently. Comes here off a 42-day let-up. At the latest run tried to lead throughout but was claimed late 2nd of 7 at Sam Houston Park in the G3 Houston Ladies Classic on January 24 over 1710m, 0.5 len behind Perfect Shot with 53.5kg at $5.30. The run before that won by 1.5 len at this track LR December 26 over 1710m defeating Queen Azteca carrying 56.5kg at $2. Doesn't need to improve much to play a big role.
