Oaklawn Park Race 1 - Race 1 - Maiden Special Weight
MULA (6) finished second last time out when resuming over 1673m at Fairgrounds (Dirt), making it four career minor placings. Goes well here with two top-three finishes to his credit. A maiden win looks imminent. BON TEMPS (3) has put together back-to-back placings, the latest when 6 lengths away in second over 1710m at this track (Dirt) when he was prominent throughout. Likely improver with strong prospects. MINGO (2) was prominent until they straightened last time but weakened to finish fourth over 1710m at this track (Dirt). Looks to be in the right race to play a big role. TAPTASTIC (4) is a three-year-old colt on debut from the stable of Steven Asmussen. By Tapit from Valadorna. Watch the market closely. Something for the Multiples: DAWN AT NORMANDY (7)
