Oaklawn Park Race 1 - Race 1 - Maiden Optional Claiming
FERAL (6) Was well beaten when 5th last start around here. Is capable of a resurgence and returning to more ground. Should muster plenty of early toe. Respect in this event. NO MORE KINGS (2) Nice run when finishing 2nd beaten by close to 9L last run at the track and stepping up in trip. Has a nice turn of foot. Drawn nicely. Respect. C MCGRIFF (4) Couldn't keep the pace going when 2nd last run here. Right in this. BACKSIDE (5) Managed to run into 2nd beaten by 1 1/2L last run at this venue. Brad H Cox stable are on fire recently. At least a place chance.

Jumped at 8/1 and lost ground in the run home when 4th last start at this track. Is capable of a resurgence and drawn the rails. Going up in trip. Quietly confident of a big run at decent odds.

Good run when placing 2nd beaten by close to 9L last run at this venue and racing over extra ground. Should get going late. Gets a favourable alley. Good chance and definitely has claims.

Started at 27/1 and couldn't maintain the pace when 9th last time at Fair Grounds. Might be ridden for luck. Overlook from a betting angle.

Was 2/1 and folded up in the straight when 5th last start at this track. Is capable of a resurgence and back to more ground. Will go close.

Back from a break. Jumped at 17/2 and didn't attack the line when 9th last start at this track. Expecting to settle positively. Can't have.
