Oaklawn Park Race 11 - Race 11 - Maiden Special Weight
MIGHTY NORA (9) Was amongst the placegetters when 2nd beaten by 2 1/2L last time here and putting a tidy record together. Shows very good finishing speed. Can go on with it. LEAFOLOGY (3) Initial appearance 3yo by Independence Hall for trainer Brad H Cox. Watch for a sign in the market. BET THE GRAY (1) Good run when placing 2nd last time at this venue and has a nice advantage with a good gate. Always seems to find the line well. Will give a big sight. BELLA ELLA (5) Debutant 3yo by Munnings for Donnie K Von Hemel. Watch betting.

At 7/2 tailed off to finish 4th last start at this track but was on debut last time. Likely to be well placed early. Can't have in this.

Resumes after a 43 week break. Jumped at 6/1 and faded to finish 7th last start at Churchill Downs but was a debutant last start. Will need a big effort to win this.
