Oaklawn Park Race 11 - Fantasy S. Stakes
EXPLORA (6) Ran on strongly to win last run here. Has run into the placings at every start this preparation. Flavien Prat is a key engagement. Expected to fight out the finish. STICKER SHOCK (5) Picked up late to win last run at this track and good career start. Irad Ortiz Jr is a bonus but facing formidable opponents. Has genuine claims in this race. SEARCH PARTY (1) Improved late to finish 4th last start here and will be well suited at the trip. Very competitive this preparation and drawn the rails. One of the hopes. TAKEN BY THE WIND (4) Tailed off to finish 8th last run at this venue. Can make a comeback and promising career start. Solid place bet prospects.

Displayed a good turn of foot when winning last run at this venue and going over more ground. Will be pushing for a forward position early. Will need to find a new peak.

Odds of $9.00 and looked outclassed when 8th last run at this venue. Can make a comeback and putting a tidy record together so far. Represents value in this race.

Finished hard to win last run around here and solid career start. Jockey Irad Ortiz Jr is an asset but challenged by more formidable competitors. Expect support.
