Oaklawn Park Race 13 - Arkansas Derby Stakes
RENEGADE (6) Put a gap on the rest when winning by a margin of 3 3/4L last time at Tampa Bay Downs and showing consistent performance in races. Facing formidable competition. Can go on with it. LITMUS TEST (9) Ran out of steam towards the end when 3rd last run here and up against a less competitive field. Will be positive in the run early. Solid career start. Should go close. SILENT TACTIC (2) Narrowly beaten last start here and dropping in grade. Been in the money 3 from 3 attempts this preparation and solid career start. Should be swooping on the field late. Won't be far away and represents an each way player. BLACKOUT TIME (3) Tired late when 4th last start here and has been racing in stronger company. Solid career start. Don't overlook.

Jumped at $36.00 and faded away late when 4th last start at Tampa Bay Downs and drawn well. Has early speed and positions nicely. Others much better.

Started at $4.00 and peaked on the run when 4th last start here and facing a weaker group of contenders. Honest performer putting a tidy record together. Can't leave out of your calculations.

In the money when 3rd last run at Sunland Park and good career start. Amongst the placegetters at every start this preparation but up against a more competitive field. Watch the betting.

Gave nothing else a chance when winning by 3 3/4L last time at Tampa Bay Downs and promising career start. Will be motoring home late. Racing against tougher rivals. Expect a forward showing.

Rocketed home when winning last time here but competing in a higher grade. Shows good closing speed. Demonstrating upward trajectory in recent races. This looks a tough assignment.

Ran a solid race on the speed before weakening to finish 3rd beaten by 5 1/4L last run at this track and facing less formidable opponents. Serious contender.
