Oaklawn Park Race 8 - Race 8 - Allowance Optional Claiming
SPUN D M C (7) First up today. Came in 3rd last run at this track and showing consistent performance in races. Racing against tougher rivals. Must respect. AMERICAN MAN (6) Dictated the tempo to win by 1 1/2L last run at this venue and having second race start. Has good tactical speed and will be nicely positioned. Goes close. HAMMOND (4) Looked outclassed when 6th last run at Aqueduct. May see an upturn in form and solid career start. Testing ability against stronger contenders. Will be down in distance. Gets a chance to win. MONEYMILITIA (5) First run back from a break. Gave nothing else a chance when winning by close to 8L last start at Will Rogers Downs. Can get the job done.

At $23.00 below standard effort when 6th last start at the track but has a good draw. Erik Asmussen and Danny Pish are usually a competitive duo. Rising in class. This won't be easy.

Was $16.00 and couldn't stay in touch when 8th last start at this venue and dropping in distance. Competing at a higher class. Needs to improve.

Jumped at $8.00 and tailed off to finish 6th last run at Aqueduct. May see an upturn in form and putting a tidy record together so far. Very capable of taking this out.

Back from a break. Won with a leg in the air by just short of 8L last start at Will Rogers Downs and on an upward trajectory in recent races. Capable type.

Fresh after a break. Nice run when 3rd last run at this track and good career start. Taking on stronger competition. Nice chance at a very tempting price.

First run back from a break of 33 weeks. Controlled the speed when winning by 1 1/2L last run at Remington Park. Watch for a sign in the market.

Started $11.00 and struggled with the pace when 4th last run at this track and will be dropping in distance. Has very good finishing speed. Hard to warm to at present.
