Oaklawn Park Race 2 - Race 2 - Maiden Claiming
MANDATORY MISSION (5) brings the most consistent recent form, placing in two of his last three and holding a clear edge on exposed efforts at this level. ARKANSAS DAVE (7) and MY RUSSIAN (8) have both been around the placings lately and look the main threats, while IRISH GUARD (1) has shown enough with a recent third to be competitive. Mandatory Mission (5) rates on top from Arkansas Dave (7) and My Russian (8) in a race lacking standout form.
