SPOT PLAYS
OAKLAWN
Race 4
#10 Harlan’s Vador
Ran just twice since 2017 but
the recent race indicated that things are finally resolved with this horse and
back on track. Exits a solid second-place finish at Turfway in an effort that
looks even better now that the horse who beat him has already come back to win
his next race. Has ability on dirt and should improve further in this second
race off the layoff. Dirt speed figs stuck up nicely in this spot.
Race 6
#8 Babaknowsevrything
Plus
play exacta box w/#1 Cuddle Kitten
#8 Babaknowsevrything is a winner of 2 out of her last 3
races, both times at one mile including once at Churchill and once around
two-turns at Fair Grounds. Now takes the road show here to Oaklawn and fits
very nicely in versus this kind of local competition based on the good form,
the speed figures, and the affinity for this distance.
Play in exacta box with #1 Cuddle Kitten, who takes a big
class drop from allowance races all the way down to this low-priced local
claiming race. The class drop is a red flag, but on paper this horse certainly
fits against this competition, handles the distance, and the speed figures are
better than these.
