Race 5
#5 I’m Busy
Plus
play exacta box w/#3 Honduras
#5 I’m Busy was competitive against maiden special weights
here at Oaklawn two races ago with good early speed and a good speed figure
when third in a key race where the winner exited to come back and win his next
outing. Got KO’d in the pace last time out and now takes the big maiden drop
down in versus maiden special weights for the first time. Tough to beat here
for good connections.
Play in exacta box with #3 Honduras, who wasn’t bad on
artificial tracks but really stepped up his game last time out here in his first
dirt race with a career debut effort for second, beaten only a length. Now
should improve further here today with blinkers on in the second outing off the
claim for high-percentage trainer Norman McKnight.
Race 6
#4 Honey Bunny
Lost an expensive race at Fair
Grounds last time, but won at Oaklawn two races ago and is back today looking
to extend her career mark on this track to 3-for-3 win a win against a field
she should be able to handle. Remains in good form and has a current figure
advantage, and especially even more back class to indicate she’s the strong
horse to beat.
