OAKLAWN
Race 6
#6 Candy My Boy
Came back from a four-month layoff with a promising
second-place finish in a prep at Delta and now stretches back out to a route in
the second race off the claim by Diodoro. Ran well in routes and will only
improve with the added distance with the last race under his belt.
Race 7
#8 Whispering Speaker
Plus
play exacta box w/#3 Turkmenistan
#8 Whispering Speaker switched from artificial surfaces to
the dirt here at Oaklawn last time and handled the local surface for high-percentage
trainer Norman McKnight. Finished second, seven lengths clear of third with a
speed figure better than these, and a repeat of that kind of effort will get
the job done today.
Play in exacta box with #3 Turkmenistan, who only beat nw2l
claimers last time, by a length, but nevertheless was much the best, overcoming
traffic to get clear and win anyways despite the trouble. Ready for this confident
class hike, at least for the exactas.
