SPOT PLAYS
OAKLAWN
Race 5
#8 Tonal Vision
Arrived at
Oaklawn last time against an entirely tougher field against way better horses
and wasn’t embarrassed with a fourth-place finish. Now drops in against a much
easier field for high percentage trainer Mike Maker, who gets Geroux aboard.
Looks too good versus this competition.
Race 7
#2 Cashanova
Plus play exacta box w/ #8 Coal Truth
#2 Cashanova broke last and
trailed far behind the rest of the field on the early running on a wet track in
return from a brief layoff en route to a fifth-place finish last time. Had
closed for a sharp victory two races ago at Churchill and is a past two-time
winner at Oaklawn. Goes out for last year’s champion local trainer Dirodoro,
and following a slow start to the current meet, Diodoro has been hot and is
already up to 11 wins. This horse should be No. 12.
Play in
exacta box with #8 Coal Truth, who has been really good since getting claimed
by the current trainer with a win in a key race two starts ago at Remington and
then came to Oaklawn last time with a fourth-place finish but with a fast speed
figure that indicates he will be tough to beat versus this field.
