Oaklawn Park Race 2

Maiden Special Weight

Prize Money: $156,919

PUBLISHER (5) was well in commission last start over 1609m at this track (Dirt) when second, beaten 7 lengths. Erik Asmussen stays aboard and although yet to win has been in the money on five occasions. Bold showing expected. MINGO (1) looks close to a win after finishing in the money at both runs, the latest when second at Fairgrounds (Dirt) over 1609m. Has good early toe so he should be handy in the run. Likely to feature. CRAZY DIAMOND (2) finished fourth two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1609m at Fairgrounds, beaten 3.5 lengths after being prominent at the turn. Meeting a deeper field this time but he has the ability to mix it with them. BON TEMPS (7) turned in a decent effort last start to finish third over 1609m at this track. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well.

Having third race start. At debut, held ground to the line 3rd of 7 at Fairgrounds on December 27 over 1207m, 4 len behind Elnajd with 56kg at $17.80. Second-up 2nd in a small field at Fairgrounds on January 11 over 1609m, 1.75 len behind Rothko carrying 56kg at $8.60. Key chance likely to give a big sight.

Comments

Form hard to fault. Comes off a 35 day let-up. Most recently 3rd in a small field at Fairgrounds on January 11 over 1609m, 3.5 len behind Rothko carrying 56kg at $5.60. The run before that settled back and ran on when 4th of 8 at Churchill Downs on November 30 over 1710m, 9 len behind White Whale with 55kg at $2.40. Worth following up.

Third-up today. Comes off a 56 day let-up. First-up eased back early on 6th of 10 at Churchill Downs on November 23 over 1207m, 14 len behind Maximum Bourbon carrying 55.5kg at $60.22. Last start 3rd of 11 at this track on December 21 over 1207m, 3.5 len behind Poppa Echo with 55.5kg at $20.60. Likely to run around at long odds and deservedly so.
