Oaklawn Park Race 9
Post Time 4:37 PM CST
BAYAKOA (G3)
#8 SKRATCH KAT will get another opportunity in stakes company and
appears well intended in this spot. While off the board in the two recent
stakes races, her visuals and closing run were BTL and should have some pace
here to close into. The pace should be honest with #7 HOT AND SULTRY one that
has legit early speed though has shown some distance limitations and should be
kept honest with #6 COMPARATIVE on her inside. COMPARATIVE is more established
of the two at the route distance while does not hold any speed or class edge
over HOT AND SULTRY. Franco comes into ride and while he has a mount for Cox in
R8, this spot seems the reason they are in town. #9 SHOTGUN HOTTIE is not a
need the lead though has enough tactical speed to put herself in the race and
will be required to do so with the outside draw. She was able to find an
outside stalking trip picking up the win over this course and distance last March
under Torres and should look to find similar here.
