BUD RO** is dropping into a state-bred race on the heels of a decisive 3-length victory, and the front-runner had good races in succession last season. SARAH’S SWINGTOWN was a convincing 3-length winner at 47-1 odds March 9. He is back at the same claiming price and must be respected. ALL ABOARD has finished with energy in consecutive second-place finishes and switches to the leading rider.

ANMAAT** has contested the pace in three consecutive route races. He is taking a significant drop and has proven sprinting ability. ROWDY RICHARD chased the pace while caught wide and held on well in a second-place finish. His trainer-rider team is heating up. GASUPTHEJET is dropping one class level following a defeat of less than 2 lengths. He was claimed by a high percentage stable and is likely to move forward.

AFTER HOURS** finished full of run defeating $25,000 maiden-claiming sprinters. He has been consistently good at Oaklawn and is spotted well in a non-winnersof-two claimer. CHIP VAN WINKLE lost a short lead inside the final furlong in a second-place finish at this condition, and he was claimed by the powerful stable of trainer Steve Asmussen. RIPPIN RANGER has raced close to the lead in three consecutive runner-up finishes. He is certainly talented enough but may lack some willingness.

DRINKS ON BROADWAY**** was beaten a neck while 4-lengths clear of third in only her second career start and first at two turns. She seems to have drawn into an unusually weak maiden allowance field. MISS AZUL has made a mild rally in three sprint races at the meeting, and she is bred to be more effective at route distances. CRAFTY’S WAY is an experienced two-turn runner who owns three in-the-money finishes. She is making her first start at Oaklawn following a turf outing at Fair Grounds.

GHOST CITY KING*** finished fourth in a $20,000 claiming race and was given a confidence boost when the winner (Abbaa) came back to repeat. He was claimed a sharp stable and will be in blinkers for the first time. WELL MANNERED finished third best and in front of the top selection March 2. He is dropping to the lowest price of his career and will likely go favored. COWBOY PRINCE ships from Delta on the heels of four consecutive in-the-money finishes. He represents winning connections and drew the rail.

6 Purse $24,000, 6 furlongs, fillies and mares, 3-year-olds and up, maiden claiming $15,000 WHATSYOURSIGN** set the pace and held on well to be second best in his return after a lengthy layoff. He switches to top rider Ricardo Santana and figures difficult to catch with expected second-out improvement. CARA BLYTHE showed excellent early speed before fading in a turf-sprint debut last summer at Saratoga. She shows good works for her return to the races and is near the bottom of the maiden-claiming ranks. GLITTER BRIGHT has a series of encouraging works leading up to her career debut, and trainer Randy Morse wins with first-timers.

GENTLY TAPPED** set a fast early pace and never looked back when upsetting maiden-claimers in his first race around two turns. With a lack of opposing speed he may be able to steal another. MARINE PILOT was beaten a neck in a $50,000 conditioned-claiming route. He is showing steadily improving form and has the field’s fastest last race Beyer figure. STAND GUARD has rallied in three consecutive third-place finishes, and a likely moderate pace may compromise his best late run.

RAPID DIAL*** pressed a fast pace before drawing off in a razor-sharp career debut victory, and any kind of second-out improvement should put him in the winner’s circle. CRAWFORD split rivals in mid-stretch en route to a clear maiden allowance victory. He has a slight Beyer figure edge and more experience than the top colt. DOC KANE made a mild rally to fourth in the Gazebo. This is a step down and he is a big late threat if the pace is contentious.

ME N LOGAN RAY*** has shown good early speed in a pair of third-place sprint finishes. He figures to control the pace and is bred to run this far. UNCLE GOYLE hit the wire less than a length behind the top selection in a useful sprint tune-up and is the likely winner if the top selection can’t run this far. ARCH REVENGE’s poor behavior in the gate may have compromised his best when fifth in his 2017 debut, and he likely needed the race following a seven-month vacation.

EXOTIC POSSIBILITIES
The 50-cent Pick-3 starting in the second race begins with a very competitive sprint and has a good chance to produce an upset winner. The third race brings 12 to the gate, and once again several need to be used to have a chance to stay alive. The fourth race has an ideal single in DRINKS ON BROADWAY, which is good to help cut down the price of the ticket. The 50-cent late Pick-3 starts in a wide-open seventh race. The eighth is a three-horse race, and the ninth all depends on your confidence in ME N LOGAN RAY.
