Race 7
Post: 5:06 PM ET Dirt
6 Furlongs | Open | 3 Year Olds And Up | CLAIMING: $35,000 | Purse: $27,000 Daily Double / Exacta / 50 Cent Trifecta / 10 Cent Superfecta 50 Cent Pick 3 (Races 7-8-9)
Oaklawn Picks 2-8-1-4
#2 Knight Commander– lets go for a long shot. Our top pick came off a 8 month layoff and missed by only 4 against tougher wide open starter allowance runners. He drops down to 40k non winners of two, removes the blinkers and could surprise at a big price.
end race
Race 8
Post: 5:38 PM ET Dirt
1 Mile | Fillies and Mares | 4 Year Olds And Up | ALLOWANCE OPTIONAL CLAIMING: $75,000 | Purse: $62,000 Daily Double / Exacta / 50 Cent Trifecta / 10 Cent Superfecta
Oaklawn Picks 4-1-8-7
#4 Letruska– really good race on paper. Our top pick won her first 6 races in a row while racing in Mexico. She then shipped to Gulfstream and went wire to wire going a mile and a quarter. Her win streak came to an end when she tried the turf for the first time and could not handle it. She then switched back to the dirt and drew off to in last out in her first start over this track. She cuts back to a mile and could prove tough to catch at a decent price.

#4 Union Ride-had a rough trip last out and still missed by only 4 to a repeat winner against similar while coming off a 4 month layoff. Top trainer is winning at 28% with his runners in their second start back and has the one to beat.
