Oaklawn Friday

First, Best of Luck to all the qualifying handicappers in the DRF/NTRA National handicapping Championships which begin today (Friday 1-27-2012).  It should be a great event at the Treasure Island Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada.

We have Oaklawn on our docket today with what could be a thrilling race over the Arkansas dirt.

Oaklawn Park Race 7 {1 mile~4 year old Up~fillies/mares~Optional Claiming}
This should be a very nice race as a field of eight step on to the track.  The race should set up evenly divided between the forwardly placed and those that come off of the pace.

#4 Kiss And Fly (Mello / Martin) should offer some value in what could be a pretty contentious race.  She holds the third highest speed number at the distance which includes an 80% in the money record over ten races at a mile.  She has put in three quality peaking workouts readying for this race.  She should be forwardly placed looking to speed through the stretch.
$2 SHOW.

#8 Amazing Saint (Thompson / Amoss) will also challenge with the second highest last out speed number and sharing the highest speed number at the distance.  She could motor on the front end seeking to wire the field.
