OptixPLOT for Oaklawn Park's 8TH race on February 22

A sprint allowance for older horses comes up quite competitive and deeper than #4 MORNING SNOW making his return and first start here at Oaklawn Park for Bob Baffert. With just two starts, both solid races, he projects to take a bulk of the wagering support this afternoon. He has legit early speed and capable to be a threat on the front end based on his Quad I Square position on OptixPLOT. With that said he should find Contention in that front-end role and will have to earn it this afternoon coming back off the layoff.

#2 ROYAL DAHAAR could get overlooked in here off his fifth place finish in the common race back on February 1^st. He has some upside off the trip (TROUBLE, CLOSE) and should find some pace to run at this afternoon in the second start of the meet. #5 CANDY CORNELL also exiting the February 1^st Allowance finishing second that afternoon. He drew the rail that day and the rider put him on the lead, a trip he does not necessarily need based on the Square positioned in Quad II.
