Daily Racing Form has served as the most trusted source of news and information about the sport since 1894, and moving forward we have decided to provide a free daily playbook – something that both hardcore horseplayers and casual observers can reference to get informed of each day’s action.
12:10 TAM 1st MARY’S FRANCE (#6, 2-1) was a beaten favorite in each of her two Tampa starts but she ran well each time, including her latest; makes her third start off the layoff and may be set for her best race yet. -Kenny Peck | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets
12:40 TAM 2nd ROCK THE PARK (#4, 2-1) has won three straight and he seems well positioned to post another victory today, as he has a late kick and he there is enough speed to once again set him up to make a late run; comes off a win at this level against a field that was at least as deep as this one. -Kenny Peck | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets

1:12 TAM 3rd ALL GOOD TIMES (#3, 5-2) is going to be very tough here on the strength of her Beyers, including that last one, which she earned despite having to close ground late in a paceless race where speed held the edge; meets lesser today and she’s clearly the one to beat. -Kenny Peck | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets
4:42 OP 7th UNDERCOVER LOVER (#1, 9-2) was just edged in good time last out and the Beyer Speed Figure of 83 that he earned is the best last-race number in this spot. -Mary Rampellini | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets
4:50 GP 8th SOUPER ENERGIZER (#3, 4-1) held own with much better off the claim a couple of weeks earlier, aggressively placed on the drop. Deserves the nod in current form with this kind. -Mike Welsch | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets
5:15 OP 8th FLASHY BIZ (#8, 5-1) moves back to two turns off the pair of sprint starts to launch her season and when last seen at this configuration she was third by a head in a route at Churchill Downs. -Mary Rampellini | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets
5:22 GP 9th TUNE IN (#2, 12-1) red hot at moment with two straight wins on turf but is also capable on the main and likely to offer a little value here because of surface switch. One of many potential winners in wide open starter mile. -Mike Welsch | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets
5:47 OP 9th DRENA’S STAR (#5, 6-1) exits a quick race in which he made the pace and was edged by a neck. He’s been known to fire some big races at Oaklawn - and that was one of them. -Mary Rampellini | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets
5:54 GP 10th ZANNO (#8, 7-2) turned in even try while encountering lat trouble last time. Can make amends if getting more favorable early positioning here. -Mike Welsch | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets
6:19 OP 10th IMPRESSED (#5, 6-1) exits a strong race, with the winner a half-brother to a pair of Grade 1 winners and the runner-up a quality sprinter. Both of those horses were set to start earlier on the card, in the ninth at Oaklawn. -Mary Rampellini | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets
