1:18 AQU 3rd BUSTIN THE RULES (#1, 6-1) was off the layoff last time when failing to impact a much better field going a mile; has sprinted effectively in the past and he projects to have something to run at here. – Mike Beer | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets

2:54 OP 4th MAHOMEY (#7, 10-1) returns to the Arkansas-bred ranks and he is one who has shown some talent. – Mary Rampellini | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets
3:31 WO 6th INTO TOURING (#6, 9-2) is taking a subtle drop from N1X/$32K company to this non-winners of two life/$50K 3yo contest and should make some noise if she runs her usual race. – Ron Gierkink | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets
4:08 AQU 9th CONNECT THE BROCKS (#10, 15-1) broke slowly and looked green while racing wide thereafter in a debut he might have really needed at Finger Lakes last month; half-brother to multiple stakes winners Frostie Annie and Freudie Anne ships in to shoot for a much bigger purse in his second start. – Mike Beer | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets
4:18 OP 7th FLASH OF MISCHIEF (#1, 7-2) is a DRF Best Bet (Mary Rampellini). | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets
4:30 LRC 3rd BLACK MAGICIAN (#4, 4-1) looked good whipping maidens at DMR last time out Nov. 25 in just his 2nd career start so could be the son of Graydar is getting things figured out. His debut here a month ago was solid, too. | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets
5:14 OP 9th WILL’S SECRET (#4, 10-1) is a winner at the configuration, having accounted for last year’s Martha Washington in Hot Springs. She would go on to capture the Grade 3 Honeybee for a 2-for-2 record at Oaklawn. – Mary Rampellini | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets
6:10 WO 11th ERASMO’S GIRL (#8, 8-1) was blocked in the stretch while in the midst of her rally before landing on the edges in an N1X over a giving turf course Nov. 5.

8:00 WBS (Harness) 4th EMMETTS BUDDY (#3, 7-2) raced great last week despite being victimized by a slow early pace. He kicks home quickly every start and he figures to be tough in here. – Garnet Barnsdale | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets
