Rampellini: Oaklawn horses to watch for week of April 6

WHATEVERYBODYWANTS
Trainer: Kellyn Gorder
Last Race: April 1, 6th
Finish: 8th by 9 lengths
Beyer: 70
He made his first start in five months in an allowance sprint and hooked a wire-to-wire winner who covered six furlongs in 1:09.40. He would seem to have reason to move forward for the out and upon his return to route racing, as last year he placed in a pair of graded stakes at 1 1/8 miles.

EKATI'S GEM
Trainer: Steve Asmussen
Last Race: April 1, 8th
Finish: 4th by 7 1/4 lengths
Beyer: 60
He ran a respectable fourth in his debut, finishing behind more experienced rivals in a maiden special weight sprint that went in good time. He is a half-brother to multiple Grade 2 winner Sarah Sis.

FAB FOX
Trainer: Ron Moquett
Last Race: April 1, 4th
Finish: 4th by five lengths
Beyer: 62
She made a nice move forward in her second start of the year, which also marked her return to route racing. She’s been effective on turf in the past, and could see action on the grass after the meet wraps at Oaklawn.

J.E.'S HANDMEDOWN
Trainer: David Whited
Last Race: March 31, 8th
Finish: 2nd by five lengths
Beyer: 64
He ran his race when second to a strong favorite in the $100K Rainbow for Arkansas-breds. He’s a horse with some physical substance and he’s shown determination in his three races to date.
