In her most recent tour, Haggin Oaks was sent off at 5-2 and made two moves to the lead past the quarter. She showed the way to the stretch with a clear advantage, turned in a :27.4 final quarter and prevailed by a neck over Marlin Hanover in that affair. In addition to facing Marlin Hanover again, her rivals will be One And Only, Amigo De Garcia and Western Tower.
