The Razorback Handicap, held on Sunday at Oaklawn Park, promises to be an exhilarating event for horse racing enthusiasts. This prestigious competition, featuring seasoned horses, has drawn a field of 14 contenders with weights ranging from 115 to 122 pounds. The morning line odds highlight the competitive nature of the race, with a spread from 7-2 to 20-1 among the participants. Notably, First Mission, carrying the highest weight of 122 pounds, is listed at 5-1, while Horse Racing Nation views this contender as co-favored alongside Banishing and Baddest Good Boy.

Analyzing the betting opportunities, Mike Shutty's Super Screener identifies potential value in this race. According to Shutty, none of the top three favorites are considered prime win contenders or offer the best value. Instead, Alexander Helios stands out as a leading candidate for victory. Trained by Saffie Joseph Jr., this horse is expected to perform exceptionally well following an eight-month break, supported by impressive workouts. Additionally, Skinner, under trainer Cherie DeVaux, is projected to improve significantly after his first start. Including long shots Dimatic and Cooke Creek adds further intrigue to the wagering strategy.
