Super Ninety Nine, who was highly impressive winning an allowance race last month for trainer Bob Baffert, will ship in from California to contest the $300,000 Southwest Stakes (gr. III) on Monday at Oaklawn Park.
The 1 1/16th miles race has drawn nine other horses, including Will Take Charge, Texas Bling, and Always in a Tiz, the 1-2-3 finishers in the $150,000 Smarty Jones Stakes here at Oaklawn last month. Impressive maiden winner Big Lute and LeComte Stakes (gr. III) third-place finisher Fear the Kitten are other prominent contenders.
Stakes winners Brown Almighty and Officer Alex will be looking to rebound from fifth- and sixth-place efforts in the Smarty Jones. Fitz Dixon Memorial Juvenile Stakes winner Heaven's Runway and recent allowance winner Channel Isle round out the field.
