Default Vet scratch/bullet work on same day?

Just a general handicapping question for you guys.

In the 7th race at Oaklawn today, the 5/2 favorite is #4 Tipazar. The PPs show that he worked 4f in 48 flat (1/93) on March 10th. They also say she was a "vet scratch" on March 10th.

I'm inclined to believe the horse is sharp because of the recent bullet work, but what to make of the vet scratch on the same day?

Cheers,

Otis

yea just saw that. Hard to run a race in the afternoon if you work in the morning, but I'm thinking that would be more of a stewards scratch. I guess I'm no help but she looks live to me. The Jones and Fipke homebreds look like they could be sneaky in here too.

Or maybe a missed pre-race vet appointment? Who knows? Agree that the filly should be sitting on go. 2nd off layoff. Should be on or near the lead. Comes out of a strong race. Moquett/Santana...

Thanks!

The horse I have my eye on in that race is the #10 Munnings Soul. Difficult first start in the slop against a pretty good horse in Lady Apple. Adds blinkers, definitely eligible to improve.
