Narrative:

We departed runway 8R at las behind an A320 airbus. We were asked to maintain visual with the airbus on the TRALR9 during climbout which we did brief prior to departure. On climb out we encountered some wake turbulence from the airbus so I increased our rate of ascent to gain altitude above the climb vector of the airbus. I was hand flying during this phase of flight and my focus was to avoid another wake encounter and I missed the crossing restriction of 7;000 ft. Which was the top altitude at bakrr intersection on the TRALR9. My first officer was communicating with ATC and completing the checklist and also missed the altitude call-out at bakrr. Our altitude select was set at and to maintain FL190 as the 'top' altitude from tralr intersection and to expect higher per the TRALR9 in 10 minutes after departure. Our inattentiveness as a crew to properly monitor the crossing restriction at bakrr and having too much focus on wake avoidance led to our altitude deviation. We also should have requested a delayed departure to provide more separation from the departing airbus for wake avoidance reasons.
