Laurel Park Race 8 - Race 8 - Allowance Optional Claiming
DUKE OF GLOUCESTER (1) was on a winning run of two races but last time out missed the frame when fourth over 1609m in Listed grade at Parx (Dirt). Should camp just off the leaders. Expected to be in the finish. HITTHEROADJAK (5) finished off last campaign with a sixth over 1673m at Delaware Park (Dirt) on May 31 and has since switched stables. Goes very well when fresh from a spell, scoring on two occasions from three starts. One of the primary contenders. CROSSLAND (6) is racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid second at Colonial Downs (Dirt) over 1710m after being in contention all the way. Will need a good ride from Matilda Burnham off the awkward draw. Beautifully placed and is sure to take plenty of stopping. SECRET ZIPPER (3) returned from a break last start with a modest fifth over 1609m at Timonium (Dirt), beaten 5.5 lengths. Loves racing here and has managed three wins from six visits. Jg Torrealba is back on and has a solid record on the four-year-old, including three wins. Fitter and should play a role in the finish.
