Laurel Park Race 8 - Race 8 - Starter Optional Claiming
BROTHER CONWAY (2) was an impressive winner last time over 1207m at this track (Dirt), leading throughout and putting 2.25 lengths on his rivals. H Karamanos who has scored on him six times retains the mount. Sure to run well. BYK (8) was thereabouts last time out when second over 1207m at this track (Dirt) after he was up on the pace all the way. Won't be bothered by this longer journey. Can win this without surprising. DON'T WAIT UP (6) had been racing well before he was safely held last time out when fourth over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Gets his chance to show his best. COLONEL VARGO (4) did his best work late and finished third last time over 1308m at Timonium (Dirt) when resuming from a spell, beaten 4.5 lengths. Placed to advantage and can take this out.
