Laurel Park Race 5 - Race 5 - Maiden Claiming
BIGSHOT NESS (6) made an encouraging debut last time out, finishing 1.75 lengths from the winner in fourth over 1609m at this track (Dirt). Will be very hard to beat with that run under the belt. MASTER SCHEMER (1) has been racing in great heart with two top-three finishes on end, the latest a third over 1609m at this track (Dirt). Likely improver with strong prospects. PAID VACATION (7) has been in the betting recently but has failed to live up to market expectations. Most recently finished fifth over 1609m at this track (Dirt), beaten 3.5 lengths. Right in the mix. CALL ME VICTORIOUS (3) was out of the money on debut two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1207m at this track, beaten 4 lengths into fourth. Has the ability to produce a better result.
