Laurel Park Race 9 - Race 9 - Maiden Claiming
BIGSHOT NESS (3) was well in commission last start over 1609m at this track (Dirt) when fifth, beaten 10 lengths. Certainly deserves another chance. GONNA MAKE IT (4) is yet to break through after five career starts. Managed to find the placings at this track (Dirt) two starts back when resuming before finishing seventh over 1710m at Laurel Turf (Turf) last start. Should be in the mix. RIVER CITY RUNNER (5) is yet to break through in three runs. Finished 12th at his last appearance over 1609m at Laurel Turf (Turf) on April 19 after he got a long way back in the run. Finds the right race and is worth consideration. PERKINS GEM (2) was unplaced two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1710m at Laurel Turf, beaten 6 lengths into tenth. Better than recent efforts suggest.
