Laurel Park Race 7 - Race 7 - Allowance Optional Claiming
WHERE'S RAY (8) was heavily backed and justified the support when resuming last start over 1106m at this track (Turf), scoring by 0.1 lengths. Open to plenty of improvement and is clearly the one they have to beat. PRINCE OF JERICHO (1) was well held last time in stakes class, finishing eighth over 1106m in Listed grade at this track (Turf). Sheldon Russell who has five wins when partnering stays on. Sure to run well. NORMANDY HERO (3) finished 12th over 1308m at Parx (Dirt) at his most recent appearance on December 31. Sure to make his presence felt. GOLD TRUST (6) returns from a spell of eight months. Closed off last prep in great form including a dominant win over 1006m in stakes class at Monmouth Park Turf (Turf) at his most recent appearance. Has good early toe so he should be handy in the run. Deserves respect on best figures.

Second-up. First-up after five months came from midfield and won by a 0.1 len at this track April 12 over 1106m defeating Cairo Surprise carrying 56kg at $1.50. Previously second-up 2nd of 10 at Pimlico Turf on May 16 over 1006m, 1.0 len behind Fierce And Strong carrying 56kg at $14.20. No reason he cannot get the job done again.
