Laurel Park Race 2 - Race 2 - Maiden Claiming
GIMME TWO SHOTS (2) has been in the betting at both starts but hasn't managed to break through. Most recently finished sixth over 1106m at Laurel Turf (Turf), beaten 6 lengths. Finds a nice race and looks a great chance to repay supporters. GALLO (3) is a four-start maiden who could only manage to finish fourth after being in the firing line on the corner at his latest appearance over 1106m at Laurel Turf (Turf). This offers him a great chance of breaking through. MY CAPTAIN (4) turned in a moderate effort on debut last start when sixth at Laurel Turf (Turf) over 1106m, beaten 6 lengths. One of the main contenders. EL PAPACITO (5) turned in a decent effort last start to finish third over 1106m at this track. This looks a good race for him and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways.
