Laurel Park Race 5 - Race 5 - Claiming
MORE VINO (4) missed the frame last time when fifth at Laurel. Prior to that had been in the money on three consecutive occasions. Carlos Eduardo Lopez has been in the money at all three rides, but is yet to win. Sure to play a big role. BARNSTORMING (8) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 7 lengths when fifth in a 1811m contest at this track two-and-a-half weeks ago after being in contention on the bend. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. CREATE TROUBLE (3) showed good early dash last start and held on well to finish 2.5 lengths back in third over 1710m at Gulfstream Park All Weather (Synthetic). Perfectly placed and is sure to be there at the finish. MAGICAL WAYS (12) was in contention on the bend and finished third last time over 1609m at Penn National (Dirt) when resuming from a spell, beaten 5 lengths. Will trim down second-up. In the right race and is sure to be prominent.

He is resuming after a four months break. Finished off last preparation winning by 0.8 len Turfway Park January 14 over 1710m defeating Devil Anse carrying 54.5kg at $3.89. On debut second last in a small field at Aqueduct May 11 2025 over 1207m, 8 len behind Hot Spun with 53.5kg at $4.95. Doesn't appeal.
