Laurel Park Race 1 - Race 1 - Claiming
FRIDAYSWITHMURRAY (2) showed good early speed last start over today's journey at Monmouth Park Turf (Turf) before finishing third, beaten 0.8 lengths. Meeting a tougher field but on his best form he is one of the chief contenders. GREAT ARTIST (5) returned from a spell three weeks ago when he was beaten 5.5 lengths into seventh over 1106m at this track. Likely improver with strong prospects. OWHATANITE (4) made late ground and finished third last time over 1710m at this track (Turf) when resuming from a spell, beaten 8 lengths. In the right race and is sure to prove hard to beat. HYTECK PRINCE (9) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1710m at this track, beaten 9 lengths into fourth. No surprise to see him in contention. Something for the Multiples: HOME INVASION (6)
