Laurel Park Race 5 - Race 5 - Claiming

FORMAL AFFAIR (2) ran fifth at his latest appearance over 1609m at this track, clocking in 15 lengths from the winner. This looks an ideal assignment. TOP BLOOD (1) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start when he got a long way back over 1609m at this track, beaten 31 lengths into sixth. Finds a nice race and can take this out. MISSION MIKE (5) finished 5 lengths away in fifth last time out over 1408m at Tampa Bay Downs four weeks ago. Steps up in journey today. Good record at this journey with two wins and two minor placings from six starts and shapes as one to consider. CITY PANDA (3) proved too strong two runs ago but was not as effective last time out when fourth over 1609m at this track, beaten 5 lengths. Suitably placed so anticipating a better run this time.
