Laurel Park Race 9 - Race 9 - Claiming
SHINE ON MOON (2) finds it hard to win with two victories from 20 starts. Again tasted defeat last start when fourth over 1609m at this track, beaten 4 lengths. In the right race and there is no reason she cannot get the major prize. LIEN ON HER (3) made it two wins on the bounce last start when she scored by 1.75 lengths over 1710m at this track (Turf). Winning rider Yedsit Hazlewood retains the mount. Has her share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. MITOLE'S GIRL (6) is struggling to break through but hasn't been far away, the latest offering a second, beaten 1.3 lengths, over 1609m at Aqueduct (Dirt). Deserves to break through and she is a leading hope again. GRIPEN (4) is putting together some solid results. Finished second at this track (Turf) two starts back then scored by 3.5 lengths as favourite last time out over 1106m at this track (Turf). Likely to be in the finish again.

Racing well recently. Most recently 2nd in a small field at Aqueduct on April 30 over 1609m, 1.3 len behind Baby Sassicaia with 57kg at $3.78. The race before that came from midfield; 2nd of 10 at Aqueduct on April 4 over 1609m, 1.0 len behind That's Funny with 57kg at $7.43. Going well enough to take this out.
