Laurel Park Race 5 - Race 5 - Allowance
DRILLING FOR GOLD (1) rates on top after a close 5th at Laurel Park over 1710m last start, beaten 1.9L, and a narrow Fair Grounds 1710m 2nd prior; he draws the rail and owns a 2-from-5 track record. STRAIGHT TO WATER (11) is a key chance with a Laurel 1710m win on 22 Mar and subsequent 1609m placings, most recently 3rd of 5. DAIRAGO (9) brings winning form with back-to-back successes at 1710m/1609m, including a 3L Laurel win on 11 Apr. NEON BORDEAUX (4) has recent Laurel/Aqueduct placings and can figure. GO GREY (5) steps up after a 4L Laurel 1609m maiden-claiming win and draws well.
