Laurel Park Race 3 - Race 3 - Mdn Special Weight
SKYCROSS (5) has put together back-to-back placings, the latest when 2.75 lengths away in second over 1811m at this track (Turf) when he was in the firing line all the way. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. PENDAR (6) is a four-start maiden who finished fourth, beaten 1.5 lengths, when resuming from a spell last start over 1609m at this track (Turf). Can come on from that run and looks a serious contender. JAMES (7) is a three-year-old colt on debut from the stable of Michael Stidham. By Justify from Timely. Bold showing expected. MARGIE'S LAST (3) could only manage to finish fifth, beaten 2 lengths, after being in the firing line on the corner at his latest appearance over 1609m at this track (Turf). No surprise if he figured in the finish.
