Laurel Park Race 7 - Stormy Blues S. Stakes
ONLY FOR NOW (2) wasted no time getting off the mark as favourite on debut over 1207m at Aqueduct Turf (Turf) five-and-a-half weeks ago. Promising type who can measure up again. DOC'S MIRACLE (9) is back from a spell of six months. Closed last campaign with a minor placing over 1408m in Listed grade at Laurel (Dirt). Has ability and should be right in the finish. JUST PHILTORED (6) has been kept fresh for this since a disappointing fifth last start over 1207m at Listed level at Aqueduct Turf (Turf) five weeks ago. Should park just off the speed. Capable of testing this field. GIGABIT (7) is progressing well this preparation, getting the job done by 6 lengths last time out over 1006m at Horseshoe Indianapolis (Dirt). Nicely placed to play a pivotal role. Something for the Multiples: TAP INTO GRACE (3) RIVER ESCAPE (5)
