Laurel Park Race 8 - Race 8 - Starter Allowance
MASAKADO (2) had been in sparkling form winning two on end before missing the frame last start over 1710m at Delaware Park (Dirt). Returns to the course where he won two back. Good record at this journey with three wins and five minor placings from 11 starts and should be hard to stop. WORK HARD (5) drifted well back and failed to finish it off last start when sixth, beaten 8 lengths, over 1710m at Delaware Park (Dirt). Worth noting Yedsit Hazlewood goes aboard. Likely improver with strong prospects. WARRIOR WAYNE (6) has progressed nicely in his last couple of runs. Finished second at Parx (Dirt) two starts back then got the job done by 4 lengths as favourite last time out over 1673m at Parx (Dirt). Mychel J Sanchez scored on him last time and retains the ride. Nicely placed to play a pivotal role. FORMAL AFFAIR (1) improved sharply last time out to score by 1.3 lengths over 1710m at this track (Dirt) three weeks ago. Solid top-three prospects.

At the latest run ran last in a small field at Delaware Park on May 30 over 1710m, 8 len behind Epic Luck with 53kg at $10.10. Before that won by 3 len at this track April 4 over 1811m defeating Devil's Cay carrying 53.5kg at $3.90. Capable of more – worth another chance.
