Laurel Park Race 4 - Race 4 - Mdn Claiming
BIGSHOT NESS (3) started at $8.40 last time and ran below expectations, finishing fifth and beaten 7 lengths at Delaware Park (Dirt) over 1609m. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. VEKOMA VELOCITY (1) turned in a decent effort last start to finish second over 1609m at Gulfstream Park after being in contention on the corner. Beautifully placed and is sure to play a pivotal role. MODRANACH (6) is yet to break through in four runs. Finished seventh at his last appearance over 1710m at Laurel Turf (Turf) on May 31 after he was well back on straightening. Finds the right race and is worth consideration. DIVINE SWAGGER (2) finished second last time out over 1710m at this track (Dirt), making it four career minor placings. Has a sound record here with four top-three finishes from six starts. Must be respected.
