Laurel Park Race 5 - Race 5 - Mdn Claiming
DANDY VANDY (5) is a 10-start maiden who finished fifth, beaten half a length, when resuming from a spell last start over 1106m at Laurel (Dirt). Fitter for that outing and is a great chance to break her maiden status. PEACE BEFORE CHAOS (8) was in a rearwards position on the turn last time out before finishing 11 lengths from the winner in eighth over 1106m at this track (Turf). This offers her a great chance of breaking through. KENTUCKY MULE (9) is a three-year-old filly who is having her first run for the Lacey Gaudet stable. Resumes after finishing seventh at Turfway Park (Synthetic) at her last run five-and-a-half months ago. Hasn't trialled publicly but is in a nice race. Among the leading chances. CRAB MENTALITY (3) is a two-start maiden who finished fourth, beaten 4 lengths, when resuming from a spell last start over 1106m at Laurel (Dirt). Will derive great benefit from that outing and deserves consideration.
