Laurel Park Race 9 - Japan Racing Association Turf Cup S. Stakes
TRULY QUALITY (3) lines up for the first time since April 18. Looking to emulate his win at Del Mar Turf to kick off the last campaign. Rates highly and makes plenty of appeal. A BOURBON FOR TOBY (5) was in the firing line all the way and fought on for second last start over 1811m in the G3 Dinner Party Stakes at this track (Turf), making it two minor placings in a row. Settles close to the speed. This doesn't look as hard so he is likely to play a big role. THUNDERING (8) is a talented gelding who was well held last time out in the tougher race won by Neat over 1710m at Monmouth Park Turf, beaten 4 lengths into sixth. Measures up nicely on best figures and has the blinkers removed. Worth keeping safe. WHAT SAY THEE (2) finished fourth last time out over 1811m at this track, beaten 6 lengths. Is very effective at this distance with three wins from eight runs. Strong top-three chance.

Racing well recently. Comes here off a 42-day let-up. Most recently ran second last in a small field at this track in the G3 Dinner Party Stakes on May 16 over 1811m, 6 len behind Fort Washington with 54.5kg at $15.20. The start before that won by 1.3 len at this track April 17 over 1710m defeating Sardis carrying 56kg at $2.80. Better than that recent plain performance suggests.

Back from a spell. Only had one start last campaign ran second last of 7 at Keeneland Turf on April 8 over 1710m, 10 len behind Dresden Row with 53.5kg at $14.98. When resuming last campaign ran last of 8 at Gulfstream Park in the G3 Fred W. Hooper Stakes on January 24 over 1609m, 34 len behind Knightsbridge carrying 54.5kg at $7.60. Happy to risk.
