Laurel Park Race 5 - Race 5 - Mdn Claiming
RED SEA (11) is a seven-start maiden who looks close to breaking the duck after finishing in the placings at his last couple of runs, most recently when 3 lengths away in second over 1609m at Colonial Downs Inner Turf. Sure to be prominent. STARMETAL (8) is poised to win after placing at his last three outings, most recently when third over 1710m at Delaware Park Turf (Turf) when he was prominent throughout. Steps up a level but he is good enough to take this out. PLENTY ON TAP (9) is close to breaking through after finishing third last start over 1710m at Colonial Downs Turf (Turf) when he was in the firing line all the way. Finds a more suitable contest and can take the next step and salute. LONG STRAW (4) ran a better race last start, finishing 7 lengths away in fifth over 1609m at Colonial Downs Inner Turf. Better than recent efforts suggest.
