Laurel Park Race 9 - Weather Vane S. Stakes
SNEAKY GOOD (4) is a promising type who hasn't raced since finishing 7 lengths away in fourth over 1308m in the G3 Victory Ride Stakes at Saratoga (Dirt) on July 10. Has scored first-up from a spell before. Should park just off the speed. Will play a major role. SLEWPERSTITUS (6) is ready to win after another minor placing last start, finishing second over 1207m at Colonial Downs (Dirt) when she was in the firing line all the way. Goes up a rung or two but she is worth serious consideration. EMBRACE THE MOMENT (8) scored at her most recent appearance, getting home by 5 lengths over 1308m at Timonium (Dirt) as favourite. That continued the solid form this campaign, with two wins and two minor placings from five runs. Can feature again. JUST PHILTORED (2) finished in the placings when a neck third over 1408m at Colonial Downs two back to keep her unblemished top-three record on dirt intact. Less effective last time on turf at Colonial Downs Turf over 1106m when out of the placings. Has been in the top three at all four starts here, including two wins. Can sneak into the finish.

Second run back. Comes off a 42-day let-up. First-up after three months set the pace for much of the race 2nd of 7 at Ellis Park Turf on August 8 over 1106m, 1.3 len behind La Puma with 53.5kg at $3.61. Previously second-up ran on from midfield and scored a big 6 len win in stakes class at Oaklawn Park at Oaklawn Park on February 14 over 1207m defeating Have Faith carrying 53kg at $3.20. Should progress from that first-up run.

Last start raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by a 0.3 len in stakes class at Timonium at Timonium on August 29 over 1308m defeating Conquerthosewecan with 52kg at $20.90. The start before that won by 4.5 len at Delaware Park on August 15 over 1106m defeating J Candy carrying 54.5kg at $3.30. Hard to make much of a case.
