Laurel Park Race 1 - Race 1 - Mdn Special Weight
BETTERPARTOFVALOUR (9) wasn't far away on debut last start over 1106m at Colonial Downs Turf (Turf), finishing third and beaten 3.5 lengths. Can get off the mark this time. AFTER ALL (5) missed the frame on debut then progressed nicely at his second outing when in the firing line on the turn, finishing 0.8 lengths from the winner in second at the end of 1106m at Colonial Downs Turf. Ideally placed and is sure to take a ton of beating. DO THE RIGHT THING (10) has been in the betting at both starts but hasn't managed to live up to market expectations. Most recently finished fifth over 1106m at Listed level at Colonial Downs Turf (Turf), beaten 5.5 lengths. Deserves another chance. DAY MADE (3) did a fair job on debut last time out, finishing 0.6 lengths from the winner in third over 1006m at Colonial Downs Inner Turf (Turf). Likely improver worth including.
