Laurel Park Race 5 - Race 5 - Mdn Special Weight
MESHACH (5) progressed nicely last time out to finish just 1.75 lengths from the winner in third over 1609m at Colonial Downs Inner Turf after being in the firing line on the bend. Enjoys a drop in grade so he is perfectly placed to score. COURT NIGHT (6) has been in the betting at both starts but hasn't managed to live up to market expectations. Most recently finished sixth over 1609m at Colonial Downs Inner Turf (Turf), beaten 4 lengths. Capable enough so worth another chance. IMPERIAL CHARTER (8) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1609m at Colonial Downs, beaten 7 lengths into fourth after being prominent at the bend. Ideally placed and is sure to be there at the finish. BELOV (7) finished midfield on debut last time out, safely held 12 lengths from the winner over 1207m at Colonial Downs (Dirt). Top-three contender with that run under the belt.

Second-up settled back and ran on when 4th of 7 at Monmouth Park Turf on August 15 over 1609m, 6 len behind Perfect Dream with 54.5kg at $7.50. Looks to be making up the numbers.

Form hard to fault. Last start 4th of 9 at Colonial Downs on September 5 over 1609m, 7 len behind In The Hunt with 54kg at $9.30. Before that 4th of 10 at Colonial Downs Inner Turf on August 9 over 1609m, 8 len behind Induction carrying 54kg at $18.60. Can make amends for a modest effort last time.
