Laurel Park Race 2 - Race 2 - Claiming
VENETO (2) showed little early speed then came with a powerful run to finish third last time out over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Generally performs well here and has registered eight minor placings. Sure to go well. MAGNIFICENT RAGS (1) got well back over 1609m at Timonium (Dirt) last time and never threatened, eventually finishing 16 lengths away in fifth. Won't find this as tough so he is sure to be prominent. COCO NO LOCO (7) could only manage fifth on dirt over 1609m at Colonial Downs two back then couldn't find the top-three on turf over 1609m at Colonial Downs Inner Turf more recently. Blinkers go on; among the leading chances. PAYNTED LION (4) finished third last start at the first run back from a spell over 1106m at Delaware Park (Dirt) when he worked home well, beaten 1.5 lengths. It doesn't get any easier but on his best form he is one of the key runners.

Recent form sound. Most recently raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by 1.0 len at Timonium on September 7 over 1308m defeating Meredithslightning with 57kg at $1.80. The run before that 2nd of 7 at Delaware Park on August 7 over 1106m, 1.75 len behind Ray Of Lov with 56kg at $7.30. Broke maiden status last time and is worthy of consideration.
