Laurel Park Race 5 - Race 5 - Claiming
VENETO (3) is going well this time in work, including a last start win over 1609m at this track (Dirt) to bring up two wins from four runs in the campaign. Has good early toe so he should be handy in the run. Will give a great sight. BATTALION LEADER (7) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 8 lengths when fifth over 1207m at this track three-and-a-half weeks ago after being in the firing line on the corner. Best figures measure up nicely. Sure to run well. POOR PEANUT (4) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1207m at this track, beaten 12 lengths into eighth. Has the ability to put the recent run of form behind him. ORB ALPHA (6) was last at the races when he lost rider over 1609m at Gulfstream Park (Dirt) on January 23. Makes plenty of appeal. Something for the Multiples: IN HONOR OF JEFF (1)
