Laurel Park Race 2 - Race 2 - Starter Optional Claiming
QUAKER CITY (5) got off the mark over 1308m at Parx (Dirt) last start, scoring by 1.3 lengths. Mychel J Sanchez was in the saddle on that occasion and retains the mount. Progressing well so worth following up. MR HANDSOME (1) broke through for his maiden win over 1609m at Penn National (Dirt) last time, scoring comfortably. Sparingly raced and has more to offer. Looks well placed and he is a solid top-three hope. INNO HURRY EARLY (3) was out of the money when resuming two runs back then again missed the frame last start when he was always well out of his ground over 1609m at Laurel Turf, beaten 12 lengths into eighth. Finds a suitable assignment and can take this out. ST PETE'S PASSION (4) was beaten 6 lengths into fourth at the second run back from a break in a 1609m contest at Delaware Park last time out. Has his share of talent and is a top-three prospect.
