Laurel Park Race 8 - Race 8 - Mdn Claiming
HIGH ANXIETY (10) was well in commission last start over 1710m at this track (Turf) when second, beaten 4.5 lengths. Tricky draw but worth another chance. AMAZING GRACER (1) missed the placings two starts back then ran a better race and finished 3 lengths away in fourth last time out over 1710m at Belmont Park after being in contention on the turn. Finds an easier assignment and can find winning form. PANAMA CANAL (5) met with solid support last start over 1609m at Colonial Downs Inner Turf (Turf) when fourth, beaten 4 lengths. Jorge Ruiz stays on and although yet to win has been in the money on two occasions. One of the contenders. DEVILISH GRIN (2) has not won for over a year, the latest running second at Belmont Park Turf (Turf) over 1710m. Yet to win at the distance but has recorded five places from eight tries and is worth including. Something for the Multiples: ABOUT AND AROUND (9)
