Laurel Park Race 4 - Race 4 - Mdn Claiming
BETTERPARTOFVALOUR (2) has started twice, running a good third on debut then finishing fifth, beaten 11 lengths, last time over 1106m at this track (Dirt). Backmarker who keeps coming. Rates highly on debut effort and should go well. JERSEY CORN (7) stepped out on his debut over 1106m at Laurel (Dirt) three weeks ago and finished fifth, beaten 11 lengths. Will have a lot more to offer this time. GONE FOR GOOD (5) is a three-start maiden who could only manage to finish seventh at his latest appearance over 1106m at Laurel (Dirt) after he was well back on straightening. Solid top-three chance on his best figures. UNRELENTINGCOURAGE (8) resumes from a spell of nine weeks. Looked close to a win before that break, finishing off with a minor placing over 1006m at Colonial Downs Inner Turf (Turf). Rates highly on best form and a bright return wouldn't surprise.
