Laurel Park Race 5 - Race 5 - Claiming
MR FLOWERS (10) is usually thereabouts but finds it hard to win, with just two wins from 22 starts. Did a good job last start to finish second over 1609m at Delaware Park Turf, beaten 2.25 lengths. The engagement of Mychel J Sanchez is noteworthy. Hard to beat in this suitable race. ORACLE OF BEAUFORT (6) finished tenth over 1609m at Colonial Downs Inner Turf (Turf) at his most recent appearance on August 28. Has found a suitable race. WEST MOUNTAIN (1) ran fifth at his latest appearance over 1609m at Laurel, finishing 15 lengths from the winner. Deserves serious consideration. BABBLE (9) ran a better race last start, finishing 2.25 lengths away in fourth over 1710m at this track. Capable of featuring prominently.

Form hard to fault. Comes here off a 30-day let-up. Most recently tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 11 at Delaware Park Turf on October 9 over 1609m, 2.25 len behind Bolt From Above with 54.5kg at $9.60. Before that 4th of 8 at Penn National Turf on September 4 over 1609m, on a slow track; 4 len behind Roxton carrying 55kg at $2.20. Good effort last start and can build on that performance.
