Parx Racing Race 9 - 6 1/2F Stakes
BALA DE PLATA (4) was well fancied last start over 1609m at Laurel (Dirt) when second, beaten 6 lengths. Certainly deserves another chance. SHANE'S WONDER (6) wasted no time getting off the mark on debut over 1207m at this track (Dirt) five weeks ago. Promising type who can go back-to-back. PONDER AND DREAM (5) showed good early muster and fought on to finish second when resuming last start over 1308m at this track (Dirt). Well placed and there is no reason he cannot salute. RESPIGHI (3) was an impressive winner last time over 1408m at this track (Dirt), leading throughout and putting 6 lengths on his rivals. Sure to be thereabouts.
