Laurel Park Race 8 - Race 8 - Allowance Optional Claiming
HAILEYSFIRSTNOTION (5) has scored at his last two starts, most recently by 5 lengths over 1207m at this track (Dirt) as favourite. That continued the very strong form this campaign, with two wins from three starts. Can measure up again. AUGUSTA MELODY (3) made it two wins on the bounce last time out when he scored by 1.75 lengths over 1207m at Pimlico (Dirt). Has his share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. PETINGAS TWIN (6) resumes from a spell of six months. Has filled a minor placing at both first-up runs. Opened last prep with a second over 1207m at this track. Expected to run well. ON THE MARK (4) made progress last time out, finishing 3.5 lengths from the winner in third at the end of 1106m at this track. Finds a nice race and can keep improving.
