Laurel Park Race 8 - Race 8 - Starter Optional Claiming
BARONG (7) launched his career with a win two runs ago. Not as effective last time out when second over 1006m at Pimlico, beaten 3 lengths. Suitably placed so anticipating a better run this time. JOE THE JET (1) is struggling to break through but has been around the mark lately, last start finishing sixth over 1609m at this track (Turf). Among the leading chances. TETCHED (2) finished in the placings when a 1.5 lengths second on dirt at this track two back but then disappointed on turf last time at Pimlico over 1811m when eighth, finishing 8 lengths from the winner. Better placed here and expecting he will make amends. BLO BY'EM (5) proved too strong two runs ago but was not as effective last time out when fifth over 1207m at Pimlico, beaten 10 lengths. In the mix.
