Laurel Park Race 4 - Race 4 - Claiming
WHO SAYS SO (4) Weakened to finish 5th last time here. Has the ability to turn things around but facing a stronger group of contenders. Finishes off strongly. Yedsit Hazlewood is a key booking. Goes very close. BLO BY'EM (5) Ran on when 3rd last run at this track but matched against tougher rivals. Recent form of the stable is strong. Capable of taking this out. D HOPPER (1) Amongst the placegetters when 3rd last time Hollywood Casino At Charles Town Races and matched against lesser competition. Jockey Brittany Scampton and trainer Rodolfo Sanchez Salomon work well together. Is in good order and can run well. ELLINGER (6) Came in 4th last run around here. Likely to bounce back but taking on stronger rivals. The large claim from Jose E Vargas helps. This field suits.

Placed 3rd last time Hollywood Casino At Charles Town Races and competing at a lower class. Will be pushing for a forward position early. Returning to an increased distance. Looks threatening.

Didn't threaten when 5th last start around here on a heavy rated track but competing in a less challenging grade. Dropping in distance. Best to watch only.

Started at 11/2 and couldn't maintain the pace when 5th last time here. Has the ability to turn things around but challenged by more formidable competitors. Stamps its reason for consideration.

Nice effort to run into 3rd last run at this venue but up against a more competitive field. Kieron Magee stable are on fire recently. Worth a lot of thought in this race.

Jumped at 9/2 and ran 4th last run at the track. Likely to bounce back but stepping up to a higher level. Large claim helps. One of the leading contenders.
