Laurel Park Race 6 - Race 6 - Maiden Special Weight
TAX AND TAGS (1) 3yo first starter sired by Midshipman for John E Salzman Jr and has the ideal draw. Jockey Jr Joseph Rocco is a strong choice aboard. Watch betting. MIZNER (7) Came in 3rd last run at Colonial Downs. Jockey Sheldon Russell and trainer Brittany T Russell show promise as a duo. Possesses good finishing speed. Must be considered. BIG TIGER (8) Placed 3rd last time here and having second career run. Coming to a new trainer. Has to be included. COOL CUSTOMER (4) Overrun late when 2nd beaten by 4L last start at this track. Likely to be well placed early. Will be around the mark at odds.

3yo by Midshipman having first race start for trainer John E Salzman Jr and has a nice advantage with a good stall. Jr Joseph Rocco is highly regarded. Betting is the best guide.

First up after a break of 32 weeks. Started at $16.00 and weakened under pressure when 8th last run at Saratoga but having second career run. Gets a favourable stall. Looking elsewhere.

Was $6.00 and finished 4th last run Hollywood Casino At Charles Town Races but fitter for debut run. Stable is in form. Likely to settle back in the field. Very difficult to back.

Competitive effort when 3rd last run at Colonial Downs. Sheldon Russell and Brittany T Russell rate highly together. Finishes off strongly. Strong prospects in this race.

Tidy effort when 3rd last time at the track and was a debutant last start. Change in trainer. Expected to be flashing home. Very capable of taking this out.

At $6.50 folded up in the straight when 4th last time at Penn National but was on debut last time. Won't be far away during the run. Down in trip. Can't have on what it has been showing.
