Laurel Park Race 2 - Race 2 - Claiming
HARD STANCE (4) Was making up some late ground when 5th last time Hollywood Casino At Charles Town Races and taking on easier opposition. Genuine threat. VENETO (3) Backs up quickly. Worked hard to place 2nd beaten by 1/2L last start at Timonium but facing formidable competition. Been in the placegetters each attempt this preparation. Has the ability to take this out. MAKE IT QUICK (2) Closed off nicely when 4th last start at Colonial Downs and can find a nice position from the draw. Challenged by more formidable competitors. Worth consideration. UNCLE ZEB (6) Displayed a good turn of foot when winning last time at Delaware Park and on an upward trajectory in recent races. Displays good closing speed. Winnable race.

Weakened to finish 8th last start at Colonial Downs but goes down in class. Shows good closing speed. Large claim helps and drawn well. Back in trip. Looking elsewhere.

Started $6.50 and advanced late into 4th last start at Colonial Downs and gets a favourable alley. Facing a stronger group of contenders. Right in the mix.

On a quick turnaround. Was overpowered late when 2nd beaten by 1/2L last start at Timonium but testing ability against stronger contenders. Worth a lot of thought in this race.

Odds of $7.50 and edged past some when finishing 5th last time Hollywood Casino At Charles Town Races and challenged by weaker competitors. Winning potential.
