Laurel Park Race 8 - Race 8 - Starter Optional Claiming
UNBEATABLE (1) Displayed good finishing speed when 2nd last time at Horseshoe Indianapolis and solid career start. Has run into the money 2 from 2 attempts this preparation. Good chance and wouldn't be surprised to see it pick up a win. DARING VENTURE (7) Lacklustre showing when 7th last run at Colonial Downs. Should improve from the last run but up in class. Sheldon Russell and Brittany T Russell are an imposing duo. Can win. MARVELOUS MO (3) Finished 4th last start Parx At Philadelphia. Has the ability to turn things around but up against a more competitive field. Should jump out and bowl along. Ticks plenty of boxes and looks like value . GOLDEN DESCENT (4) Didn't threaten when 5th last run at Colonial Downs. Should improve from the last run and proven performer at this trip. Very competitive this campaign but racing against tougher rivals. Can feature.

Made considerable ground when 2nd beaten by 3/4L last time at Horseshoe Indianapolis and putting a tidy record together so far. Has drawn the rails. Will run close.

Odds of $36.00 and didn't attack the line when 7th last time at Monmouth Park but can find a nice position from the draw. Back to a shorter trip. Hard to see this being good enough.

At $8.00 folded up in the straight when 6th last time at Delaware Park. Can make a comeback and have to respect the form at this trip. Can lift in this event.

At $9.00 not up to scratch when 6th last run at Monmouth Park and down in distance. Has good tactical speed and will be nicely positioned. Respect the betting.

At $6.00 below par when 7th last run at Colonial Downs. Should improve from the last run but racing in stronger company. Should go very close.
