Laurel Park Race 5 - Race 5 - Starter Optional Claiming
KUHNER (8) Started off strong but faded towards the end when 2nd beaten by 1 1/4L last time at Colonial Downs and competing at a lower class. Genuine winning chance. VAYA JEFFE (9) Finished amongst the placegetters when 2nd beaten by 2L last start at Colonial Downs and has been racing in stronger company. Can take this out. CITRINE (2) Bolted in when winning by 3L last time at Colonial Downs and can find a nice position from the draw. Form has been improving over recent runs. Well placed and has solid claims. SNOOKIE BEAR (10) Kept running on late when 3rd last start at Colonial Downs and going down in class. Jockey Jaime Rodriguez is in top form for this stable. Won't be far away.

Jumped at $53.00 and weakened to finish 11th last start at Colonial Downs but matched against lesser competition. Racing consistently since returning from a break. Not in this.

Won by a big margin of 3L last time at Colonial Downs and gets a favourable alley. Always seems to find the line well. Getting better in recent performances. Strong prospects in this race.

At $11.00 underwhelming when 6th last start at Saratoga and stepping up to a higher level. Can go through the gears. Respect the betting.

Odds of $36.00 and was well beaten when 9th last run at Colonial Downs but stepping back up in distance. Facing a stronger grade. Hard to entertain.

Made considerable ground when 2nd last start at Colonial Downs and up against weaker rivals. Jockey Jeiron Barbosa and trainer Anthony Farrior are a combination worth following. Good enough chance at a very tempting price.
