Laurel Park Race 3 - Race 3 - Mdn Special Weight
RIO GRANDE (9) First up from a spell of 28 weeks. Tidy effort when 3rd last run here. Jockey Sheldon Russell usually performs well for this stable. Gets a chance to win. RESOLUTE (2) Solid run when finishing 2nd beaten by 1L last start at Penn National and solid career start. Likely to be well placed early. Have to respect the recent stable form. Can get the job done. GOLD SOVEREIGN (3) Made considerable ground when 3rd beaten by over 6L last start at Saratoga but dropping back to a shorter trip. Change in trainer. Producing consistent results this campaign. Genuine winning chance. EXECUTIVE (8) Lost ground in the run home when 6th last start at Colonial Downs. Has the necessary speed to overcome the wide draw. Won't be far away.

Managed to finish 3rd last start at Saratoga but coming back in trip. First start for a new trainer. In top racing shape since coming back from a break. Strong claims in this.

Back from a break of 41 weeks. Odds of $16.00 and finished 6th last time at Turfway Park but having second career run. Likely to get back in the run. Tough ask.
