Laurel Park Race 6 - James F. Lewis Iii S. Stakes
WALT'S NOTION (4) Threw down a serious challenge last run at Delaware Park but up against stronger rivals. Should get going late. Been in the money 2 from 2 attempts this preparation. Won't be far away. GRINDITOUT (5) Took charge of the race when winning by a margin of 4 3/4L last run at Colonial Downs and was on debut last time. Could pose a threat and expected to go very close. HAREWOOD (1) Zipped home into 3rd last start at Colonial Downs and drawn the rails. Sheldon Russell and Brittany T Russell link well together. Has a great burst of speed late. Respect against this field. DATS IMPROBABLE (2) Led all the way when winning by over 10L last run at Timonium and having second career run. Has good tactical speed and will be nicely positioned. Will be there at the finish.

Good performance to run into 3rd last start at Colonial Downs and promising career start. Sheldon Russell and Brittany T Russell are a duo to watch closely. Drawn well. Definite claims for punters.

Led and controlled the pace to win by a margin of more than 10L last run at Timonium and was a debutant last start. Likely to be well placed early. Should go very close.

Narrowly beaten last run at Delaware Park but matched against a stronger field. Finishes off strongly. Amongst the placegetters at every start this campaign. Winning potential.

Controlled the pace to win by a margin of 4 3/4L last run at Colonial Downs and having second race start. Should muster plenty of early speed. Should progress and will be close.

Gave them all something to chase when winning by 3L last start at Colonial Downs but testing ability against stronger contenders. Has strong claims.
