Laurel Park Race 8 - Race 8 - Mdn Claiming
FOLLOW MY HART (6) Take Charge Indy 2yo trained by Michael J Trombetta having first race appearance. Watch the market. JACK RABBITNESS (4) Applied plenty of pressure when 3rd last start at Delaware Park and facing a rise in trip. Jaime Rodriguez and Jamie Ness are usually competitive when they team up. Sure to be competitive and must include. SPEED FOCUSED (1) Good run when placing 2nd beaten by just over 6L last start at this venue and has drawn to do little work. Putting a tidy record together. Inclined to respect any betting moves and presents good prospects. WAR REPORT (2) Weakened under pressure when 9th last run at this venue but having second race start. Likely to get back in the field. Has a good draw. Going over extra ground. Don't leave out of trifectas and watch market moves closely.

Produced an eye catching run when 2nd last start here and will be aiming for a soft run from the draw. Solid career start. Demonstrating upward trajectory in recent races. Will go close.

Started at $16.00 and gave away some ground when 9th last run here but was on debut last time. Prefers to settle towards the tail. Going up in trip. Big improvement required to threaten these.

Started at $23.00 and clearly outclassed when 10th last run at the track but facing an increased distance. Jockey Jr Joseph Rocco is in top form for this stable. Hard to recommend.

Was outmatched at the end of the race when 3rd last start at Delaware Park and stepping up in trip. Will be pushing for a forward position early. Should feature prominently.
