Laurel Park Race 8 - Race 8 - Allowance Optional Claiming
U BETTER KISS ME (8) Rounded them up to win last time at Delaware Park and good career start. Jose A Batista and Nesvil Hernan Bailon command respect as a pairing. Rising in trip. Right in this. HIDDEN RHYTHM (9) Won by a huge margin of over 7L last start at Delaware Park but competing at a higher class. Sheldon Russell and Brittany T Russell are a formidable team. Goes close. SILVER STRINGS (7) Found another gear when winning by just short of 13L last start at the track but rising in grade. Mychel J Sanchez and Jamie Ness deserve respect together. Must come into consideration. MY HOMETOWN GAL (2) Gave a strong sight when 3rd last time at Delaware Park and competing at a lower level of competition. Likely to be well placed early. Showing great form this campaign. Solid each way claims.

Came in 4th last start at Delaware Park but stepping down to a lower level. Recent form of the stable is strong. Not hopeless.

Started at $16.00 and didn't find the line when 7th last time at Delaware Park but goes down in class. Likely to get back in the run. Watch betting.

At $14.00 pushed past some when 4th last start at Gulfstream Park but up against a higher level of opposition. First start for a new trainer. Watch the betting.

Dominant winner by a margin of just short of 13L last start at the track but competing in a more challenging grade. Betting is the best guide.

Finished well when winning last time at Delaware Park and putting a tidy record together. Jockey Jose A Batista and trainer Nesvil Hernan Bailon have shared plenty of success together. Good potential.

Had a comfortable win by more than 7L last start at Delaware Park but racing in stronger company. Jockey Sheldon Russell and trainer Brittany T Russell form a proven partnership. Can win this.
