Laurel Park Race 3 - Race 3 - Mdn Special Weight
FANCY GENTLEMAN (2) Moved ahead of some to finish 4th last start at Horseshoe Indianapolis and rising in trip. Shows good early pace. Gets a favourable gate. Should be competitive in this race at a bit of odds. LET'S BE FRANK (10) Picked up late ground when 2nd last start at Belmont Park. First start for a new trainer. No shock to see a win. COACH MICHAEL (9) Nice run when 3rd last run at Delaware Park and putting a tidy record together. Should muster plenty of early speed. Coming to a new trainer. Can take this out. FRIENDSHIP SLOOP (3) 3yo debutant by Good Magic for Michael R Matz. Betting as a guide.

Odds of $16.00 and faded to finish 10th last start at the track but was on debut last time. Recent form of the stable is strong and drawn beautifully. Highly unlikely to feature here.

Jumped at $5.00 and advanced late into 4th last start at Horseshoe Indianapolis and racing over extra ground. Has early speed and positions nicely. Solid prospects.

Jumped at $14.00 and weakened under pressure when 4th last run around here. Jockey Jeiron Barbosa and trainer Suzanne Stettinius deserve respect as a team. Watch for a sign in the market.

Started at $18.00 and didn't threaten when 6th last start at the track. One for the exotics.

Was amongst the placegetters when 3rd last start at Delaware Park and facing an increased distance. Demonstrating upward trajectory in recent races. Modest hope.

In the money when 3rd last run at Delaware Park and solid career start. Racing for a new trainer. Should muster plenty of early toe. Rates as one of the key chances.
