Laurel Park Race 9 - Race 9 - Mdn Claiming
ENGAGED IS BETTER (2) Was in the race for a long way when 3rd last start at the track and gets a favourable gate. Solid career start. Rates a winning chance. SGT. FINLEY (4) First time at the races 2yo by Mitole for trainer Phillip Capuano. Watch early betting. GIRVINSKI (9) Was strong late when 2nd beaten by 6L last time at Delaware Park and having second career run. Anthony Pecoraro has been training plenty of winners recently. Will be around the mark at odds. KING XISCO (1) Came in 4th last run around here but drawn the rails. First race for a new trainer but dropping in distance. Could run into the money.

Couldn't maintain the momentum throughout when 3rd last start here and showing consistent performance in races. Jockey Leandro M Briceno and trainer John E Salzman Jr can't be overlooked. Expect support.

Started at $28.00 and average performance when 7th last start here but having second career run. Daniel G Eubanks stable are in good form of late. Prefer a race with softer competition.

Started $23.00 and just average when 9th last run around here. Daniel G Eubanks stable are running hot lately. Does take a while to get into stride. Unlikely to feature.

Started $83.00 and gave away some ground when 9th last start at the track but facing less formidable opponents. Will need to lift.

Good performance to run into 2nd last time at Delaware Park and was a debutant last start. Have to respect the recent Anthony Pecoraro form. Good potential.

Couldn't keep the pace going when 3rd beaten by 4L last start at Delaware Park. Jockey Emanuel Rosario consistently rides well for this stable. Watch the betting.
