Parx Racing Race 9 - 6 1/2F Stakes
BALA DE PLATA (4) Faded in the late stages of the race when 2nd beaten by 6L last time at Laurel Park but up against stronger opponents. Has early speed and positions nicely. Genuine threat. J CODY (1) Charged home to win last run at the track and will appreciate a good draw. Has not missed this campaign with 2 wins from 2 starts. Serious player. PONDER AND DREAM (5) Was competitive when 2nd last run at this venue and promising career start. Taking on stronger opponents. Should go close. RESPIGHI (3) Gave them all something to chase when winning by close to 7L last start here and honest performer putting a tidy record together. Demonstrating upward trajectory in recent races. Include in chances.

Bold effort when winning last run here and has a nice advantage with a good draw. Flying this preparation with 2 wins from 2 runs but racing in stronger company. Should go very close.

First up and threw down a serious challenge first up last preparation at Zia Park. First appearance for a new trainer and good career start. Gets a favourable draw. Can't back with any confidence.

Led all the way to win by almost 7L last start around here and solid career start. Should get going late. Form has been improving over recent runs. Represents value in this race.

Was outmuscled when 2nd last time at Laurel Park but back to a shorter distance. Has plenty of early speed. Yedsit Hazlewood is a key booking but facing formidable rivals. Should give this a shake.

Set the tempo to win by a margin of 14L last start at this venue and fitter for debut run. Likely to be well placed early. Can feature in this event.

Finished strongly when 2nd last start at Penn National and honest performer putting a tidy record together. Should be swooping on the field late. Going well this preparation. Others are more appealing.
