Parx Racing Race 8 - 1m 1/2f Stakes
BALA DE PLATA (3) Was well beaten when 5th last time at Laurel Park. Should improve from the last run but up against a higher level of opposition. Expecting to settle positively. No surprise to see a forward showing and one of the main hopes in this race. OUR NOTION (6) Caught the eye when 2nd beaten by 3/4L last time at Delaware Park but up in grade. Mychel J Sanchez and Jamie Ness form a proven partnership. Can win. PSALMIST (2) Passed some rivals in the late stages when 4th last time around here and facing a rise in trip. Finishes off strongly. Has a good draw. Suitably placed in this race. PROFOUND (4) Attacked the line when 2nd beaten by 2L last start at this venue but facing a stronger group of contenders. Has very good closing speed. Not out of this.

First up today. Started $16.00 and lost ground in the run home when 4th last start at Aqueduct but has drawn to do little work. Challenged by more formidable competitors. Hard to recommend with any confidence.

Started $4.00 and ran on into 4th last time at this venue and going up in distance. Always seems to find the line well. Gets a favourable stall. Expecting a strong showing.

Was $7.00 and couldn't stay in touch when 5th last time at Laurel Park. Should improve from the last run but competing in a higher grade. Good potential.

Finished with intent when 2nd last start at the track but up against a more competitive field. Expected to be flashing home. Respected competitor.

Made some ground late when 3rd last time at Aqueduct but facing stiffer opposition. Will be trying to topple them late. Looks hopeful at best.

Good run when placing 2nd beaten by 3/4L last time at Delaware Park but rising in class. Jockey Mychel J Sanchez and trainer Jamie Ness go well together. Genuine claims.
