Laurel Park Race 3

Allowance Optional Claiming

Stake: $83,051

BESTFRIEND ROCKET (4) Couldn't shake them off when 3rd last run at this track. Sheldon Russell and Brittany T Russell are a strong duo. Should muster plenty of early toe. Can get the job done. BJORN (1) Stormed home to win last time at this track and fitter for debut run. Will appreciate a good alley. Must be considered. URBAN SYMPHONY (6) Strong effort to the line to win last start at this venue and putting a tidy record together so far. Undefeated last 2 attempts. Racing for a new trainer. Should go close. ANALOG JONES (3) Appeared lacklustre when 4th last time at Churchill Downs but showing consistent performance in races. Will be positive in the run early. Very competitive this preparation. Better claims.
