Laurel Park Race 8

Frank Y. Whiteley S. Stakes

Prize Money: $145,560

POINT DUME (5) has strung together a couple of wins at this circuit, the latest on February 14 over 1408m when he scored by 4 lengths. Winning rider Angel Cruz retains the mount. Tackling an easier race so he is all set to add to the picket fence. QUINT'S BREW (7) was quickly into stride over 1207m at Listed level at this track (Dirt) last time and defied all challengers to score by 0.3 lengths. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. BLUE KINGDOM (3) is close to breaking through after three consecutive placings, the latest at this track over 1207m. Sound record at this distance with three wins and two minor placings from seven runs and should be involved in the finish. CRAB DADDY (6) raced on the speed and found plenty to score by 1.5 lengths at today's track and distance last time out to continue his outstanding recent form. Taking on a better line-up this time but he can win again.

Dual acceptor. Form hard to fault. Last start won by a 0.3 len at this track LR March 7 over 1207m defeating Blue Kingdom with 57kg at $1.80. The race before that held ground to the line 3rd of 7 at this track in LR on February 14 over 1408m, 5 len behind Point Dume with 56kg at $1.60. Big chance to go back-to-back.
