Laurel Park Race 9

Polynesian S. Stakes

Prize Money: $143,678

WINTERFELL (3) resumed last time out and finished third over 1609m at Colonial Downs, beaten 6 lengths. Sure to prove tough to stop. MR RIPPLE (5) was a dominant winner last time over 1673m at Listed level at Delaware Park (Dirt), getting home by 5 lengths. Should be prominent from the outset. Expecting a bold showing. J J ZO ZO (6) led for much of the way before fading right out of it late to finish 8 lengths adrift in fourth at Listed level at Monmouth Park Turf (Turf) last time out. Well placed in this easier race. Certainly one to consider. ZERO BLITZ (7) started at $2.20 last time but could only manage fourth, beaten 10 lengths, at this track over 1609m. Jorge Ruiz who has scored on him two times retains the mount. Worth including in calculations. Something for the Multiples: MR. RIPPLE (5)

Racing well recently. At the latest run tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 3rd of 9 at Listed level at Parx at Parx on September 19 over 2414m, 6 len behind San Siro with 54.5kg at $5.10. The run before that 4th in a small field at Listed level at Parx at Parx on August 18 over 1609m, 3.5 len behind Margie's Fun Son carrying 55.5kg at $11.30. Rates highly and is among the main hopes.

Recent form sound. Most recently scored a big 5 len win in stakes class at Delaware Park at Delaware Park on September 12 over 1673m defeating Freedom Road with 53.5kg at $2.40. The race before that scored a big 12 len win at Penn National on August 7 over 1673m defeating Kissthemoon carrying 56kg at $1.30. Plenty to like about his prospects.

Recent form sound. Most recently 4th of 8 at this track on September 11 over 1609m, 10 len behind Adero with 56kg at $2.20. The run before that came from midfield and won by 1.5 len at Colonial Downs on August 22 over 1408m defeating Bold Diversion with 56kg at $1.40. Didn't fire last start but is capable of better.
