Laurel Park Race 2

Starter Optional Claiming

Prize Money: $43,103

MASTER SCHEMER (1) is racing well, scoring two back at Colonial Downs (Dirt) before finishing half a length from the winner in second last time over 1710m at this track (Dirt). Generally goes well here. Expected to be in the finish. GOLDEN DESCENT (6) showed good early speed then led into the straight last start before fighting on to finish third, beaten 1.1 lengths, over 1106m at Laurel Turf (Turf). Will go forward and is expected to be in the finish again. MARCAN LOVE (4) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start when he was always well out of his ground over 1710m at this track, beaten 12 lengths into sixth. Angel Cruz gets the best out of this three-year-old gelding. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. EXECUTIVE ORDER (5) finished tenth over 1207m at Saratoga (Dirt) at his most recent appearance on July 23. Lines up today for the first time for trainer Kieron Magee. Has found a suitable race and is worth including.
