Laurel Park Race 11

Frank J. De Francis Memorial Dash S. Stakes

Prize Money: $272,162

DEAN DELIVERS (7) turned in a handy position before finishing third last start over 1207m in stakes class at Monmouth Park (Dirt), beaten 1.5 lengths when resuming. Facing a tougher assignment but he is good enough to feature. SUBROGATE (5) is a promising five-year-old entire who returned from a break last start and finished one length away in second over 1207m in Listed grade at Monmouth Park (Dirt). Unbeaten second-up so there is plenty of upside. CELTIC CONTENDER (3) showed good early speed when resuming last start over today's journey in the G3 Maryland Sprint Stakes at Pimlico (Dirt) before finishing third, beaten 7 lengths. Meeting a deeper field this time but he is up to the challenge. HAPPY IS A CHOICE (8) is close to breaking through after two consecutive placings, the latest coming when third over 1207m at Group 3 level at Churchill Downs (Dirt). Finds a suitable race and can build on solid recent efforts.
