Laurel Park Race 9

Spectacular Bid S. Stakes

Prize Money: $142,653

HOLLYWOOD IMPORT (4) showed good speed over 1408m in Listed grade at this track (Dirt) and led throughout to score. Should be ridden positively again and should prove tough to beat. CODE OF SILENCE (1) was on a winning run of two races but last time out finished third over 1609m at this track. Can return to his winning form. AWESOME ANDY (3) got the job done last start by 0.8 lengths at this track (Dirt) over 1106m. Yet to miss the placings here in an excellent record which boasts two wins and two placings. Should be involved in the finish. TRENDSETTER (7) resumed last start over 1308m in stakes class at Turfway Park (Synthetic) and showed little early speed, settling well back but hitting the line hard to finish second, beaten 1.3 lengths. Will find this much easier. Well placed and expected to measure up. Among the top-three hopes.
