Track: Laurel Park
Race: 8 - Post Time: 4:00pm ET
Recent Best Bet Winners:
12/01 - Los Alamitos Race 7 STEALTH DRONE ($5.00)
12/03 - Los Alamitos Race 7 Exacta ($44.70)
Monday’s 8th race from Laurel Park (12-04-17) is an Optional Claiming event for 3-year-olds and up traveling a mile and a sixteenth on the main track. 
#2 Fellowship (10-1) was hung out wide from post 10 and remained in contention part of the way in the Richard Small Stakes on Nov 11. He is 0-for-7 in stakes races this year but 2-for-3 vs. non-stakes rivals and might be able to bounce back with an inner stalking trip today. He owns competitive numbers and should offer wagering value. 
#4 Wake Up in Malibu (3-1) just lasted in a local flat mile affair Nov 23 and that was his first start after the David Jacobson claim. He looks like the controlling speed under Sheldon Russell. 
#6 Monongahela (5-1) is a consistent Penn National shipper with seven exacta finishes from as many starts at this distance. The 3-year-old colt owns ascending numbers and can compete here if he handles the new surroundings. 
The Plays:
#2 to win
Exacta 2/4-6
Exacta 4-6/2
Trifecta Box 2-4-6
Trifecta 2-4/ALL/2-4-6
