Laurel Park Race 8 - Race 8 - Maiden Claiming
WATCH ME SPARKLE (2) settled towards the back last start on debut then pushed forward and boxed on well to finish second over 1609m at this track (Dirt). Has plenty of upside and should prove tough to beat again. HONOR OUR COUNTRY (1) is yet to break through after three career starts. Could only manage to finish tenth last time out over 1408m at this track (Dirt) following a minor placing at Colonial Downs (Dirt) over 1408m the run prior. Cannot be left out of calculations. BAY WEST (7) debuted five-and-a-half weeks ago when she finished sixth over 1207m at this track (Dirt), beaten 11 lengths. Plenty of scope for improvement. DISNEY BELLE (4) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1609m at this track, beaten 7 lengths. Placed to advantage so anticipating another big run.
