Laurel Park Race 3 - Race 3 - Maiden Special Weight
DURATION (6) boxed on to finish second last start over 1609m at Aqueduct (Dirt), beaten 1.5 lengths when resuming. Won't find this as tough so he is a major player. MARKET WATCH (3) returned last time with a solid third at Aqueduct (Dirt) over 1308m when he made late ground. Has the talent to break through. BRING THE SMOKE (5) ran well on debut last start to finish third over 1207m at this track (Dirt) in a tougher race. Will benefit from that experience so another bold showing is expected. EXPLOSIVE LOVE (4) ran a better race last start to finish a close second over 1106m at Penn National after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Finds a nice race and can secure another top-three finish. Something for the Multiples: MY MILITARY HERO (2)
