Laurel Park Race 4 - Race 4 - Maiden Special Weight
YAU MAJESTY (4) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1207m at this track, beaten 8 lengths. Nicely placed to give this a mighty shake. WATCH ME SPARKLE (5) is ready to win after another minor placing last start, finishing third after she gave away a big start over 1609m at this track (Dirt). Finds a suitable race and can find the winner's circle. LADY LYDIA (6) was safely held on debut last start, finishing 13 lengths behind the winner in fourth over 1609m at this track (Dirt). Will take a lot from that experience. Top-three chance. MIDWEST PRINCESS (2) is resuming from a spell of four-and-a-half months and having her first run for the Benjamin J Dunn yard. Was in the placings when first-up from a spell last campaign at Presque Isle Downs (Synthetic) over 1609m.

Was well in the market at debut, 4th of 8 at this track on January 9 over 1609m, 13 len behind Velocity Girl with 56kg at $4.90. Will have benefited from that outing and is likely to measure up.
