Laurel Park Race 2 - Race 2 - Maiden Claiming
FLYING TO WORK (5) recorded another minor placing last time out, finishing 15 lengths away in third over 1609m at this track (Dirt) when he was prominent throughout. Ideally placed and is sure to play a major role. GONZALO (4) did little and finished 21 lengths from the winner in eighth over 1408m at Charles Town last start, a less impressive effort than his fifth at this track the run before. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. DAN GAMBLE (3) is appearing for the first time. By Gift Box and is out of the Justin J Nixon stable. Bold showing expected. BILLY BOY (7) was solid on debut last start when beaten 19 lengths into fourth over 1106m at this track (Dirt) on April 3. One of the main contenders. Solid top-three chance.

Last start second last of 9 at Charles Town on April 10 over 1408m, 21 len behind Doc Dallas carrying 56kg at $2.60. Before that second last in a small field at this track on March 6 over 1710m, 17 len behind Boss Mode with 55kg at $8. Capable of more – worth another chance.
