Laurel Park Race 9 - Race 9 - Maiden Claiming
I'M A LIL WICKED (1) has been in great form with two placings in succession, most recently when beaten 8 lengths into third over 1106m at this track (Dirt). Well placed and there is no reason she cannot find winning ways. HOTTER THAN FIRE (7) produced a fair effort on debut last time out when 8 lengths from the winner in sixth at Parx (Dirt) over 1673m. Anticipating sharp improvement with the run under the belt. FASTFELD (3) turned in a strong run two starts ago at this track (Dirt) then failed to back it up over 1609m at this track (Dirt) last time, beaten 24 lengths into sixth. Appeals back in trip this time so she shapes as one to consider. ELITE MISS (2) will find this a little easier than her last run just 10 days ago when sixth over 1609m at Horseshoe Indianapolis (Dirt). Should be in the mix in this suitable race.
