Laurel Park Race 8 - Race 8 - Maiden Claiming
RAILROAD INN (6) just missed last time when a nose away in second at this track (Dirt) over 1207m. Expected to go well. FLYING TO WORK (5) was well fancied last time and finished a close second over 1207m at this track (Dirt) to remain a maiden. Should park just off the speed. Best figures should see him run well. QUAHOG REPUBLIC (3) was below his best last time when 11th over 1106m at Laurel Turf (Turf), beaten 8 lengths. Has the ability to return to form. EL PAPACITO (2) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 905m at Charles Town, beaten 5 lengths into fourth. Better than recent efforts suggest.
