Laurel Park Race 13 - George E. Mitchell Black-Eyed Susan S. Stakes
BRAKEN POPPA (5) is a promising type still in first campaign but off to a great start to career. Has won four on end now, the latest scoring over 1673m in stakes class at Fairgrounds (Dirt). Going well and shapes as a top prospect again. MY MISS MO (10) showed good early dash last start and held on well to finish 2.75 lengths back in second over 1710m in the G2 Gulfstream Park Oaks (Dirt). Must raise the bar but she has the talent to test this line-up. JUMPING THE GUN (7) was well in commission when resuming last start over 1710m at Listed level at this track (Dirt) when third, beaten 5 lengths. Stiffer assignment here but she should be very competitive. IVY GIRL (2) scored last start in stakes class at this track (Dirt) to make it two wins from three starts this campaign. Goes up a notch this time but can figure in the finish.

Comes off a 41 day let-up. Last start favourite; came from midfield and won by a 0.3 len at Tampa Bay Downs April 4 over 1646m defeating Chatelot carrying 54.5kg at $2.40. Before that favourite; scored a big 8 len win at Gulfstream Park February 27 over 1408m defeating Sweetcity carrying 55.5kg at $3.40. This is going to test her.
