Laurel Park Race 5 - Race 5 - Maiden Claiming
CHIMNEY SWEEP (11) wasn't far off maiden success before a break of six-and-a-half months, finishing the campaign with a minor placing over 1207m at this track (Turf). Well placed and happy to have him on top. COUNTRY BUMPKIN (1) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1207m at Laurel, beaten 8 lengths. Finds a more suitable contest and can take this out. SE THAR BARR (5) showed little early speed when resuming last start then picked up impressively in the straight to finish third at this track (Turf) over today's journey. Strong chance again. RED SEA (13) is a four-year-old entire who is having his first run for the A Ferris Iii Allen stable. Resumes after finishing fourth at Saratoga Turf (Turf) at his last run nine months ago. Not seen at the trials but looks nicely placed. Can run a bold race.
