Laurel Park Race 8 - Miss Preakness S. Stakes
LITTLE MISS CURLIN (1) saluted last start at Oaklawn Park (Dirt) over this distance after she was in the firing line on the turn. Boasts excellent form at today's trip with four wins from five starts. Likely to push forward and race on the pace. Best figures should see her run well. TESSELLATE (5) was a most impressive winner last time over 1408m in stakes class at Tampa Bay Downs (Dirt), scoring by 5 lengths. Is going well this campaign, recording four wins from seven starts. Bold showing expected. PEACH TIE (2) is a progressive type still in first campaign but off to a great start to career. Placed last time over 1609m in Listed grade at this track (Dirt) but prior to that put together four wins on end. Races well here and is not to be underestimated. LATE NIGHT TEXT (6) got off the mark when resuming from a spell over 1408m at Gulfstream Park (Dirt) last start, scoring by 1.75 lengths. Tougher task this time but expected to be competitive again. Something for the Multiples: LIGHTS OUT LENI (3)
