Laurel Park Race 10 - Race 10 - Maiden Claiming
FLAMENCO STAR (9) sat just off the speed and fought on well to finish second when resuming last start at this course and distance. Should park just off the speed. Sure to be in the finish. SHAKIN MY HEAD (5) is a eight-start maiden who finished fourth, beaten 2 lengths, when resuming from a spell last start over 1710m at this track (Turf). Will take a lot from that hit-out and looks a strong chance to break through. PAID VACATION (2) was in the firing line on the bend and ran a better race last start to finish a close third over 1710m at this track after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Nicely placed to play a pivotal role. GOLF CART RYDER (3) is a three-start maiden who returned last time and finished fourth at this track (Turf) over 1106m, beaten 3 lengths. Bold showing expected with added fitness this time.

Second run back. First-up after 10 months made some head-way from midfield; 4th of 14 at this track on May 15 over 1106m, 3 len behind Golden Descent with 53.5kg at $5.50.

Comes here off a 42-day let-up. Most recently 3rd of 12 at this track on April 19 over 1609m, 5 len behind Go Grey carrying 51kg at $7.50. The run before that 4th in a small field at Laurel on March 13 over 1609m, 6 len behind Master Schemer carrying 56kg at $8. Even the minor placings look out of reach.
