Laurel Park Race 3 - Race 3 - Claiming
CHAPERONE (2) is returning from a spell of 11 weeks. Finished seventh at Oaklawn Park (Dirt) over 1710m at the first run last prep. Now with a new trainer Jamie Ness. Leading contender. CAT FAST (6) scored a narrow win last time over 1408m at Aqueduct (Dirt) on May 2. Drops significantly in the weights so he is expected to measure up again. PENCIL ME IN (3) finished 9 lengths from the winner in sixth on turf at Laurel Turf two starts back. Missed the frame in another run on turf last time at Laurel Turf over 1811m when 7 lengths adrift in sixth. Strong contender back on the dirt. Worth another chance. KEEN TALENT (4) accounted for a maiden field over 1710m at Charles Town (Dirt) last start, finishing half a length ahead of the nearest rival. Tougher task this time but expected to be competitive again.
