Laurel Park Race 9 - Race 9 - Claiming
PUDGE BOY PALACE (1) has been in the placings at his last two starts, finishing second last time when he was always up in the leading division over 1609m at this track (Dirt). The engagement of Yedsit Hazlewood is a positive move. Finds a more suitable contest and can take the next step and salute. ECUMENICAL (2) scored at his most recent appearance, getting home by 1.3 lengths over 1207m at this track (Dirt) as favourite. That continued the solid form this campaign, with four wins and two minor placings from nine runs. Leading player again. PIT STOP MAN (3) last appeared three weeks ago over 1408m at this track when he finished second. This is his first run for the Daniel J Mckenzie stable. Sure to make his presence felt. SEVEN'S ELEVEN (6) finished fifth two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1408m at this track, beaten 4.5 lengths. Looks to be in the right race so he should be in contention again.

Comes here off a 32-day let-up. At the latest run ran second last in a small field at Delaware Park on May 27 over 1106m, 7 len behind Kerness K carrying 55.5kg at $41.60. Before that ran last in a small field at this track on May 9 over 1207m, 12 len behind Searcy with 53.5kg at $3.80. Will jump at pretty long odds and deservedly so.
