Laurel Park Race 8 - Selima S. Stakes
MAYBE GOLD (5) wasted no time getting off the mark on debut over 1207m at Colonial Downs Turf (Turf) six weeks ago. Likely improver who should run well again. SEA ISLE CITY (2) was too good for a maiden field last start over 1308m at Kentucky (Turf), scoring by 1.3 lengths. Is lightly raced and has plenty of scope for improvement. Serious contender again with the confidence high. HOMEAWAYFROMHOME (9) broke through for her maiden win over 1609m at Ellis Park Turf (Turf) last time. Sparingly raced and has more to offer. Jumps from a wide draw but she is right in the mix again. CHEROKEE PURPLE (7) finished second last start over 1609m at Kentucky (Turf) when she worked home well, beaten half a length. Has the ability to take care of this field.

Freshened since getting off the mark on debut; came from midfield and won by 3 len at Colonial Downs Inner Turf on July 31 over 1609m defeating By Her Decree carrying 54kg at $9.70. Unlikely to be contesting the finish despite that strong debut.

Having third race start. At debut, sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 3rd of 12 at Ellis Park Turf on July 10 over 1106m, 0.8 len behind Crack On carrying 54kg at $6.12. Last start won by a 0.1 len at Ellis Park Turf on August 16 over 1609m defeating Cyber Gal with 54kg at $3.17. Well-placed and should prove hard to beat.

Last start won by a nose at Colonial Downs Turf on August 22 over 1106m defeating Poll Position carrying 54kg at $3. Will prove tough to beat.
