Laurel Park Race 1 - Race 1 - Mdn Claiming
HADID (7) finished out of the money on debut two starts back then was beaten 8 lengths when fourth over 1207m at Presque Isle Downs two-and-a-half weeks ago after being in contention on the turn. Finds a nice race and can feature in the finish. LAST HOT LOVER (2) is yet to break through after three career starts. Managed to find the placings at Monmouth Park (Dirt) two starts back before finishing fifth over 1710m at Meadowlands (Turf) last start. Cannot be left out of calculations. CATTY'S ANGEL (5) was lining up for just the second time last start when second over 1106m at this track, beaten 6 lengths. Has upside and will be right in this. SUGAR BUSH (8) was in the firing line on the turn and finished third last time over 1106m at this track (Turf), beaten 6 lengths. Will trim down following recent racing. Suitably placed so anticipating another strong effort.
