Laurel Park Race 3 - Race 3 - Mdn Special Weight
LET'S BE FRANK (10) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 1811m at Belmont Park Inner Turf, beaten one length after being prominent at the corner. Ideally placed and is sure to play a major role. IRISH NUNSENSE (6) is yet to break through after seven career starts. Managed to fill a minor placing at Colonial Downs Inner Turf (Turf) two starts back before finishing sixth over 1710m at this track (Turf) last time. Among the leading chances. DARING GRACE (5) wasn't far off maiden success before a break of 11 months, finishing the campaign with a minor placing over 1408m at Dundalk All Weather. Strong winning chance on best figures. HARD FREEZE (4) was in the money at Delaware Park Turf (Turf) when resuming two runs back then could only manage fourth at Laurel (Dirt) over 1609m two weeks ago. Has ability and rates among the chances.

At debut, ran last of 10 at this track on September 20 over 1710m, 12 len behind Meritorious with 55.5kg at $18. Might need more time based on that poor debut.
