Laurel Park Race 3 - Race 3 - Maiden Special Weight
BALLINACLASH (4) has been in the placings at his last two starts, finishing second last time when he was always up in the leading division over 1106m at this track (Dirt). Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. TAJ MAHAL (2) is a son of Nyquist from the Listed winner Oola Gal who makes his debut. Profiles nicely for a big run at first outing. PONT AVEN (3) is racing well without winning. Last start finished second, beaten 9 lengths, over 1408m at this track (Dirt). Good chance to break through. SIR GEORGE (7) has not raced since he finished second on debut over 1106m at Delaware Park on September 11. This sets up nicely.
