Laurel Park Race 5 - Race 5 - Maiden Claiming
TELL 'EM I'M COMIN (4) is a 31-start maiden finding it tough to win but has been in the placings at his last two runs, finishing second most recently over 1609m at this track (Dirt). Has never been out of the money in four starts over this course and distance. Among the leading chances. FREEDOM GLIDER (3) returns after nine weeks in the paddock. Closed the last campaign with a ninth over 1106m at this track (Dirt). Good effort to kick-off last prep when in the money at Monmouth Park Turf over 1710m. Rates highly and is a strong chance to break through. HELLO NEWMAN (6) is a four-year-old gelding who is having his first run for the Barry Foley barn. Resumes after finishing sixth at Aqueduct (Dirt) at his last run nine weeks ago. Hasn't trialled publicly but is in a nice race. Bold showing expected. KITTY'S SON (5) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1609m at this track, beaten 23 lengths. Fitter this time will prove harder to beat.

Lining up for just third start. At very big odds at debut, ran last of 8 at this track on December 26 over 1207m, 44 len behind Lonesome Road with 57kg at $69.60. Second-up second last of 9 at this track on January 16 over 1710m, 44 len behind Christmas Spirit carrying 57kg at $68.60. Win doesn't look likely.
