Laurel Park Race 5 - Race 5 - Maiden Special Weight
RAISIN WEEKEND (5) Catalina Cruiser 3yo having first start for Horacio De Paz. J G Torrealba is a pivotal booking. Betting as a guide. SERENITY SONG (3) Right in contention last start around here and was a debutant last start. Jockey Sheldon Russell and trainer Brittany T Russell are a formidable team. Will take some beating today. BOOST (2) Faded in the late stages of the race when 2nd beaten by close to 10L last run at Colonial Downs and gets a favourable draw. Goes close. HAVE ONE MORE (1) Was nothing special when 6th last start here but was on debut last time. Likely to get back in the field. Has minimal work to do from the gate. Honest and strong place bet in this race.

Was $12.00 and only fair when 6th last start at the track but having second career run. Prefers to settle towards the rear. Gets the perfect barrier. Will be a difficult test.

Faded at the finish when 2nd last run at Colonial Downs and will try to take advantage of the draw. Should muster plenty of early speed. Will go close.

Narrowly denied a win last start around here and was a debutant last start. Jockey Sheldon Russell and trainer Brittany T Russell are usually competitive when they team up. Holds a major chance.

Jumped at $16.00 and ran 4th last start here but fitter for debut run. Very unlikely.
