Laurel Park Race 4 - Race 4 - Maiden Claiming
CUPID'S CHOICE (5) Faded in the late stages of the race when 3rd beaten by 2 1/2L last time at this venue. Should jump out and bowl along. Very competitive this campaign. Looks promising in this race. WEATHER BEATER (7) 3yo by Mckinzie racing as a debutant for John E Salzman Jr. Betting is the best guide. BELLE OF LIBERTY (8) Good performance to run into 3rd last run at Turfway Park. Will be positive in the run early. Worth a ticket. KARA M S (3) Carlos A Mancilla 3yo debutant by Army Mule. Follow the money.

Was outmatched at the end of the race when 3rd beaten by 2 1/2L last time at the track. Has plenty of early speed. Expecting a strong showing.

Amongst the placegetters when 3rd beaten by over 6L last run at Turfway Park. Has good tactical speed and will be nicely positioned. Worth a serious look.

Back from a break. At $7.50 clearly outclassed when 7th last start at Turfway Park. Yedsit Hazlewood is a key booking. Likely to get back. Hard to warm to.
