Laurel Park Race 1 - Race 1 - Maiden Claiming
PONEY ISLAND (1) comes off a solid 2nd at Hollywood Casino At Charles Town Races over 1308m, beaten just 0.5L, and looks well placed back in this grade. FORTUNE GARDEN (6) was 4th at Laurel Park over this trip last start and can be competitive again. LOAF OF SOF (8) finished 4th at Laurel Park over 1106m on debut and is open to improvement. BELLINI GOLD (2) was well beaten on debut at Tampa Bay Downs but could take benefit from that run. Poney Island (1) brings the strongest recent form into this maiden.
