Laurel Park Race 9 - Race 9 - Starter Optional Claiming
SERENE SPIRIT (7) brings the best recent benchmark, coming off a 2nd at Laurel over 1106m in Claiming 77 when handy throughout, and looks suited back to this SOC. SALTY ONE (1) is a last-start Laurel winner over 1106m in Maiden Claiming 55, stalking then finishing off to score by 0.3L, and draws the rail. DISNEY BELLE (4) was 3rd here over 1106m two back in Claiming 67 and can improve sharply dropping back in trip. MIDNIGHT QUEEN (3) resumes; won on debut at Colonial Downs over 1006m before tackling stronger and fading here, so a fresh sprint suits.
