Laurel Park Race 8 - Miss Preakness S. Stakes
LITTLE MISS CURLIN (1) sets the standard after a dominant 2.8L win at Oaklawn Park over 1207m last start and boasts 4 wins from 5 at the trip. PEACH TIE (2) profiles as the main danger back to 1207m, having gone down a head in a Laurel Park stakes over 1609m and already a 3-time winner here. TESSELLATE (5) brings strong stakes form, resuming winning ways by 4.8L over 1408m at Tampa Bay and was a stakes winner at 1308m last season. LIGHTS OUT LENI (3) was a sharp all-the-way debut winner at Aqueduct over 1308m and could measure up. GETTING CLOSER (4) comes off a 1207m maiden win and faces a steep rise in grade.
