Laurel Park Race 9 - Weather Vane S. Stakes
SLEWPERSTITUS (6) Strong effort to run into 2nd last time at Colonial Downs but facing a stronger group of contenders. Been in the money 5 from 5 attempts this preparation. Has the ability to figure. EMBRACE THE MOMENT (8) Made all when winning by a margin of 4 3/4L last run at Timonium and strong performer at this trip. Should jump out and bowl along. Going well this campaign. Should be competitive in this race at a bit of odds. FRENCH FRICTION (1) Solid run on the pace before weakening to finish 2nd beaten by 1 1/4L last run at Ellis Park and promising career start. Should muster plenty of early speed. Must respect. FOR THE LADIES (5) Reeled them in to win last time at Timonium and competing in a less challenging grade. Unbeaten last 3 runs but goes up in weight. Should be going forward early. Worth a ticket.

First up after 13 weeks and picked up nicely to win first up last preparation at Gulfstream Park. Jockey Angel Cruz usually performs well for this stable. Likely to be an exotics contender.

Could build on a strong first up record. At $9.50 moved through the field into 4th last start at Saratoga but competing in a higher grade. Respect the betting.

Set the tempo when winning by 4 3/4L last run at Timonium and will be well suited at the distance. Will be pushing for a forward position early. Definite winning chance.
