Laurel Park Race 9 - Race 9 - Mdn Claiming
PIG TRAIL (3) Amongst the placegetters when 3rd last time at Timonium and was on debut last time. Wesley Ho and Justin J Nixon work well together. Should race on the speed. Top prospects against this opposition. SPEED FOCUSED (7) Tidy effort when 3rd last time at Timonium. Won't be far away. NOVA KNICKS (2) Overtook some late when 4th last run at Colonial Downs and fitter for debut run. Gets a favourable draw. Racing over a longer distance. Worth a ticket. BERTIEBERTBERT (4) Was ordinary when 8th last start at Colonial Downs but was on debut last time. Jaime Rodriguez and Jamie Ness are an imposing duo. Facing a rise in trip. Will be competitive.

In the money when 3rd last time at Timonium and fitter for debut run. Jockey Wesley Ho and trainer Justin J Nixon are usually competitive when they team up. Will attract plenty of interest.

Odds of $14.00 and just average when 8th last start at Colonial Downs but fitter for debut run. Jockey Jaime Rodriguez and trainer Jamie Ness work well together. Definite contender.
