Laurel Park Race 8 - Selima S. Stakes
HOMEAWAYFROMHOME (9) Really dug deep when winning by a nose last time at Ellis Park but challenged by more formidable competitors. Displays good tactical speed. Can measure up to this company. HIDDEN OVERTURE (6) Won with a leg in the air by almost 14L last run at Delaware Park and fitter for debut run. Has shown early pace in races to date. Winnable race. MAYBE GOLD (5) Reeled them in when winning last start at Colonial Downs and having second career run. Jockey Emmanuel Esquivel and trainer Jr Jorge Duarte are a strong combination. Genuine winning chance. SEA ISLE CITY (2) Ran on hard when winning last time at Kentucky Downs and can find a nice position from the draw. Performing honestly this preparation and solid career start. Should be competitive in this race at a bit of odds.

Dictated the tempo when winning by a margin of 1 3/4L last start at Monmouth Park and has a nice advantage with a good barrier. Likely to be an exotics contender.

Tidy effort when 2nd last run at Colonial Downs and facing an increased distance. In fine form since coming back from a spell. Hard to entertain.

Assumed control from the start when winning by 3L last run at Colonial Downs and was a debutant last start. Should race on the speed. Testing ability against stronger contenders. Watch the betting.

Narrowly clinched the victory last time at Ellis Park but racing against tougher rivals. Likely to be well placed early. Been in the money 2 from 2 attempts this preparation. Competitive type.

Strong effort to the line to win last start at Colonial Downs and rising in distance. Jorge Ruiz has a good track record with the Keri Brion stable. Could feature here.
