Laurel Park Race 4 - Smart Halo S. Stakes
PIGGYBUNZ (2) Was much too speedy in front to win by 5 1/4L last start at Colonial Downs and having second career run. Sheldon Russell consistently performs well for this stable. Will give a big sight. BELLA BLAZE (6) Was eating up the ground late when winning last time at Colonial Downs and fitter for debut run. Likely to be well placed early. Matched against a stronger field. Hard to dismiss. WELOVEMOLLYNTEDDY (5) Made every post a winner to win by just short of 16L last run Parx At Philadelphia and having second race start. Should muster plenty of early speed. Massive hope. TALKING FOOLISH (8) Displayed a good turn of foot when winning last run at Colonial Downs but competing in a more challenging grade. Has run into the placings all attempts this campaign. Hard to overlook.

Controlled the pace when winning by a margin of 5 1/4L last start at Colonial Downs and was a debutant last start. Drawn nicely. Facing a stronger group of contenders. Very capable of taking this out.

Was eating up the ground late when winning last run at Colonial Downs but testing ability against stronger contenders. Amongst the placegetters at every start this campaign. Absolutely right in this.
