Laurel Park Race 2

Maiden Claiming

Prize Money: $42,796

EL PAPACITO (4) made progress last time out, finishing 4.5 lengths from the winner in third at the end of 1106m at this track after being in contention on the turn. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. LAYSEN (3) stepped out on his debut over 1207m at Aqueduct (Dirt) six-and-a-half weeks ago and finished fourth, beaten 23 lengths. Expected to be in the finish with the addition of blinkers. U CROCS (1) is a three-year-old colt on debut from the stable of A Pecoraro. By Cupid from Enhancement. Watch for a betting push. SWEET SPY (2) drifted back on debut last start and failed to come on, finishing eighth over 1408m at this track (Dirt). Will take a lot from that hitout and should do much better.
