Laurel Park Race 4

Howard And Sondra Bender Memorial S. Stakes

Stake: $127,118

CELTIC CONTENDER (3) Finished 2nd last time around here. Should jump out and bowl along. Tracking very well this preparation. Victor R Carrasco does know the horse very well. Should go close. WITTY (7) Crept into 4th last run Parx At Philadelphia. Should get going late. Jockey Jaime Rodriguez is a strong choice aboard. Performing impressively since returning from a break. Can measure up to this company. BRILLIANT ICE (2) Not up to scratch when 4th last start here but will try to take advantage of the alley. Will be down in distance. A win wouldn't surprise. SEVEN'S ELEVEN (5) Couldn't stay in touch when 4th last time at this track. May see an upturn in form and solid performer at this trip in the past. One of the hopes.
