Laurel Park Race 4

Claiming

Stake: -

BAD BOY BUTCH (4) Won easily by just over 9L last start at Delaware Park but up against stronger rivals. Very competitive this campaign. Paco Lopez is a crucial engagement. Worth consideration. RED SPITFIRE (2) Couldn't maintain the pace when 4th last run here. Happy to overlook that run and has a positive draw. Should muster plenty of early speed. Testing ability against stronger contenders. Respect in this event. EDELWEISS (5) Solid run on the pace before weakening to finish 3rd beaten by more than 10L last run around here but matched against tougher rivals. Must respect in this event. MAUPANSANT (3) Unimpressive effort when 4th last time at the track and taking on stronger competition. Has run into the money on multiple occasions this campaign. Open to improvement and is a strong chance again.
