Verdict
Baby Boy has had three runs at Laurel Park but was still beaten 19 lengths when second there last time so has a bit to prove, even at this modest level. RIVER FLYINRED RVF had more than three lengths to spare over Brilliant Bolt when fourth here two weeks ago with Mad Miner even further behind. He’s only had two runs so there may be more to come and he’s preferred to Village Prince, disappointing over a mile last time having placed over shorter distances in his three previous outings.
