Round Two of 1/ST Technology‘s “Bet $100/Get $20” promotion at Laurel Park will head to the starting gate this Friday, March 8. All bet types are covered in the month-long promotion, so settle into your comfort zone and take a run at building your bankroll. Here’s my selections, spanning the nine-race card that begins at 12:25 EST:

LRL Race 2 (12:55 p.m. EST) -- IRISH LACE, a $72k earner last year, earned the top speed figure of her career when second last out at 7F. She made a 3-wide run at the dueling leaders, was bumped by morning-line favorite THUNDER BUGGY in mid-stretch and regrouped to finish a clear second after the favorite passed by both of them. She has two photo-finish victories at today’s distance to summon and is worth a leadoff wager.

$15 win and place on #3 IRISH LACE

LRL Race 3 (1:25 EST) -- PERSPICACIOUS BOY, claimed for $10k out of a debut race won by an odds-on MSW dropper, raced close-up for 6F in a pair of higher-tagged route races before fading. He shows a pair of fast workouts for his return from a five-month layoff and should sit an ideal stalking trip at 7F behind speedy WHERE’S RAY, who could have distance limitations.

$30 win on #7 PERSPICACIOUS BOY

LRL Race 4 (1:44 p.m. EST) -- Going to build some gimmick wagers around longshot WORKIN ON A DREAM, who got first run on a lead duo that back-pedaled to the back of the field, led at the 1/8th pole and held third behind the deep-closing top pair. The upset winner validated that effort with a runner-up finish next-out for a higher claiming price. He ran an even fourth in his only start sprinting in the last three years, that coming off a six-month layoff. Longshot ONE MORE FACTOR will also appear on the tickets. He has good speed and gets in light-weighted after hitting his best stride in two-turn sprints at Charles Town.
