Laurel Park Race 8 - Race 8 - Allowance Optional Claiming
J D FACTOR (5) raced on the speed from the outset last start and finished second, beaten 5 lengths, over 1609m at this track (Dirt). Hard to beat in this suitable race. PAY BILLY (6) finished third behind Post Time at Listed level at this track (Dirt) over this distance at his latest outing. Has a very good record here including four wins from eight starts. Well placed and should be in the finish. FEELING WOOZY (4) proved too strong two runs ago at this track. Couldn't follow that up last time out when third over 1609m at Aqueduct, beaten 13 lengths after being prominent at the turn. Nicely placed to give this a mighty shake. LE GRIS (1) won at this track and distance at his last outing ten weeks ago. Looks one of the genuine hopes in the race.

Is first-up after a break of ten weeks and has been in the money when fresh before. Finished off last campaign post a big 9 len win. This track November 30 over 1710m defeating Omaha Omaha carrying 56kg at $2.40. When resuming last campaign fifth of 10 at Saratoga July 12 over 1811m, 16 len behind Malarchuk carrying 56kg at $21.90. Likely to be up for this.

Back from a spell. Only had one start last preparation second last in a small field at this track in LR on November 22 over 1811m, 14 len behind Barbadian Runner with 54.5kg at $7.20. First up last campaign 5th of 7 at Timonium on August 24 over 1609m, 5.5 len behind Play It Loud carrying 52kg at $6.90. Can run a good race despite the gap between runs.

Recent form sound. Last start 3rd in a small field at Aqueduct on January 15 over 1609m, 13 len behind Ridgewood Runner carrying 56kg at $7.93. Before that ran on from midfield and scored a big 11 len win at this track December 12 over 1710m defeating Tops The Chart with 56kg at $3.90. Genuine contender.

Racing well recently. Comes here off a 39-day let-up. At the latest run 2nd in a small field at this track on December 28 over 1609m, 5 len behind Raise Cain with 55kg at $1.70. The race before that won by 1.3 len at Parx November 25 over 1710m defeating Duke Of Gloucester with 55.5kg at $3.80. Ideally placed to play a significant role.
