Laurel Park Race 1 - Race 1 - Starter Optional Claiming
AZTEC (7) won last start over 1408m at this track (Dirt), making it two victories from four appearances this time in. Good record at this journey with two wins and seven minor placings from 12 starts and shapes as a key contender. JOLLY BY GOLLY (6) was thereabouts last time out when fourth over 1408m at this track (Dirt) after he was always up in the leading division. Won't be bothered by this longer journey. Right in the mix. ARROW SPEED (3) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 6 lengths when fourth over 1609m at this track two months ago. Finds the right race this time and can turn things around. HOLY SYNCHRONICITY (4) was beaten 4.5 lengths into fifth over 1408m at this track four weeks ago. Best efforts measure up so worth another chance.
