Laurel Park Race 3 - Race 3 - Starter Optional Claiming
GOLDEN EIB MICRPHN (2) was safely held when second last time out over 1609m at this track, beaten 5.5 lengths after being in the firing line on the bend. That followed a win at this track at the previous outing. Well placed and there is no reason she cannot make amends. ATLAS STRONG (6) is in winning form after scoring as favourite last time out by 0.8 lengths over 1609m at this track (Dirt). Has a decent record at this track with two wins and two minor placings from seven starts. Among the leading chances. GINGER GIRL (5) returned from a spell three weeks ago when she was beaten 16 lengths into sixth over 1609m at this track. Fitter this time. Hard to beat in this suitable race. SKIP THRU DA FIRE (4) has been in the money at her last couple of runs, the latest when third over 1106m at this track (Dirt). Must be included in calculations.
