Laurel Park Race 4 - Race 4 - Claiming
BLO BY'EM (5) turned in a decent effort last start to finish third over 1207m at this track. Nicely placed to give this a mighty shake. D HOPPER (1) has been thereabouts lately without being able to break through, the latest effort a third at Charles Town (Dirt) over 905m. Should camp just off the leaders. Expecting a bold showing. WHO SAYS SO (4) started at $5.50 last time and ran below expectations, finishing fifth and beaten 7 lengths at this track (Dirt) over 1207m. Nicely placed to turn things around. ELLINGER (6) is experiencing a long win drought, extended last start when fourth over 1207m at this track (Dirt) after being in contention on the bend. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot return to winning ways.

Form hard to fault. At the latest run 3rd of 8 at Charles Town on February 28 over 905m, 4 len behind Pops Harper carrying 56kg at $2.30. The race before that held ground to the line 2nd of 7 at this track on February 4 over 1207m, 1.5 len behind Ecumenical with 55.5kg at $21.20. Plenty to like about his prospects.

Most recently second last in a small field at this track on February 22 over 1609m, 9 len behind Albert Finnigan with 55.5kg at $27.80. The start before that ran last of 7 at this track on February 4 over 1207m, 13 len behind Ecumenical with 51kg at $13.80. Better than that recent lacklustre performance suggests.

Comes off a 37 day let-up. At the latest run 5th of 7 at this track on February 4 over 1207m, 7 len behind Ecumenical carrying 57kg at $5.50. The race before that sat on speed throughout when 3rd of 7 at this track on December 21 over 1408m, 6 len behind Artist Mark carrying 54.5kg at $3.20. Worth another chance.
