Laurel Park Race 1 - Race 1 - Starter Optional Claiming
FOCUSYN (1) is having his first run since November 30. Goes well when fresh with a win and two placings from four starts. Expected to go very well. ROBERT'S MOON (2) went forward and proved too strong last time out, scoring by 5 lengths over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Well placed and there is no reason he cannot salute. FIRMANTOWN (6) showed good early speed and raced on the pace last start before fading to finish fifth, beaten 4.5 lengths, over 1207m at this track (Dirt). One of the main contenders. BRINDANO (3) was a real eye-catcher last start, coming from the tail over 1207m at this track (Dirt) to finish 0.8 lengths from the winner in second. Comes here in the right frame of mind so he can figure in the finish again.

The start before that tracked the speed and boxed on steadily second last of 7 at this track on January 10 over 1710m, 9 len behind Chance with 57kg at $21.20. Definite winning chance. Keep safe.
