Laurel Park Race 5 - Race 5 - Allowance Optional Claiming

HAGRID'S FLAME (4) found one marginally better last start over 1811m at this track (Dirt) after being prominent throughout. Looks well placed so expect another bold performance. CAP COM (2) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start when he settled well back over 1811m at this track, beaten 8 lengths into seventh. Yet to miss the placings in five starts over this course and distance. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. TAKE THE PLEDGE (1) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1811m at this track, beaten 5 lengths. Has a perfect second up record from three starts including last prep when successful over 1673m at Penn National. Nicely placed to take this out. SECRET ZIPPER (3) was never in contention when resuming last start over 1710m at this track (Dirt), finishing sixth and beaten 22 lengths. This is his optimum trip with four wins from seven starts and should be in the finish.

Second run back. First-up after nine months ran on strongly from last on the turn; 4th of 7 at this track on March 1 over 1811m, 5 len behind Xcellent Start with 56kg at $8.30. Previously second-up won by 0.5 len at Penn National March 20 over 1673m defeating Runandscore with 55kg at $2.10. Expecting improvement and is among the better chances.
