Laurel Park Race 1 - Race 1 - Claiming
LOU'S BIRTHDAY (4) doesn't boast the best winning strike rate but ran a nice race last time out, finishing second and beaten only 1.3 lengths over 1106m at this track (Dirt) after being prominent at the turn. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. ONE TRUE DUDE (5) was in great form at the end of the last campaign with back-to-back wins, the latest over 1408m at Charles Town seven months ago. Among the leading chances. PARALEGAL (1) hasn't been able to break through for an extended period, the latest effort a fourth over 1207m at this track (Dirt) after being in the firing line on the turn. Has the ability to take care of this field. ECUMENICAL (9) proved too strong two runs ago but was not as effective last time out when third over 1106m at this track, beaten 3 lengths. In the mix.

Recent form sound. At the latest run 2nd in a small field at this track on March 1 over 1106m, 1.3 len behind Artist Mark carrying 55.5kg at $2.30. The start before that sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 3rd of 7 at this track on February 15 over 1207m, 3 len behind Candycrumbs carrying 55.5kg at $4.60. Nice effort last time so worth following up.

Form hard to fault. Most recently 3rd of 7 at this track on February 28 over 1609m, 0.8 len behind Hawkstone carrying 57kg at $4.40. The run before that 3rd in a small field at this track on February 12 over 1710m, 15 len behind Amazing Bernie carrying 57kg at $24.20. Thereabouts last time out. Definite top-three prospect.
