Laurel Park Race 2 - Race 2 - Starter Optional Claiming
BRINDANO (1) is building towards a win with placings at his last two runs, the latest effort a second over 1207m at this track (Dirt) when beaten 4 lengths. Today might be his day. BRIGHTY (4) has been in the money at his last couple of runs, the latest when second over 1673m at Penn National (Dirt). Has good early toe so he should be handy in the run. Will prove tough to beat. PARTY WITH SMARTY (3) has been in good form, scoring three back at Aqueduct (Dirt) then placing twice in a row, most recently finishing second when he was handy all the way over 1609m at this track (Dirt). Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. TELL 'EM I'M COMIN (2) turned in a modest performance when fourth last time out over 1609m at this track, beaten 14 lengths, after a win at this track at the previous outing. Worth another chance.
