Laurel Park Race 2 - Race 2 - Starter Optional Claiming

PARTY WITH SMARTY (2) was thereabouts last time out when second at this track (Dirt) over 1609m, beaten a nose. Top chance. RHYTHM 'N BLUES (1) resumes in a similar race to his last run four-and-a-half months ago when fourth, beaten 13 lengths. Capable of playing a major role. LANNISTER (5) is racing well, scoring by 6 lengths two back at this track (Dirt) then finishing a respectable fourth last time over 1106m at Laurel Turf (Turf) when not too far away. Should be poised just off the lead. Will give backers a great sight. TAVERN TIME (3) made it four minor placings in a row last start when third over 1408m at Parx (Dirt). Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time.

Recent form sound. Last start 4th of 10 at Laurel Turf on April 12 over 1106m, 1.3 len behind Contemplation with 56kg at $25.60. The run before that came from midfield and scored a big 6 len win at this track March 28 over 1207m defeating Regency Tale carrying 57kg at $1.20. Big chance after a respectable effort last time out.
