Laurel Park Race 8 - Race 8 - Allowance Optional Claiming
HAILEYSFIRSTNOTION (1) returns from a break of six-and-a-half months. Consistent performer last prep whose most recent appearance resulted in a third over 1207m at this track. Expected to bring the good form from last campaign to this contest. HOWGREATISNATE (4) turned in a strong run over this course and distance last time, settling well back then unleashing in the straight to get up for third. Goes very well at this journey, boasting four wins from eight starts and is among the leading chances. INTREPID'S LEGACY (5) scored over 1207m at this track (Dirt) at his most recent appearance on February 21. Worth plenty of thought. NO EASY DAYS (2) started at $5.90 last time but could only manage fourth, beaten 2.5 lengths, at this track over 1207m. Worth considering.

Recent form sound. Comes off a 47 day let-up. Most recently 4th of 7 at this track on March 15 over 1207m, 2.5 len behind Bump N Run with 57kg at $5.90. The run before that tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by 2.75 len at Parx February 11 over 1308m defeating Factor U And Me In carrying 55.5kg at $5.80. Small field and is not to be underestimated.

Winning hope in a suitable contest.
