Laurel Park Race 10 - Race 10 - Claiming
LIFTING (7) drifted well back last start then came with a powerful run to finish 5 lengths from the winner in second when resuming over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Look for another barnstorming finish. CHRISTMAS SPIRIT (3) travelled in a rearwards position and was disappointing over 1609m at this track (Dirt) last time out when in the market. That followed a good second the run before. Beautifully placed and is sure to play a major role. EDELWEISS (5) has returned in good order this campaign. Ran well but found one better last time over 1609m at this track (Dirt) after registering his maiden win first-up the run before. Should park just off the speed. One of the main contenders. TACTICS (1) finished fourth last time out over 1609m at this track, beaten 9 lengths. Everything points to a big run.

Recent form sound. Comes here off a 35-day let-up. Most recently came home strongly from last on the turn; 4th of 7 at this track on March 28 over 1609m, 9 len behind Sticktothesystem carrying 55kg at $2.50. The race before that 2nd in a small field at this track on March 6 over 1710m, 1.3 len behind Boss Mode carrying 55kg at $1.80. Better than that recent ordinary performance suggests.
