Laurel Park Race 6 - Race 6 - Starter Optional Claiming
MASEN (4) finished 2.75 lengths away in fifth last time out over 1106m at this track after being in contention on the corner two weeks ago. Tackles a longer journey this time. The one to beat in this line up. THE LAST SCIP (8) is back after a break of six months. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings over 1710m at Pimlico. Expect him to play a major role. CUT THE CORD (14) drifted well back and failed to finish it off last start when sixth, beaten 9 lengths, over 1811m at Laurel (Dirt). Has the class to figure prominently. BAR FOURTEEN (13) missed the placings two runs back then didn't do any better last start when 13 lengths away in seventh over 1408m at Aqueduct. Best efforts measure up so worth another chance.

Third-up today and won third-up in the past. First-up ran on from midfield and won by 1.0 len at Turfway Park March 20 over 1308m defeating Ready To Roll with 54.5kg at $2.54. Second-up 5th of 12 at this track on April 24 over 1106m, 2.75 len behind Bushido carrying 56kg at $19.10. Fitter and should appreciate the step up to 1609m.

Gelding returning from a spell and has won previously when first up. Finished off last campaign fifth of 12 at this track November 1 over 1710m, 2.25 len behind Bar Fourteen carrying 56kg at $17.90. Previous preparation first-up to post a big 3.5 len win. Presque Isle Downs June 4 over 1609m defeating Bartulia carrying 56kg at $1.60. Form shown last campaign makes for good reading.
