Laurel Park Race 8 - Race 8 - Allowance Optional Claiming
MAKING DAISYS (5) accounted for a maiden field over 1609m at Colonial Downs (Dirt) last start when fresh from a break. Is lightly raced and has plenty of scope for improvement. Sheldon Russell was in the saddle on that occasion and retains the ride. Capable of making it two on the trot. NOTHINGLESSWILLDO (3) was a winner on dirt over 1609m at this track two back but missed the frame on turf over 1609m at Laurel Turf last time. Yet to miss the top three here in five starts. Should run well. TACIT VALUE (1) settled well back then picked up fairly well in the straight and finished 8 lengths away in fourth last time out over 1207m at this track six weeks ago. Tackles a longer journey this time. Should be poised just off the lead. One of the main contenders. DIAMOND N DRESS (2) had been in great form winning two on end before missing the frame last time when seventh over 1710m at Listed level at this track (Dirt). Should camp just off the leaders. Solid claims on best form.

Last start second last of 8 at this track in LR on April 18 over 1710m, 21 len behind Ivy Girl with 53.5kg at $57.20. The run before that won by 1.75 len at this track April 3 over 1710m defeating Ixchel carrying 52.5kg at $2.60. Can do a lot better than that last run.

Second run back. First-up after two months second last in a small field at this track on April 25 over 1207m, 10 len behind Rerun Table with 55kg at $7.80. Previously second-up came from midfield and won by 5.5 len at this track January 10 over 1609m defeating Miss Fulton Gal with 55kg at $7.20. Needs to lift.
