Laurel Park Race 1 - Race 1 - Claiming
TRIATHELON (1) has put together back-to-back placings after scoring three back at Laurel (Dirt), most recently beaten 2 lengths into third over 1609m at this track (Turf) when he was prominent throughout. Beautifully placed and is sure to prove tough to beat. DERZ SMART (4) has been out of the placings in two runs since a break, the latest when fifth, beaten 5 lengths, over 1609m at this track (Turf). Should be peaking now and will be tough to beat. BETTER WATCH IT (8) didn't make an impact at his last run before going for a spell on November 16, finishing fifth and beaten 9 lengths over 1710m at this track (Turf). One to consider. MAJESTIC BLUE (11) settled well back and never threatened when tenth over 1106m at this track (Turf) last time out. Nicely placed to bounce back. Something for the Multiples: FAIRFIELD BAY (13)
