Laurel Park Race 14 - Race 14 - Allowance Optional Claiming
TARTABULL (3) lines up on the back of a 4 length fourth over 1710m at Turfway Park. This looks an ideal assignment. BALA DE PLATA (7) started at $6.50 last time and ran below expectations, finishing fifth and beaten 14 lengths at Parx (Dirt) over 1308m. Yet to miss the placings from four starts at this circuit. Best figures measure up nicely. Sure to run well. STREET PARTY (2) has switched yards since scoring by half a length at Keeneland over 1710m on April 18. Has ability and makes plenty of appeal. CLOSE THE GATE (6) missed the frame last time when eighth at this track. Prior to that had been in the money on three consecutive occasions. Generally goes well here. Must be respected.

Comes off a 51 day let-up. At the latest run 5th of 7 at Parx on March 25 over 1308m, 14 len behind Shane's Wonder with 52kg at $6.50. The run before that 2nd in a small field at this track on March 6 over 1609m, 6 len behind Hixon with 54kg at $1.50. Worth another chance.
