Laurel Park Race 5 - Race 5 - Mdn Claiming
CHIMNEY SWEEP (3) showed good early muster and fought on to finish third when resuming last start over 1106m at this track (Turf). Drawn to enjoy a good run on the speed. Faces an easier assignment so he is all set to build on that latest effort. J C'S BOYS (11) turned in a sound effort last time but found one better at Laurel (Dirt) over 1207m, beaten 1.3 lengths. Should be at his peak now. Sure to go well. NOTION IN MOTION (8) resumes from a spell of six-and-a-half months. Could only manage to finish eighth at the latest run over 1207m at Laurel (Dirt). Leading player on best figures - bold showing expected. FREE COSTS TO MUCH (7) finished 6 lengths away in seventh at his last appearance over 1106m at this track (Turf) on May 1. Cannot be ruled out in this suitable assignment.

Second run back. First-up after seven months crossed from a wide gate to lead but couldn't hold on when 3rd of 14 at this track on May 15 over 1106m, 2.75 len behind Golden Descent with 57kg at $9.80. Previously second-up 3rd in a small field at Laurel on June 20 over 1106m, 12 len behind Suremeanttoobe with 54kg at $16. Even fitter and is an excellent winning chance.

Comes off a 44 day let-up. Most recently 7th of 11 at this track on May 1 over 1106m, 6 len behind Let Fly carrying 57kg at $47. The start before that ran last in a small field at Laurel on March 28 over 1207m, 34 len behind Lannister carrying 57kg at $37.10. Capable of more – worth another chance.
