Laurel Park Race 3 - Race 3 - Mdn Claiming
ORATOR (1) is yet to break through in eight runs. Finished sixth at his last appearance over 1811m at this track (Turf) on May 30. Among the top chances in what looks a most suitable race. SHAKIN MY HEAD (8) is yet to break through in nine runs but has been thereabouts. Last start was 6 lengths away in fifth over 1710m at this track (Turf). Must respect the stable decision to remove the blinkers. Major player. PAID VACATION (4) is a 10-start maiden who has been in the money at his last couple of runs, the latest when second over 1710m at this track (Turf). Sure to be right in this. TASKER (3) finished second last time out when resuming over 1710m at this track (Turf), making it two career minor placings. Has a solid record here with two top-three finishes to his name. Among the chances.

Form hard to fault. Last start 2nd of 9 at this track on May 31 over 1710m, 0.5 len behind Golf Cart Ryder with 53.5kg at $13.40. The start before that 3rd of 9 at this track on May 10 over 1710m, 1.75 len behind Vaya Jeffe carrying 53.5kg at $10.50. Doesn't need to improve much to salute.
