Laurel Park Race 4 - Race 4 - Starter Optional Claiming

DO IT FOR MICHAEL (1) is back after a break of eight months. Started the last campaign impressively when in the placings over 1207m at this track. Looks a winning chance. DAUFUSKIE ISLAND (7) showed good early dash and raced on the speed last start before fading to finish 4 lengths back in fifth over 1207m at Colonial Downs (Dirt). Will take some beating. ARTILLERY GUNNAR (8) drifted well back and failed to finish it off last start when fourth, beaten 5.5 lengths, over 805m at Timonium (Dirt). Perfectly placed and is sure to play a pivotal role. WITHOUT PRETENCE (4) turned in a nice effort to score two runs ago but couldn't follow that up last time out when sixth over 1207m at Finger Lakes, beaten 3 lengths. Should be thereabouts.
