Laurel Park Race 4 - Race 4 - Allowance Optional Claiming
STRONG SUSPICION (5) recorded a gutsy maiden victory last time out over 1207m at Listed level at Delaware Park (Dirt), scoring by a nose. Is lightly raced and has plenty of scope for improvement. Shaping up nicely and he is a leading contender. GOOD LOOKERNESS (1) finished 9 lengths away in sixth last time out over 1207m at Delaware Park four weeks ago. Steps up in journey today. Solid winning chance. REMEMBERTHEWORD (2) is a talented gelding who was well held last time in tougher grade over 1106m in stakes class at Colonial Downs Turf (Turf). Has good early toe so he should be handy in the run. Should be involved in the finish. BARU (6) broke his maiden last start over 1710m at this track (Dirt), scoring by 2.75 lengths. Harder here but should be involved in the finish.

Most recently 8th of 10 in Listed grade at Delaware Park at Delaware Park on September 11 over 1207m, 12 len behind Strong Suspicion carrying 53.5kg at $50.30. The run before that raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by a 0.3 len at Delaware Park on August 14 over 1207m defeating Soul Band with 54.5kg at $4.30. This looks too tough.

Lining up for just third start. When well in the market at debut, ran second last in a small field at Delaware Park on July 31 over 1106m, 11 len behind Snowhomish carrying 54.5kg at $4.30. Last start scored a big 6 len win at Timonium on August 29 over 1308m defeating Uniqueness with 54.5kg at $1.50. Cannot make a case.
