Laurel Park Race 5 - Race 5 - Starter Optional Claiming
EL DE LARRY (6) missed the frame two back on turf over 1710m at Colonial Downs Inner Turf but improved sharply on the dirt last time, scoring over 1609m at Laurel. Right at home on turf - in form and happy to stick. DRILLING FOR GOLD (3) has not appeared since he finished eighth over 1609m at Colonial Downs Inner Turf (Turf) on August 13. Has ability and should be right in the finish. SOUPER CRUNCHY (4) showed good early muster and fought on to finish third last start over 1710m at Meadowlands (Turf). Should settle handy in the run. Finds a tougher race but this looks well within his grasp. CLAUDEE BOY (7) is experiencing a long win drought, extended last start when ninth over 1106m at this track (Turf) after he was well back on straightening. Placed to advantage so expect a bold run.

Racing well recently. Comes here off a 35-day let-up. Last start 3rd of 7 at Meadowlands on September 25 over 1710m, 2 len behind Bean Machine carrying 56.5kg at $1.90. The start before that favourite; tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by a 0.3 len at Delaware Park Turf on September 10 over 1811m defeating Bolt From Above with 55.5kg at $2. Draws a nice alley and rates highly.

At the latest run 3rd of 11 at Delaware Park Turf on October 9 over 1609m, 2.25 len behind Bolt From Above carrying 55.5kg at $45.40. The race before that sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 5th of 8 at Penn National Turf on September 4 over 1609m, on a slow track; 4 len behind Roxton carrying 55kg at $9.50. Genuine hope on best form.

Most recently ran second last in a small field at Laurel on October 4 over 1609m, 9 len behind El De Larry with 56kg at $3.30. The start before that tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 12 at Delaware Park Turf on September 12 over 1710m, 0.5 len behind Take Me To Church with 55.5kg at $4.80. Cannot be ruled out despite a lacklustre effort last time.
