Laurel Park Race 2 - Race 2 - Claiming
ALVY (2) returned from a spell five weeks ago when he was beaten 11 lengths into sixth over 1609m at this track. Enjoys a drop in grade so he can make amends. AZTEC (1) proved too strong two runs ago at Timonium. Couldn't follow that up last time out when fourth over 1609m at this track, beaten 5.5 lengths. Has the talent to produce another win. ARTILLERY GUNNAR (7) finished 10 lengths away in fourth last time out over 1207m at this track after being in the firing line on the corner a week-and-a-half ago. Steps up in distance today. Should camp just off the leaders. Should be involved in the finish. RAPIDITY (3) showed good early speed and led throughout to score by one length last start over 1710m at this track (Dirt). Expected to feature.

Returns from a 30-day let-up. Last start ran second last of 7 at Meadowlands on October 9 over 1710m, 7 len behind Pretorian Gold with 56.5kg at $10.80. Before that ran second last of 7 at this track on September 26 over 1609m, 16 len behind Mugatu carrying 51kg at $20.20. Doesn't look good enough to threaten the top few.
