Laurel Park Race 1 - Race 1 - Starter Optional Claiming
CHANCE (4) returned to winning form last start, scoring by 5 lengths over this journey at Parx (Dirt). Has a sound record at this journey with a win and one minor placing. Can go on with it. STRAIGHT TO WATER (2) was safely held when second last time out over 1609m at this track, beaten 6 lengths after being in contention on the turn. That followed a win at this track at the previous outing. Is unbeaten in two starts at this course and distance. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot make amends. EL TINMARIN (1) improved sharply on his fourth two starts back at Parx (Dirt) with success as favourite over 1106m at this track (Turf) two-and-a-half weeks ago, getting home by 0.8 lengths. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat again in this suitable race. SCHRADER (7) ran below expectations last start, finishing fifth and beaten 9 lengths at this track (Dirt) over 1207m. Finds a nice race and can make amends. Something for the Multiples: SHADOW SURGE (8)
