Laurel Park Race 1 - Race 1 - Maiden Claiming
PLAY IT COOL (3) finished 22 lengths adrift in sixth when resuming from a break and having his first look at a dirt track last start over today's course and distance. Likely improver and is worth following up. MEZZO SOPRANO (1) was lining up for just the second time last start when second over 1609m at this track, beaten 0.8 lengths. Backmarker who keeps coming. Top chance this line-up. BIGSHOT NESS (2) is on debut. By Uncle Lino and is out of the Jamie Ness stable. Any push in betting should be respected. TIZ THE GREAT (5) turned in a decent effort last start to finish third over 1609m at this track. Looks to be in the right race so another bold effort is on the cards.

Form hard to fault. Most recently 2nd in a small field at this track on January 23 over 1609m, 7 len behind No More Calls with 56kg at $5.60. The start before that 4th in a small field at this track on December 13 over 1609m, 7 len behind Lino's Fire with 55.5kg at $13.80. Rates highly and is among the main hopes.

At the latest run 4th in a small field at this track on January 23 over 1609m, 12 len behind No More Calls with 56kg at $4.90. The run before that second last in a small field at this track on December 13 over 1609m, 8 len behind Lino's Fire carrying 55.5kg at $10.90. Likely to run around at long odds and deservedly so.
