Laurel Park Race 1 - Race 1 - Starter Optional Claiming
TUFF LUCK (6) just missed last time when 0.3 lengths away in second at this track (Dirt) over 1710m. Great chance to score. MUGATU (2) drifted well back last start before winding up strongly to finish third, beaten 14 lengths, over 1609m at this track (Dirt). Has a decent record at this track with five minor placings from six runs. Bold showing expected. SUMMER VIBES (5) showed little early speed last start then came with a powerful run to finish second over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Solid top-three hope. ARMED N DANGEROUS (1) finished fifth over 1811m at Colonial Downs (Dirt) at his most recent appearance on July 23. Has to be respected.

Last start favourite; ran on from midfield and scored a big 5.5 len win at this track February 5 over 1710m defeating Maupansant with 57kg at $1.80. Before that 2nd of 9 at this track on January 9 over 1609m, 1.75 len behind Twice Gold with 57kg at $2.40. Happy enough to dismiss in this field.
