Laurel Park Race 2 - Race 2 - Starter Optional Claiming
STRESS RELIEVER (1) was well in the market but disappointed backers last time when 9 lengths from the winner in seventh over 1609m at this track (Dirt). Last run worth forgiving; can atone. BLO BY THE FIELD (2) recorded another minor placing last time out, finishing 1.5 lengths away in third over 1609m at this track (Dirt) when she was prominent throughout. Looks well placed so expect another big run. A COZY THING (4) gave a bold display over this course and distance last start, racing on the speed and boxing on well to finish second and beaten half a length. Taking on a better field but she is capable of running another bold race. LORD'S LADY (3) raced on the speed when resuming last start and battled on well but found one better over 1609m at this track (Dirt). Has managed three minor placings from four runs at this circuit. Cannot be underestimated.
