Laurel Park Race 8 - Race 8 - Allowance Optional Claiming
WORKER BEE (7) showed good early muster and fought on to finish second last start over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. OUR DAY WILL COME (2) continued a hot streak of form, winning over 1207m at this track (Dirt) last start to make it three straight. Same winning combination as last time and can measure up again. OUR NOTION (3) showed little early speed then came with a powerful run to finish third last time out over 1609m at Aqueduct (Dirt). Solid top-three prospects. CAIRO SURPRISE (4) is back from a spell of three-and-a-half months. Closed last prep with a second, beaten one length, over 1207m at Penn National. Solid top-three hope. Something for the Multiples: BUDS NOTION (8) WALL ART (5)

Recent form sound. Comes here off a 48-day let-up. Last start 3rd in a small field at Aqueduct on January 11 over 1609m, 2 len behind Bala De Plata with 56kg at $15.57. The run before that 3rd of 8 at Parx on December 24 over 1308m, 4 len behind Star Sweeper carrying 51.5kg at $2.70. Should be right in the finish.
