Laurel Park Race 2 - Race 2 - Claiming
BACK WALL BANDIT (2) was fresh from a three months break last start and scored by 5.5 lengths at this track (Dirt). Has a fair record at this track with a win and two placings. Should go well again. NO MO MUFFINS (1) finished 6 lengths away in fifth last time out over 1106m at this track four weeks ago. Tackles a longer journey this time. Should be poised just off the lead. Will give a great sight. HONOR OUR COUNTRY (5) comes here off a last-start fourth, beaten 9 lengths, over 1710m at this track. Strong top-three chance. YES PICNIC (4) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1106m at this track, beaten 5 lengths. Fitter so a likely improver.

Second-up. First-up after three months won by 5.5 len at this track February 14 over 1207m defeating Stylish Gem carrying 56kg at $5.30. Previously second-up second last of 7 at Laurel Turf on September 13 over 1106m, 9 len behind Covered In Crystal with 55.5kg at $10.80. The one to beat based on that latest effort.

Second-up. First-up after two months 4th of 8 at this track on February 14 over 1106m, 5 len behind Rerun Table with 51kg at $6.80. Previously second-up won by a nose at this track December 13 over 1207m defeating Kuaga carrying 53kg at $4.90. Likely improver.

Form hard to fault. At the latest run 4th in a small field at this track on February 14 over 1710m, 9 len behind Miss Fulton Gal carrying 53.5kg at $8.90. The run before that raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 3rd of 7 at this track on January 10 over 1609m, 6 len behind Momaxie with 55kg at $11.40. Deserves another chance.
