Laurel Park Race 5 - Race 5 - Mdn Special Weight
GUM (2) Finished well when 3rd beaten by 4 1/2L last start at this venue and good career start. Will try to take advantage of the draw. Can win. IMPROBABLE TALE (4) First appearance at the races 4yo by Improbable for Arnaud Delacour. Watch the market. ABUNDANT LOVE (12) Fresh after a 33 week spell. Couldn't stay in touch when 7th last start at this track. Underrated. CLEOPATRA SELENE (10) Improved late to finish 4th last run at this track and racing over more ground. Will be motoring home late. Serious player.

Resuming after a break. Tidy effort when 3rd last run at Gulfstream Park and showing improvement in recent outings. Should jump out and bowl along. Racing for a new trainer. Strong prospects.

Couldn't shake them off when 2nd last start at the track. Likely to be well placed early. Yedsit Hazlewood is a smart booking. Betting is the best guide.

Odds of $4.50 and inched into 4th last run around here. Jockey Sheldon Russell and trainer Brittany T Russell are an appealing combination. Always seems to find the line well. Has some claims.

Was $6.00 and overtook some late when 4th last run at this track and racing over a longer distance. Should get going late. Has a good chance.

Fresh today after a break. Odds of $12.00 and lacklustre showing when 7th last time here but was on debut last time. Does take a while to get into stride. Can't have on what it has been showing.
