Laurel Park Race 9

Prize Money: $30,899

TWICE GOLD (3) got the prize two runs ago at this track. Safely held last time out when second over 1710m at this track, beaten 11 lengths after being prominent at the corner. Yet to miss the placings in two starts over this course and distance. Likely improver with strong prospects. LUCKED IN (5) finished fourth two runs back then did well last start but found one better over 1609m at this track, beaten only half a length. Jg Torrealba gets the best out of this six-year-old gelding. Looks well placed so expect another big run. SPEEDY ALEX (6) returned from a spell three weeks ago when he was beaten 6 lengths into fifth over 1106m at this track. Has been in the money at each second up start. Fitter so expect a better run this time. STRATEGIST (1) missed the frame last time when sixth at this track. Prior to that had been in the money on two consecutive occasions. Form at this track is solid. Cannot be underestimated.

Comments

Comes here off a 37-day let-up. At the latest run ran last in a small field at this track on February 12 over 1710m, 39 len behind Amazing Bernie with 52.5kg at $4.30. Before that 3rd of 8 at this track on January 17 over 1609m, 4 len behind Happy Jaunt with 57kg at $3. Form doesn't read well but he is a genuine contender.

Form hard to fault. Comes off a 37 day let-up. At the latest run 2nd in a small field at this track on February 12 over 1710m, 11 len behind Amazing Bernie with 53kg at $4.80. The start before that came from midfield and won by 1.75 len at this track January 9 over 1609m defeating Dats My Pharaoh with 55.5kg at $10.40. Can take this out.

Recent form sound. At the latest run raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 4th of 7 at this track on February 28 over 1609m, 1.3 len behind Hawkstone carrying 57kg at $20.90. The start before that won by a 0.3 len at Turfway Park January 9 over 1609m defeating Nice Shot Doug with 55kg at $8.44. Wasn't too far off the mark last time. In the mix again.
