Laurel Park Race 2

Maiden Claiming

Prize Money: $30,726

FLYING TO WORK (6) raced on the speed last start and battled on well but found one better over 1106m at this track (Dirt). Yet to break through this time in but hasn't been far away, with six placings to his name. Leading contender. GIMME TWO SHOTS (2) remains a maiden after three runs. Was one of the favoured runners last time but after being in the firing line on the turn could only manage to finish fourth over 1106m at this track (Dirt). This looks a nice race so expect him to be right in the finish. Q GOT HOPS (4) was in a rearwards position on the turn last time out before finishing 31 lengths from the winner in eighth over 1609m at this track (Dirt). Among the chances in what looks a nice race for him. EL PAPACITO (3) has been in the placings at his last two starts, finishing third last time over 1106m at this track (Dirt). Suitably placed so anticipating another big run.

Comes off a 35 day let-up. At the latest run sat on the pace before fading 8th of 12 at Laurel Turf on April 26 over 1106m, 8 len behind Dad Joke carrying 53kg at $89.10. Before that second last in a small field at this track on March 13 over 1207m, 8 len behind Poor Peanut carrying 52kg at $4.30. Better than that recent plain performance suggests.
