Woodbine Race 5

Starter Optional Claiming

Stake: -

ECHO WITH LAUGHTER (5) Assumed control from the start to win by 2 3/4L last time around here. Displays good tactical speed. Sofia Vives is very comfortable aboard. In the mix. NAPA SPIRIT (2) Was much too speedy in front to win by 1 1/4L last run at the track and proven performer at this trip. Should muster plenty of early speed. Has to be strongly considered. VAMOS VIEJO (4) Reeled them in when winning last start here and form has been improving over recent runs. Been in the placegetters each start this campaign. Will be hitting the line strongly. Capable of getting into the money. DISSECTOLOGIST (1) Didn't threaten when 7th last time here. Capable of bouncing back and gets the perfect draw. Has early speed and positions nicely. Up in class. Not out of this.

First up after a break. Jumped at $6.50 and was nothing special when 9th last time here but goes down in grade. Won't be far away during the run. Chances are slim.
