Officer can lay down law in the eighth

PUNTERS can start the new year on a high at Curraheen Park tonight by supporting Law Officer in the eighth race.

The selection has been a terrific servant to connections, making the frame in 26 of his 37 starts, winning 10 times.

A trap-to-line 29.02 winner last month, he was prominent for a long way before finishing out of the frame over 550 yards last time. Likely to be more at home over this trip, Law Officer should take a deal of catching.
