This seems dead on.
A decent trainer might bring a horse back ready, or might work a horse a couple races into shape. Really hard to know which. If the odds are good, I will bet a layoff horse anytime.
One thing I have noticed at lesser tracks. A lot of times with old broken down claimers, the layoff horses are really strong after their rest.
