Turf Paradise Race 6 - Race 6 - Maiden Claiming
TOUGH AS AN OX (9) has been in great form with two placings in succession, most recently when beaten 1.3 lengths into second over 1106m at Grants Pass (Dirt) when he was handy all the way. Finds a tougher race but another big run is on the cards. MENDELSSOHNS MUSIC (2) is racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid second at Prairie Meadows (Dirt) over 1106m after being in contention all the way. Has the pace and draw to take up a good early position. Perfectly placed and is sure to prove tough to beat. STREET GUN (5) is a six-start maiden who resumed from a spell last start and was beaten 4 lengths when fourth over 1106m at The Albuquerque Downs Racetrack & Casino (Dirt). Should progress from that last outing and poses a genuine threat. ALI JAC (7) didn't do a lot on debut eight weeks ago, finishing 28 lengths from the winner in eighth over 1207m at Los Alamitos (Dirt). Plenty of scope for improvement. Can feature in the finish.
