Turf Paradise Race 5 - Race 5 - Maiden Optional Claiming
RAFFINA (3) First up after a 103 week break. Came in 4th last start at Los Alamitos. Giving another go here and putting a tidy record together so far. Winning hope. AFFAIR (7) In the money when 3rd last time at Santa Anita but down in trip. Racing for a new trainer. Been in the placegetters each start this campaign. Finishes off strongly. Worth a ticket. MOCKTAILS ANYONE (2) Zipped home into 2nd last run at the track and has a good draw. Has early speed and positions nicely. Displaying good ability since resuming from a break. This field suits. ROYAL INTEGRITY (6) 4yo first starter by Street Strategy for trainer R Kory Owens. Watch the betting.

OK effort on debut when beaten 4.25L at Turf Paradise when a $33.9 chance. Beaten 4.25L last time out when a $33.9 in the market. 4.25L from the winner in Maiden Optional grade race at this circuit last start. Prefer to see.
