Turf Paradise Race 2 - Race 2 - Claiming
UKRAINE STRONG (3) is close to breaking through after finishing second last start over 1207m at Arapahoe Park (Dirt) when he was in the firing line all the way. Perfectly placed and is sure to give this a mighty shake. SIX HOT GRANDS (8) has switched yards since finishing ninth five-and-a-half weeks ago over 1207m at Santa Anita. Solid chance for the new barn. DEEP CREEK STORM (6) returns from a spell of nine weeks and is having his first run for a new yard. Finished 11th at Los Alamitos (Dirt) over 1106m when first-up last time in work. Solid top-three hope. NATURAL HIGH (2) is a seven-year-old gelding who is having his first run for the Miguel Silva stable. Finished off last campaign with a 12th at Lone Star Park (Dirt) five months ago. Not seen at the trials but looks nicely placed. Can return with a bold run.
