Turf Paradise Race 5 - Race 5 - Maiden Claiming
REACH HIGHER (1) gets out over more ground today on the back of some solid form of late, the most recent effort a second over 1308m at this track (Dirt). Proving a good combination with Kiaman McGregor with three straight placings. Best form puts him right in this. WEST IS WEST (2) ran below expectations last time after being prominent on the turn at this track (Dirt), finishing fifth and beaten 6 lengths starting at $4.90. Faces an easier assignment so he is one of the main contenders. LOOKIN FOR CURLY (6) returns after nine weeks in the paddock. Closed the last campaign with a fourth over 1609m at Del Mar (Dirt). Among the chances while fresh. HUNTING FOR GOLD (4) was in contention on the turn and finished second last time over 1609m at this track (Dirt), beaten 4.5 lengths. Will trim down following recent racing. Placed to advantage so expect another forward showing.
