Turf Paradise Race 8 - Race 8 - Claiming
BANGO GAL (9) got home by 4.5 lengths last time out over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Has a fair record at this track with a win and four placings. Alex M Cruz goes well on this four-year-old and is back on top today. Well placed and should be in the finish. MAXIMUM SPARKLE (5) doesn't win out of turn, scoring just once from 11 starts. Again tasted defeat last start when eighth over 1509m at this track, beaten 8 lengths. Beautifully placed and is sure to play a major role. IT HAPPENS (4) returned from a spell a month ago when she was beaten 3 lengths into fourth over 1207m at this track. Strips fitter and can play a major role. MAX'S MAXINE (2) was in the placings again last time when 0.8 lengths adrift in second over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Has her share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race.
