Turf Paradise Race 2 - Race 2 - Maiden Claiming
CHICA TIGRE (4) turned in an eye-catching run over 1609m at this track (Dirt) last time, ridden back before coming home with a powerful run to finish third. Expected to prove tough to hold out again. SMOKIN HOT CHICK (5) missed the placings two starts back then ran a better race and finished 6 lengths away in fourth last time out over 1207m at Santa Anita. Tackling a more suitable race this time so she is set to turn things around. MISS MADAME (3) was popular in betting last time out but disappointed in finishing fourth over 1609m at this track (Dirt), beaten 8 lengths after she was well back on straightening. Suited in this line up and is among the better hopes. SCARLETT LETTER (6) was in contention on the bend and finished second last time over 1609m at this track (Dirt), beaten 2.75 lengths. Will trim down following recent racing. In the right race and is one of the better hopes.
