Turf Paradise Race 8 - Race 8 - Allowance Optional Claiming
OUR BEST SONG (3) finished third over 1207m at Delaware Park (Dirt) at her most recent appearance on October 1. Has switched to the Valorie Lund stable. Has ability and should be right in the finish. BLUE SPIRIT (4) is racing well without winning. Last start finished fourth, beaten 1.5 lengths, over 1308m at this track (Dirt). Should measure up. LADY GAMBITA (1) impressed when successful on debut over 1207m at this track (Dirt) three-and-a-half weeks ago. Has upside and is among the chances again. READY TO DARE (5) turned in a modest performance when fifth last time out over 1609m at this track, beaten 12 lengths, after a win at Zia Park at the previous outing. Best figures measure up so deserves another chance.
