Turf Paradise Race 3 - Race 3 - Allowance Optional Claiming
KING ELVIS (1) showed good early dash last time out and led for most of the way before being claimed and finishing half a length away in second over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Sure to go well. PLANE TALK (2) is back from a spell of three months and brings solid fresh form to the table. Strung together two wins before the break, the latest over 905m at this track. Has the pace to settle in the leading division. Among the leading chances. SPECTACULAR TIGER (4) couldn't have been more impressive first up last start when he scored by 8 lengths over 1106m at this track (Dirt). Open to plenty of improvement and another big run will not surprise. POVERTY BAY (5) lines up for the first time since June 27. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings over 1106m at this track. Definite top-three chance.

Recent form sound. At the latest run tried to lead throughout but was claimed late 2nd in a small field at this track on February 12 over 1207m, 0.5 len behind Distant Fleet carrying 56kg at $2.30. The run before that favourite; came from midfield and won by a 0.3 len at this track January 31 over 1308m defeating You'reinthearmynow with 55.5kg at $4.30. Strong effort last time and looks a leading hope.

Second-up. Comes off a 59-day let-up. First-up after four months scored a big 8 len win at this track January 5 over 1106m defeating Factory Drive with 55.5kg at $4.50. Previously second-up second last of 10 at Santa Anita on April 6 over 1207m, 36 len behind Letmein with 57kg at $8.60. Looks a big chance to add to the impressive recent run. Improver with winning prospects.
