Turf Paradise Race 8 - Race 8 - Allowance Optional Claiming
HANDSOME TICKET (8) recorded another success last time over 1308m at Santa Anita (Dirt) making it two straight wins this campaign. Expected be in the finish again over the same trip. HELA FOREVER (5) lifted strongly to score last time with 1.75 lengths to spare over 1106m at this track (Dirt), making it two in succession. Has a formidable combination with Carlos Montalvo who has been aboard for his last two wins. Should be in the finish. CRUSHER ROYALE (1) was in the firing line on the corner and finished second last start over 1710m at this track (Dirt), beaten 3.5 lengths. In the right race and is one of the big hopes. BROWNSTONE (4) missed the placings two runs back then didn't do any better last start when 3 lengths away in fifth over 1308m at this track. Capable of featuring prominently.

Third-up today. Resuming raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by 1.0 len at this track January 21 over 1207m defeating Tygra with 55.5kg at $7.50. Second run from a spell gave a sight but was run down late 2nd in a small field at this track on February 17 over 1308m, 0.3 len behind Petesoldfashioned carrying 56kg at $4.20. Likely to find them too smart.

Chasing a hat-trick. Comes here off a 31-day let-up. Most recently tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by 1.75 len at this track February 9 over 1106m defeating Tygra carrying 56kg at $6.60. The start before that came from midfield and won by 2.25 len at this track January 19 over 1207m defeating Reno carrying 56kg at $4.40. Well placed. Should prove hard to beat.
