Turf Paradise Race 3 - Race 3 - Allowance Optional Claiming

BODENHEIMER (1) went forward and proved too strong last time out, scoring by 0.3 lengths over 1006m at this track (Turf). Nicely placed to feature in the finish. AUGUSTA MELODY (4) has been safely held at his last couple, the latest in stakes class when eighth at Listed level at Turf Paradise (Dirt). Well-placed in this easier assignment and he is among the leading players. PLAYER B (3) last raced when successful by a nose over 1207m at Santa Anita Turf (Turf) 12 weeks ago. Among the better hopes. DESPERATE MAN (5) closed off strongly last start to get up for second, beaten 0.3 lengths, over 1006m at this track. Top-three prospects.
