Turf Paradise Race 5 - Race 5 - Claiming

BIG STETSON (3) started at $5.10 last time and ran below expectations, finishing ninth and beaten 8 lengths at this track (Dirt) over 1106m. Won't find this as tough so he is one of the main contenders. HAPPY RANCH (2) recorded a gutsy maiden victory last time out over 1006m at this track (Dirt), scoring by 0.3 lengths. Is lightly raced and has plenty of scope for improvement. Looks well placed and he is right in the mix again. GRINNELL (4) is having his first run since winning by 0.1 lengths two weeks ago over 905m at this track. Has transferred to the Cc Perkinson stable over the break. Sure to make his presence felt. MAJOR PAYNE (5) doesn't win out of turn but ran a strong race when resuming from a spell last time out over 1006m at this track (Dirt), finishing third and beaten 2 lengths. Likely improver with top-three prospects.
