Turfway Park Race 5 - Race 5 - Maiden Special Weight
CORE MEMORIES (9) is a two-start maiden who was unplaced on debut then improved to finish second last time over 1710m at Churchill Downs (Turf), beaten 0.8 lengths. Backmarker who keeps coming. Well placed and can get off the mark this time. ISLAND GIRL (8) was close to a maiden win before a 12 weeks break, finishing off with a placing over 1710m at Churchill Downs (Turf). Re-unites with Luan Machado. Has ability and can hit the ground running this campaign. UNCATCHABLE (5) was well in the market first up from a spell last start over 1609m at Laurel (Turf) but was safely held in ninth, beaten 19 lengths. Shapes as one to consider. CARTIER GOLD (13) did a fair job on debut last time out, finishing 4 lengths from the winner in second over 1609m at this track (Synthetic). Has upside and must be respected.

Lining up for just third start. At debut, 5th of 12 at Keeneland on October 23 over 1609m, 5.5 len behind Amberglen carrying 54kg at $10.09. Last start sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 12 at Churchill Downs on November 29 over 1710m, 0.8 len behind Kentucky Belle with 54kg at $5.38. Well-placed and should prove hard to beat.
