Turfway Park Race 8 - Race 8 - Allowance Optional Claiming
THE GREAT OZ (4) raced on the speed last start over this course and distance and stuck on well to finish second, beaten 3 lengths. Rafael Manuel Hernandez gets the best out of this eight-year-old gelding. Hard to beat in this suitable race. MO QUALITY (7) did a great job to score by 1.75 lengths over this course and distance last start in a far better run. Nicely placed to play a pivotal role. ROCK N ROLL BOLT (6) was an impressive winner last time over 1308m at this track (Synthetic), leading throughout and putting 4 lengths on his rivals. One of the main contenders. ZAMBEZI (2) went to the paddock after scoring at his only appearance last prep three-and-a-half months ago over 1609m at Churchill Downs (Dirt). Has switched to the M J Maker stable over the break. One to consider.
