Turfway Park Race 9 - Race 9 - Allowance Optional Claiming
THE GREAT OZ (6) has been in good form, scoring three back at Woodbine All Weather then placing twice in a row, most recently finishing second when he was in the firing line all the way over 1308m at this track (Synthetic). The engagement of Rafael Manuel Hernandez is noteworthy. Finds a suitable race and can figure in the finish. SWISS SLANG (7) pushed forward last time and boxed on to finish 9 lengths away in third over 1710m in Listed grade at this track (Synthetic). Tackling a more suitable race so he is a major player. CAN'T HUSH THIS (1) ran below expectations last time at this track (Synthetic) over 1207m, finishing fourth and beaten 5.5 lengths. Has good early toe so he should be handy in the run. Capable of testing this field. FACTOR ANALYSIS (4) was last at the races when he finished fourth over 1710m at Churchill Downs Turf (Turf) on November 13. Definite top-three chance.
