Turfway Park Race 9 - Race 9 - Maiden Claiming
NA PALI JOE (3) was prominent at the bend and progressed nicely last start to finish a close second over 1609m at this track after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Taking on a better field but he is capable of running a bold race. SHALLUS (5) is yet to break through in 27 runs but has been thereabouts. Placed two back then was 12 lengths away in fourth over 1308m at this track (Synthetic) last time. Backmarker who keeps coming. Overdue and looks well placed to break the ice. BOURBON FLIGHT (9) was well fancied when resuming but found a couple better at this track (Synthetic), finishing 1.1 lengths adrift at the end of 1207m. Will appreciate the extra ground. One of the better chances. HE'S ALL HEART (1) turned in a moderate effort on debut last start when fifth at this track (Synthetic) over 1207m, beaten 4.5 lengths. Drew wide last time but has the inside gate here. Nicely placed and deserves respect.
