Turfway Park Race 9 - Race 9 - Maiden Special Weight
PRIME EDGE (7) raced on the speed from the outset when resuming last start and finished third, beaten 5 lengths, over 1609m at this track (Synthetic). Placed to advantage so expect a big run. UP COUNTRY (5) is a maiden with two minor placings to his name. Could not improve on that record when resuming last start, winding up in fifth over 1609m at this track (Synthetic). Sure to strip fitter this time around. Should camp just off the leaders. Will prove tough to beat. ZAP D'ETAT (8) finished third last time out over 1207m at this track (Synthetic), making it five career minor placings. Has a solid record at this track, finishing in the top-three two times. Expected to measure up. LAHAINALUNA (3) stepped out for his debut over 1609m at Fairgrounds (Dirt) back on January 11 and finished fourth, beaten 15 lengths. Can improve sharply.
