Turfway Park Race 2 - Race 2 - Maiden Claiming
BELLE OF LIBERTY (7) is yet to break through after five career starts. Managed to fill a minor placing at Fairgrounds (Dirt) two starts back before finishing sixth over 1106m at Fairgrounds Turf (Turf) last start. This looks her chance to break through. NOULIKEABOOK (3) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 1006m at this track, beaten only 1.3 lengths. It doesn't get any easier but on her best form she is good enough to take this out. SHEZ TWISTED (5) is a nine-start maiden who finished ninth at her most recent appearance over 1609m at this track (Synthetic). Looks to be in the right race to play a big role. HOPE RISING (6) was prominent at the bend and finished second last start at the first run back from a spell over 1308m at this track (Synthetic), beaten 2.5 lengths. Placed to advantage so expect a big run.
