Turfway Park Race 2 - Race 2 - Allowance Optional Claiming
CHISELER (7) showed good early dash last time out and led for most of the way before being claimed and finishing 0.4 lengths away in third over 1207m at this track (Synthetic). Will take catching. HOGIE THE PLAYER (4) proved too strong two runs ago at this track. Safely held last time out when seventh over 1207m at Oaklawn Park, beaten 5.5 lengths. Has the talent to produce another win. MASTER CONTROLLER (6) made late ground and finished third last time over 1308m at this track (Synthetic) when resuming from a spell, beaten 6 lengths. In the right race and is a winning hope. CURLIN'S GESTURE (8) returns from a spell of four months and tackles a synthetic track for the first time. Important to note he opened last prep with a win at Churchill Downs (Dirt) over 1408m on. Likely to measure up. Something for the Multiples: TAGLIATELLE (11)
