Turfway Park Race 7 - Latonia S. Stakes
LITERATE (1) reunites with Luan Machado after scoring with ease over 1609m in Listed grade at this track (Synthetic) last time. Has been in solid form this campaign with two wins to her name. Best form puts her right in this. WARMING (5) progressed nicely last time out to finish just 0.8 lengths from the winner in second over 1673m at Gulfstream Park All Weather after being prominent at the turn. Must raise the bar but another big run is on the cards. FIVE A SIDE (7) finished fourth two runs back at this track (Synthetic) then improved last time out to score by 10 lengths as public elect after being in contention on the corner over 1609m at this track (Synthetic). It doesn't get any easier but on her best form she is capable of another big performance. STYLISH SUE (2) was beaten 24 lengths into seventh in a 1609m contest at this track three weeks ago. Well placed to bounce back.

Last start ran last of 7 at this track in LR on February 28 over 1609m, 24 len behind Literate carrying 54.5kg at $11.18. Before that 7th of 10 at Fairgrounds Turf in LR on January 17 over 1710m, 7 len behind Medoro carrying 54.5kg at $10.30. Can do a lot better than that last run.

Third-up today and won third-up in the past. Resumes off a 37 day letup. Resuming 6th of 8 at this track in LR on January 10 over 1609m, 19 len behind Literate carrying 54.5kg at $53.24. Second-up came from midfield and won by 1.0 len at this track February 12 over 1609m defeating White Rocks with 56kg at $48.85. Needs plenty of luck to trouble the top few.

Returns from a 56-day let-up. Most recently came from midfield; 2nd of 10 at Gulfstream Park All Weather on January 24 over 1673m, 0.8 len behind Miss Mary Nell carrying 55.5kg at $15.20. The run before that second last of 8 at Del Mar in the G3 Bayakoa Stakes on November 30 over 1609m, 16 len behind Hope Road carrying 54.5kg at $6.90. Good effort last start and can build on that performance.
