Turfway Park Race 9 - Race 9 - Allowance Optional Claiming
THE GREAT OZ (1) pushed forward last time and boxed on to finish 5 lengths away in second over 1609m at this track (Synthetic). Looks well placed so expect another big run. LIVE HIGH LIVE LOW (5) finished third when resuming from a spell last start over 1207m at this track. Sure to prove tough to stop. BAXLEY (2) won first up at Mahoning Valley then finished second last time out over 1609m at Mahoning Valley (Dirt), beaten 1.3 lengths. Strips fitter so a big run is likely. SMOKEN BOY (7) finished second last start at the first run back from a spell over 1308m at this track (Synthetic), beaten 2.25 lengths. Will benefit from that outing. Capable of another bold effort.

Form hard to fault. Last start held ground to the line 2nd of 9 at this track on March 6 over 1609m, 5 len behind Swiss Slang carrying 56kg at $4.81. The race before that sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 7 at this track on January 7 over 1308m, 3 len behind G T Five Hundred carrying 54.5kg at $9.39. Makes plenty of appeal from the inside barrier.

Racing well recently. Comes here off a 35-day let-up. Most recently sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 4th of 7 at this track on February 18 over 1207m, 7 len behind My Own with 53.5kg at $3.91. The run before that won by 1.75 len at this track January 21 over 1207m defeating Smokey Smokey carrying 52kg at $3.30. Genuine chance this time around.
