Turf Paradise Race 3

Starter Allowance

Stake: $20,950

GO CATS (1) went forward last start over 1609m at this track (Dirt) and held on well for third, beaten 3 lengths. Has the talent to take care of this field. LEMON MERINGUE (3) showed good early speed and raced on the pace when first-up after a spell last start before fading to finish fourth, beaten 9 lengths, over 1609m at this track (Dirt). Sure to give a great sight. WINNING BIG (6) settled well back last start and never threatened when 9 lengths from the winner in fifth over 1710m at Zia Park (Dirt). Yet to miss the placings from six starts at this circuit. Worth noting F Garcia goes aboard. Finds a nice race and can find winning form. RIGHT HAND RYDER (2) raced on the speed and found plenty to score by a nose at this track and trip last start in a nice progression on the first-up performance. Finds a tougher race but he has the talent to test this line-up.
