Turf Paradise Race 5 - Race 5 - Claiming
HONOR THE CAT (3) has returned in good order this preparation. Won his maiden first-up over 1609m at this track (Dirt) then finished second over 1207m at this track (Dirt) last time. In good form and sure to go well. F B I BOB (4) is usually thereabouts but finds it hard to win, with only one victory from 18 starts. Again tasted defeat last start when fifth over 1207m at this track, beaten 6 lengths. Best figures measure up nicely. Makes plenty of appeal. UKRAINE STRONG (2) improved last start to finish third over 1609m at this track after being in the firing line on the turn. Meets some better types this time but he has the ability to test this field. GATE GUARD (5) finished second last time over 1006m at this track (Dirt) when resuming from a spell, beaten 2.75 lengths. Stepping up a level this time but on his best form he is capable of testing his rivals.
