Turf Paradise Race 3 - Race 3 - Maiden Claiming
LUCKY TIGER (5) returned from a spell five-and-a-half weeks ago when it was beaten 8 lengths into eighth over 1609m at Santa Anita Turf. Finds an easier assignment and can find winning form. TAKE A CHANCE INDY (3) missed the placings two starts back then ran a better race and finished 4.5 lengths away in fourth last time out over 1609m at this track after being in the firing line on the corner. Likely improver with strong prospects. AL'S BIG BOY (2) missed the placings two runs back then was always well out of his ground last start when 19 lengths away in ninth over 1609m at this track. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. SON OF CUPID (1) turned in a moderate debut over 1207m at this track (Dirt) on February 5 when he was safely held in sixth, 10 lengths from the winner. Open to plenty of improvement. Can improve.

Second-up. First start 9th of 12 at Santa Anita Turf on October 26 over 1308m, 9 len behind Cal's Goal carrying 55.5kg at $8.10. Went for a spell before returning second last of 9 at Santa Anita Turf on January 15 over 1609m, 8 len behind Dark Blue carrying 55.5kg at $11.30. Improvement likely and looks a big chance.

First-starter by Grazen out of Racy Rascal. Hard to gauge so let the betting tell the story.
