Turf Paradise Race 6 - Race 6 - Maiden Claiming
SAND PAYNTER (9) is a seven-start maiden who finished eighth at his most recent appearance over 1207m at this track (Dirt) after he was well back on straightening. Well placed on this occasion and gets his chance to break the ice. SMILE DONT WINK (5) has recorded two minor placings from three runs this campaign. Was prominent throughout and finished 5 lengths from the winner in third at the latest outing over 1006m at this track (Dirt). Nicely placed to feature in the finish. RIVER'S BENCHMARK (6) is back after a break of ten months. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings over 1006m at Fresno. Has found the right race and is worth including. MR TRIG (7) stepped out on his debut over 1106m at this track (Dirt) two months ago and finished seventh, beaten 17 lengths. Fitter and with the blinkers added is sure to be competitive.
