Turf Paradise Race 4 - Race 4 - Maiden Claiming
WEST IS WEST (7) has been in the money six times including last start on February 26 when third over 1308m at this track (Dirt). Has a solid record here with five top-three finishes to his name. Ideally placed to open his account. HUGH GLASS (6) could only manage fourth two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 1308m at this track, beaten 1.5 lengths after being in contention on the bend. Looks well placed so expect another big run. MONEY MITCH (2) is a six-year-old gelding who is having his first run for the Gonzalo Anderson yard. Most recently finished in the placings at Los Alamitos (Dirt) before going for a break. Hasn't trialled publicly but looks well placed. Among the leading chances. BOOMING BERNARDO (3) is a 29-start maiden who looks close to breaking the duck after finishing in the placings at his last couple of runs, most recently when 2.75 lengths away in third over 1106m at this track. Has a decent record at this track with three minor placings from four runs. Cannot be underestimated.

Second run back. First-up after seven months 5th of 9 at this track on February 4 over 1207m, 8 len behind Ultra Violence carrying 56kg at $27.70. Previously second-up second last of 8 at Del Mar on August 2 over 1207m, 26 len behind Charlie Foxtrot carrying 54.5kg at $26.10. Should progress from that first-up run.

Form hard to fault. At the latest run 3rd of 8 at this track on February 16 over 1106m, 2.75 len behind Sark carrying 56kg at $7.40. Before that set the pace for much of the race 2nd in a small field at this track on January 24 over 1308m, 1.0 len behind Crown Prosecutor with 56kg at $4.90. Should go well in this line up.

Third-up today. Resuming second last of 10 at Los Alamitos Qh on January 11 over 914m, 13 len behind Jimmy Delivers with 57kg at $63.40. Second run from a spell didn't finish the race at this track February 14 over 1106m. Will need plenty of improvement to feature.

Was at long odds at debut, ran last of 9 at this track on February 4 over 1207m, 29 len behind Ultra Violence carrying 56kg at $26.70. Cannot enthuse after the moderate debut effort.

Recent form sound. Last start held ground to the line 2nd of 7 at this track on February 26 over 1308m, 1.5 len behind Bang And A Boom carrying 57kg at $8.90. Before that 4th of 8 at this track on February 16 over 1106m, 3.5 len behind Sark with 56kg at $8.50. Making headway. Likely to measure up again.

The run before that 3rd of 8 at this track on February 5 over 1609m, 4 len behind King Of The Disco with 56kg at $6.60. Best form should see him measure right up.
