Turf Paradise Race 8 - Race 8 - Maiden Special Weight
LITTLEYELLOWJACKET (9) Managed to run 2nd last time here and promising career start. The wide gate shouldn't be a problem with plenty of early speed. Exhibiting good form this preparation. Ticks plenty of boxes and looks like value . JARVIS JUNCTION (4) Ran home into 3rd last run around here. Kevin Eikleberry stable are on fire recently. Amongst the placegetters at every start this preparation. One of the major players. CROSSBONE (5) 3yo by Barkley having initial appearance for Howard F Gibson. Watch early betting. NOW CATO (1) Closed off nicely when 4th last time here and drawn well. Solid each way claims.

At $11.00 overtook some late when 5th last run at this venue and having second race start. Kevin Krigger and Sergio Alvarez deserve serious consideration as a team. May find these too slick.

Strong run when finishing 3rd beaten by 2 1/4L last run here. Has run into the money 2 from 2 attempts this campaign. Recent form of Kevin Eikleberry is strong. Definitely worth considering.

At $4.33 didn't attack the line when 4th last run at Santa Anita. First race for a new trainer. Has some claims.

Jumped at $36.00 and chased well when 5th last start here. Very minor chance.

Came on strongly when 2nd last time here and putting a tidy record together so far. Should be rolling forward early from the wide barrier. Should be in the finish.

Started $28.00 and clearly outclassed when 7th last start here. Has the necessary speed to mitigate the wide draw. Very unlikely to shake these.
