Turf Paradise Race 9 - Race 9 - Maiden Claiming
MO GREY (2) looks well placed after finishing 2nd at Turf Paradise over this trip last start, beaten just 0.75L. MAESTRO ITALIANO (7) also appeals, having run 2nd at this distance two starts back. IN A PICKLE (4) was 3rd behind Mo Grey in the same recent race and should be around the mark again. ITSNOTROCKET (10) comes off a 3rd at Santa Anita two runs ago and drops back in distance. These four shape as the main hopes based on recent efforts.
