Turf Paradise Race 5 - Race 5 - Maiden Special Weight
JARVIS JUNCTION (4) has placed at his last three starts at Turf Paradise, most recently finishing 3rd over 1308m, beaten 6.3L. LARRY'S GOLD (8) comes off consecutive 2nd placings at the same track and looks a key chance. PHANTOM EXPRESS (6) resumes after a break but was 3rd at Canterbury Park over 1106m last start and has multiple placings in similar company. ELEMPRESARIO (7) was 3rd on debut over 905m and can improve with that run under the belt. Jarvis Junction (4), Larry's Gold (8), and Phantom Express (6) appeal as the main hopes based on recent placings.
