Turfway Park Race 4 - Race 4 - Allowance Optional Claiming
MY OWN (8) scored by 6 lengths last time out over 1207m at this track (Synthetic). Yet to miss the placings here in an excellent record which boasts two wins and one placing. Must be respected. GARDEN OF WAR (7) returns from a break of four-and-a-half months. Consistent performer last prep whose most recent appearance resulted in a fourth over 1207m at Woodbine. Nicely placed to kick off another successful campaign. THE GREAT OZ (5) pushed forward last time and boxed on to finish 3 lengths away in second over 1308m at this track (Synthetic). Has his share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. ZAMBEZI (6) first-up today and did win first-up last prep at Churchill Downs (Dirt) over 1609m. This is his first run on a synthetic surface. Likely to measure up.

Form hard to fault. Comes off a 53 day let-up. At the latest run 3rd in a small field at Gulfstream Park on December 13 over 1609m, 2 len behind Act A Fool carrying 55kg at $3.60. The start before that 4th of 7 at Aqueduct on November 2 over 1207m, 4 len behind Nothing Better with 55kg at $4.49. Likely to play a big role.

Second-up. Comes off a 48-day let-up. First-up after six months ran last of 7 at this track on December 18 over 1207m, 6 len behind Runnin' Rocket with 52kg at $18.32. Previously second-up won by 4 len at Churchill Downs October 30 2024 over 1207m defeating All The Luck carrying 51kg at $11.03. Unlikely to threaten.

Is first-up after a break of four-and-a-half months and has been in the money when fresh before. Finished off last campaign fourth of 8 at Woodbine September 28 over 1207m, 4.5 len behind Old Chestnut carrying 52kg at $7.25. Previously first up; third of 7 at Woodbine May 3 over 1207m, 4.5 len behind Lucky Guest carrying 55kg at $1.90. Form shown last campaign makes for good reading.

Form hard to fault. Most recently ran on from midfield and scored a big 6 len win at this track January 8 over 1207m defeating Dr Saikali carrying 55kg at $4.03. The start before that made ground from midfield; 2nd of 11 at this track on December 5 over 1308m, 1.5 len behind G T Five Hundred with 53.5kg at $9.80. Big chance to go back-to-back.
