Turfway Park Race 5 - Race 5 - Maiden Claiming
JORGE'S ACE (2) returned from a spell a month ago when he was in contention on the corner before being beaten 6 lengths into fifth over 1609m at this track. Strips fitter and can figure prominently. CHUCK'S LAW (9) is a four-start maiden who could only manage to finish tenth at his latest appearance over 1609m at this track (Synthetic) after he was well back on straightening. Rates highly in this field and can turn things around. SIERRA POWER (1) showed little early speed last start and failed to come on in the straight when tenth, beaten 11 lengths, over 1207m at this track (Synthetic). Looks well placed so expect a better run this time. NEHALEM (3) finished out of the money on debut two starts back then was beaten 6 lengths when seventh in a 1609m contest at this track four weeks ago. Finds a more suitable contest and can get the job done.
