Turfway Park Race 1 - Race 1 - Claiming
SPECIAL SAUCE (5) hasn't been far away since a maiden win five runs back, the latest effort a third over 1207m at this track (Synthetic) on January 14. Should be poised just off the lead. Likely to feature. DIABLO SHIRAZ (9) could only manage tenth two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 1207m at this track, beaten only 1.5 lengths after being in contention on the corner. Finds a suitable race and can figure in the finish. EMILY'S JOY (2) resumed over 1207m at this track (Synthetic) last start and was too good for her rivals, scoring by 1.5 lengths. Fitter for that last hitout and must be respected. MADDIE'S GARDEN (4) scored two back at Fairgrounds (Dirt) but was below her best last time when sixth over 1207m at Fairgrounds (Dirt). Likely improver with top-three prospects.

Comes here off a 46-day let-up. At the latest run ran on from midfield and won by 0.5 len at this track December 27 over 1308m defeating Little Value Added carrying 54kg at $8.25. Before that 6th of 10 at Horseshoe Indianapolis on November 3 over 1106m, 4 len behind Jr Miss Starlet carrying 54.5kg at $3.70. Likely to run around at long odds and deservedly so.
