Turfway Park Race 3 - Race 3 - Maiden Claiming
SHEZ TWISTED (14) went forward last start over 1207m at Mahoning Valley (Dirt) and held on well for third, beaten 7 lengths. Finds a tougher race but she has the ability to test this field. MISS QUEUE (11) is a four-start maiden who resumed from a spell last start and was beaten 12 lengths when tenth over 1207m at this track (Synthetic). Chance to break her maiden status with that run under her belt. DRAGON NAVY (3) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1207m at this track, beaten 11 lengths after being in contention on the corner. Beautifully placed and is sure to prove tough to beat. AMBER ROAD (5) ended up 7 lengths behind the winner in fifth on debut last start over 1207m at Mahoning Valley (Dirt). Will take a lot from that experience. Don't underestimate.
