Turfway Park Race 5 - Race 5 - Maiden Special Weight
CAT ISLAND (3) will strip fitter for this after running below expectations first-up at Gulfstream Park (Turf), finishing fifth and beaten 4.5 lengths over 1609m after being prominent at the turn. Beautifully placed and is sure to give this a mighty shake. EDEY (1) made an encouraging debut last time out, finishing one length from the winner in third over 1308m at this track (Synthetic). Likely improver who should go well. NANZIG (8) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1207m at this track, beaten 5 lengths into fourth after being in the firing line on the turn. Has her share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. GOLDEN THREAD (10) was unwanted in betting on debut last start but ran a strong race, finishing second and beaten half a length over 1308m at this track (Synthetic). Among the chances.
