Turfway Park Race 4 - Race 4 - Starter Allowance
MENKAURE (2) was too good for a maiden field last start over 1308m at this track (Synthetic), scoring by half a length. Is lightly raced and has plenty of scope for improvement. Re-unites with Walter A Rodriguez who was on board last start. Sure to prove tough to beat again with that win now under her belt. BOLT DIOR (1) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start when she got a long way back over 1609m at this track, beaten 10 lengths into seventh. This doesn't look as hard so she is a major player. VALALA (3) fresh from a spell of 12 weeks – the last first up run was a second at Saratoga (Dirt) over 1106m. With a new stable now and tackling a synthetic track for the first time. Should be forward enough to run very well. BEARA PENINSULA (7) showed good speed to stalk the pace before drawing clear to score by half a length over 1609m here last time out. Can figure in the finish again.

Comes off a 41 day let-up. Last start didn't finish the race at this track January 9 over 1609m. The run before that raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by 2.25 len at Churchill Downs November 26 over 1609m defeating P O S H Posh carrying 54kg at $9.28. Cannot entertain.

Second-up. Comes off a 49-day let-up. First-up after two months raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by 0.5 len at this track January 1 over 1609m defeating Lexico carrying 54.5kg at $6.38.
