Turfway Park Race 8 - Race 8 - Allowance Optional Claiming
TURN UP THE TREES (14) showed good speed last time out and fought on well when third over 1207m at Oaklawn Park (Dirt). Has the pace to overcome the draw. Right in this. Expected to take running down. BLANCO (2) finished fourth last time out as favourite over 1207m at this track, beaten 8 lengths. Leading contender. DEVIL IN DISGUISE (1) is a progressive five-year-old gelding who resumes from a break of three-and-a-half months, his last appearance being a win over 1207m at Aqueduct Inner Turf (Turf). Has two wins to his name when fresh from a spell. Drawn to enjoy a nice trail just off the pace. One of the main contenders. SIXTYSEVEN MUSTANG (10) got the prize two runs ago but was less impressive last time out when third over 1308m at this track, beaten 4 lengths. Expect a better run this time.

Comes here off a 42-day let-up. At the latest run 8th of 12 at this track on January 8 over 1207m, 12 len behind My Own with 55kg at $18.02. The start before that won by a 0.3 len at this track December 6 over 1207m defeating War Legend carrying 55.5kg at $12.02. Not going well enough to win this.

Second-up. First-up after two months 3rd of 9 at Fairgrounds on January 19 over 1207m, 3 len behind Maximum Bourbon carrying 54.5kg at $6.60. Previously second-up ran on from midfield and won by 9 len at Horseshoe Indianapolis November 10 over 1207m defeating Shallus with 55.5kg at $3.50. Should progress from that first-up run.

Third-up today and placed third-up previously. Resumes off a 55 day letup. Resuming 5th of 10 at Delta Downs on December 13 over 1006m, 2.5 len behind Our Pact carrying 54kg at $4.70. Second run from a spell scored a big 3 len win at Fairgrounds Turf December 26 over 1609m defeating E Lion carrying 55kg at $17.50. Hard to recommend.
