Turfway Park Race 9 - Race 9 - Allowance Optional Claiming
JUTLAND (8) did a good job last time, finishing in the money when third over 1609m in Listed grade at this track (Synthetic). Has an outside gate again but rates highly in this line up. Expected to go well. THAILAND (7) is back from a spell of 11 weeks. Closed last prep as a winner, taking out a 1710m contest at this track by 0.1 lengths. Likely to be in the finish. EMPIRE WEST (1) broke his maiden last start over 1710m at this track (Synthetic), scoring by half a length. Is lightly raced and has plenty of scope for improvement. Tougher task this time but expected to be competitive again. SMALL TOWN (4) showed good speed to stalk the pace before drawing clear to score by 1.3 lengths over 1207m here last time out. In form and worth including.

Form hard to fault. Comes here off a 47-day let-up. Last start won by 0.5 len at this track January 17 over 1710m defeating Maginnesontap carrying 54.5kg at $4.87. Before that made ground from midfield; 3rd of 11 at this track on December 21 over 1710m, 4 len behind Thailand carrying 54kg at $2.27. Should be right in the finish.

At the latest run came from midfield and won by 1.0 len at this track February 14 over 1609m defeating Question Answered carrying 54.5kg at $11.89. The run before that second last of 11 at this track on December 26 over 1308m, 20 len behind Envision carrying 54kg at $3.89. Broke maiden status last time and is worthy of consideration.
