Turfway Park Race 8 - Race 8 - Maiden Special Weight
TELECASTER (10) improved last time out, finishing 4.5 lengths from the winner in third at the end of 1207m at this track after being prominent at the bend. Finds a suitable race and can find the winner's circle. CARDIFF REEF (3) on the synthetic for the first time today on her return from a spell of three-and-a-half months. Kicked off the last campaign with a fifth at Ellis Park (Dirt) over 1106m. One of the prime candidates. MR VAGGIO (4) is back after a break of five-and-a-half months. At the last run before the layoff he finished fourth over 1710m at Churchill Downs (Dirt). Rates highly on best figures and should be right in this. FUZZY STARE (8) is a three-year-old gelding on debut from the stable of W A Ward. By Hootenanny from Bistro Moncur. Worth watching for a betting push.
