Turfway Park Race 9 - Race 9 - Maiden Special Weight
AMBITIOUSLY (3) showed good early speed then led into the straight when fresh from a spell last start before fighting on to finish second, beaten 1.5 lengths, over 1207m at this track (Synthetic). Well-placed and will take catching. PUTEKETEKE (7) wasn't far away on debut last start over 1207m at Fairgrounds (Dirt), finishing third and beaten 5.5 lengths. Has ability and looks sure to measure up. FLICK (8) resumes from a spell of 11 weeks. Could only manage to finish fourth at the latest run over 1207m at Fairgrounds (Dirt). Strong winning chance on best figures. BIG BLUE NOTION (1) is appearing for the first time. By Great Notion and comes from the Darrin Miller stable. Worth watching for a betting push.
