Turfway Park Race 9 - Race 9 - Maiden Special Weight
UP COUNTRY (5) Looked outclassed when 5th last run at this track. Happy to forgive that run. Has shown early pace in races to date. Winning hope. PRIME EDGE (7) Honest run on the speed before fading to finish 3rd beaten by 4 3/4L last time at the track and solid career start. Goes very close. FLY GUY MICK (4) Subpar when 6th last start at this track. Betting may be best guide to the chances and each way is the likely play. ZAP D'ETAT (8) Caught the eye when 3rd beaten by 3L last run here and returning to a longer distance. Alex Achard and Gary F House deserve serious attention as a team. Good prospect for the exotics at least.

Resumes after a break. Jumped at $23.00 and uncompetitive when 7th last start at Gulfstream Park but gets a favourable barrier. Might have to make up considerable ground. Not interested.

Back from a break. Jumped at $43.00 and ran past a few when 4th last run around here and has a good draw. Coming back up in distance. Looks hopeful.

Fresh from a break. Jumped at $8.00 and struggled when 4th last time at Fair Grounds but having second career run. Others are more appealing.

Odds of $14.00 and picked up some ground to run 5th last start at the track and having second race start. Displays very good finishing speed. Stepping up in distance. Looking to place betting and exotics.

Started off strong but faded towards the end when 3rd last time at this track and honest performer putting a tidy record together. Definite claims.

Managed to place 3rd beaten by 3L last run at this venue and returning to more ground. Alex Achard and Gary F House are a strong duo. Watch betting.
