Turfway Park Race 12 - Jeff Ruby Steaks Stakes
STARK CONTRAST (11) Resumes from a break. Dashed home to win last time at Santa Anita and honest performer putting a tidy record together. Matched against tougher rivals. Must respect in this event. FULLEFFORT (2) Missed by a narrow margin last run at this track and gets a favourable draw. Has a great burst of speed late. Competing in a higher grade. No shock to see a win. ARGOS (10) Improved when 5th last start at Gulfstream Park and solid career start. Jockey Luan Machado and trainer Brad H Cox command respect as a team. Facing formidable competition. Worth strong consideration. TWO OUT HERO (4) Didn't threaten when 9th last start at the track but showing consistent performance in races. Challenged by a tougher grade. Gets a chance to win.

Was $6.00 and faded away to finish 6th last time at Gulfstream Park but promising career start. Can save some energy from the barrier. Watch the betting.
