Turfway Park Race 8 - Rushaway S. Stakes
VALIANT (5) Resuming after a spell. Came in 4th last run at the track. Giving another chance here and going down in class. Likely to be well placed early. Can get the job done. J J GREY (1) Shot clear to win by a margin of 4L last start at Fair Grounds and drawn the rails. Facing formidable opponents. Demonstrating upward trajectory in recent races. Goes very close. TRENDSETTER (2) Finished 4th last time at Laurel Park. Giving another chance here and has a positive alley. Should get going late. Competing at a higher level of competition. Up to these. RHYTHM LADY (6) Gave them a lesson when winning by a margin of 8L last start at this track. Has to be included. Something for the Multiples: TARTABULL (7)

Blitzed its rivals when winning by 4L last start at Fair Grounds and gets a favourable draw. Showing improvement in recent outings. Stepping up to a higher level. Definitely worth considering.

Was $7.00 and ran 4th last time at Laurel Park. Giving another chance here and can find a nice position from the draw. Will be motoring home late. Should go close.

First up after 17 weeks and rocketed home when winning first up last preparation at Colonial Downs. Facing a stronger grade. Place at best.

Odds of $23.00 and chased well when 5th last start at this venue and challenged by weaker competitors. Might be ridden for luck. Can't entertain.

Picked up late ground when 3rd last run at Aqueduct and solid career start. Taking on stronger rivals. Prefer in an easier race.

Odds of $43.00 and below par when 7th last time at Gulfstream Park but lining up against easier rivals. Saffie A Joseph Jr stable are on fire recently. Difficult to warm to at present.
