Turfway Park Race 5 - Race 5 - Maiden Special Weight
TAQDEER (9) Didn't find the line when 4th last start at this venue. First appearance for a new trainer. Has shown early pace in races to date. No surprise to see a forward showing and one of the main hopes in this race. SASSARI (3) H Graham Motion trained 4yo by Quality Road having first race start. Watch the market. SERENA'S SURPRISE (7) Career debut 3yo by Honor Code for Genaro Garcia. Respect the betting. SOME SWEET GAL (1) Resuming from a 51 week spell. Good performance to run into 2nd beaten by just short of 7L last time at Oaklawn Park and was a debutant last start. One of the major players.

First run back from a break of 30 weeks. Odds of $9.00 and didn't attack the line when 10th last time at Saratoga but fitter for debut run. Form will be tested here.

At $3.20 couldn't maintain the pace throughout when 4th last start at this venue. First race for a new trainer. Has good tactical speed and will be nicely positioned. Very capable of taking this out.
