Turf Paradise Race 5

Maiden Optional Claiming

Stake: $29,679

GIFTED VALOR (1) made progress last time out, finishing 4.5 lengths from the winner in third at the end of 1006m at this track after being in contention on the turn. Looks well placed so expect another big run. LITTLE TO NO MONEY (6) faced the starter for the first time and finished fourth last start at The Albuquerque Downs Racetrack & Casino (Dirt) over 1006m, beaten 5 lengths. Can improve sharply and is expected to feature. NITRO BOOST (7) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1006m at this track, beaten 6 lengths. Fitter this time. Hard to beat in this suitable race. MAESTRO ITALIANO (2) is a two-year-old gelding on debut from the stable of Rafael S Barraza. By Clubhouse Ride from Lets Get Frisky. Watch the market closely.
