Turf Paradise Race 6

Maiden Claiming

Stake: $14,066

POCO YO (5) is closing in on a win, last time out finishing second over 905m at this track (Dirt) when just a nose from the winner. Overdue and gets his chance. SMILE DONT WINK (9) did very well to fill a minor placing when resuming at this track but raced below expectations last time over 1207m at this track (Dirt), finishing sixth and beaten 10 lengths. Perfectly placed and is sure to take plenty of stopping. LORD ANTHEM (2) is a five-start maiden who could only manage to finish seventh at his latest appearance over 1106m at this track (Dirt). Expected to feature in the finish this time. FIRST ELDAAFIRST (6) was unplaced two runs back when fresh from a spell then again missed the frame last start over 1207m at this track, beaten 24 lengths into fifth. Suitably placed so can turn things around.

Racing well recently. Returns from a 43-day let-up. Most recently tried to lead throughout but was claimed late 2nd of 7 at this track on December 22 over 905m, nose behind Bear Encounter with 55kg at $3.80. The start before that 4th of 9 at this track on December 10 over 1207m, 4 len behind Fancy Dancer with 55kg at $18.80. Doesn't need to improve much to salute.
