Turf Paradise Race 4

Maiden Optional Claiming

Prize Money: $24,745

LOVE DA GIG (2) is building towards a maiden win after minor placings at his last two runs, the latest when second over 905m at Turf Paradise (Dirt), beaten 5 lengths. Well placed and should go well again. GIFTED VALOR (7) was last at the races when he finished eighth over 1207m at Turf Paradise (Dirt) on February 5. Should be hard to stop. NOW CATO (1) settled well back from the inside draw last start before coming home nicely to finish 6 lengths away in fourth over 1308m at Turf Paradise (Dirt). One of the main contenders. OM GROWN TOMATOES (3) is a three-year-old gelding on debut from the stable of Vann Belvoir. By Om from Red Tomatoes. Top-three chance.
