Race 8 at Turf Paradise {6:57 eastern post time} is an Opt claiming $20,000.00 event on the turf at a distance of *7 1/2 F. My top pick here is the 3yo #7-Az Ridge- 9/5. This horse just ran 2nd at big odds after a 2 month layoff at 1 1/16 mile on the dirt at Fairplex. This was a good effort narrowly getting beat a neck after leading until deep stretch. He has 2 starts on the turf with a 3rd place finish at Ellis Park and a 4th place finish to Silver Max beaten 8 1/2 lengths in his first attempt on the lawn at Indiana Downs . This horse should be on or near the front end in this race .
My plays: #7-Az Ridge -$100.00 to win
$2.00 tri key- 7/1,3,4,6 for $24.00
Total wagered $124.00
