23:11 turf-paradise Monday 24th November 2025

MASHHAD FLATS (4) has switched yards since finishing fourth six weeks ago over 6f at Grants Pass. Will prove tough to beat for the new barn. ORTH (7) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start when he was never in contention over 6f at this track, beaten 9 lengths into 11th. Nicely placed to get the prize. SAQEEL (9) finished a 10 length sixth when resuming two runs back on a dirt track at Santa Anita over 1m. Followed that up with an unplaced effort on turf at this track over 1m. Sound record at this distance with six wins and seven minor placings from 18 runs and is expected to be competitive. BEL RAGAZZO (5) scored two runs back then was well in commission last time but could only manage to finish sixth over the same trip at Zia Park (Dirt) after he had settled well back. Finds an easier assignment and can find winning form.
