Sugoi’s maiden success at Turf Paradise came in a tougher contest than March West won here last month. Lindante won an optional claimer here earlier in the month though Gospel Abe was less than a length behind while Mr Midtown is another successful in claiming company last time though stablemate MOMMA’S BABY BOY has the stronger form. The latter won at Del Mar in November before finishing runner-up in an allowance race at Houston on his reappearance and can go one better in this. Kirk Of Diamonds also has the form to figure at this level though has to overcome an outside draw.
