Check out my Monday (12-8-25) Turf Paradise Race 6 analysis below.

TUP 6 (Str-Alw-5k, 3&up, 5.5f dirt) – Post Time  5:38 PM ET
Primary – #8 IMMELMANN, #3 Yes He Can
Secondary – #6 Good Lovin, #5 Shackleford Strong

Horse Comments:

#8 Immelmann (3-1) messed up the break from the outside post as the beaten favorite at RP Nov. 6 and the 2-3 finishers were next-out winners. He fired trifecta shots in four straight races from July through September, and he won a 5f affair in his lone local start in April under Monday’s rider Orlando Monica. 

#3 Yes He Can (6-1) is an 8-year-old gelding with a 16-for-43 record. He crossed the line first in three straight races in August, September, and October, and landed the place in a similar course/distance spot Nov. 10 (show finisher next-out winner). Karlo Lopez sticks and he figures to be forwardly placed.

#6 Good Lovin (5-2) wired the field from post 10 in a local starter allowance affair at this trip Nov. 10 (Yes He Can 2nd). He won four of his last five starts and should impact the pace at this speed friendly trip.

#5 Shackleford Strong (8-1) romped by 11 lengths as the 1-2 favorite at HAW Oct. 30 and his new trainer Hugo Rodriguez is 30% first after the claim. The versatile gelding handles this trip (8 3-2-1).
