Check out my Tuesday (12-16-25) Turf Paradise Race 2 analysis below.
TUP 2 (OC-15k, F&M, 7.5f turf) – Post Time 3:42 PM ET
Primary – #4 ISLAND JIVE
Secondary – #1 Marinas Tina, #6 Dutton Street Girl
Horse Comments:
#4 Island Jive (7-2) might be set for her best in her third start off a layoff. She added lasix and landed the place Nov. 15 and moved early and flattened out when finishing 5th of 6 (Marinas Tina 2nd) Nov. 29. She does some of her best work at this distance (7 2-3-1).
#1 Marinas Tina (5-2) is 1-for-7 with three runner-up finishes since shipping to Turf Paradise (November 2024). She won her first local start and is 0-for-6 with three place finishes this year. She returned from a layoff of 7+ months and stalked, led, and held second Nov. 29.
#6 Dutton Street Girl (3-1) completed the trifecta in her last two turf starts at RP. Harry Hernandez is a 20% turf rider and he is 1-for-1 with Shawn Davis. She owns competitive numbers.
