Thistledown Race 6

Claiming

Stake: $35,441

TRIANGULO ROJO (6) doesn't boast the best winning strike rate but ran a strong race last time out, finishing second and beaten only 2 lengths over 1106m at this track (Dirt). Has the ability to take care of this field. MOBIL MISSION (5) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1106m at this track, beaten 16 lengths. Finds the right race this time and can find winning form. STRIKE PLATE (1) didn't make an impact at his last run before going for a spell on November 18, finishing fifth and beaten 7 lengths over 1207m at Mahoning Valley (Dirt). Can make his presence felt. HIDDEN HEART (4) was beaten 4.5 lengths into fifth in a 1207m contest at this track two weeks ago. Likely improver with strong top-three prospects.

Resuming. Finished off last campaign fifth of 9 at Mahoning Valley November 18 over 1207m, 7 len behind Willie T with 56kg at $5.50. On debut sixth of 8 at this track August 7 2024 over 1207m, 11 len behind Akimbo with 54kg at $37.80. Could prove too smart for these.

Last start ran last in a small field at this track on May 6 over 1207m, 6 len behind O G Mr Brightside with 54kg at $35.60. The race before that second last in a small field at Mahoning Valley on April 10 over 1207m, 16 len behind Counting On Clyde carrying 54kg at $39.80. Finds a few better today. Can't recommend.

Recent form sound. At the latest run 2nd in a small field at this track on April 29 over 1106m, 2 len behind Sheltowees Rocket carrying 54kg at $13.10. Before that ran on from midfield and scored a big 5 len win at Mahoning Valley April 2 over 1207m defeating Big Daddy Hank with 53.5kg at $5.90. Plenty to like about his prospects.
