Thistledown Race 4

Claiming

Stake: $36,653

DOCS LEGEND (6) stuck on well last start to finish second over 1106m at this track (Dirt) after showing good early speed. Placed to advantage so expect a forward showing. MISTER MOBIL (1) resumes today after filling a minor placing at his last appearance at Mahoning Valley (Dirt) over 1609m on December 8. Comes here with definite claims. QUIET AMIGO (2) proved too strong last start and scored by half a length over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Boasts six wins here. Should camp just off the leaders. One of the main contenders. SAMMY'S SMILE (5) was in contention on the turn and finished third last time over 1207m at this track (Dirt) when resuming from a spell, beaten 6 lengths. Placed to advantage and can run a bold race.
