Thistledown Race 8

Mdn Special Weight

Stake: $60,026

DELTA MARIE (7) First time at the races 3yo by Biondetti for trainer Kim A Puhl. Luis Antonio Gonzalez rates highly aboard. Watch the market moves. NATIVE LUCCI (2) Just shy of the win last time at this venue and has a good draw. Showing improvement in recent outings. No surprise to see a forward showing and one of the main hopes in this race. OAK MIRNA (3) Managed to place 3rd beaten by nearly 12L last start around here. Expected to be flashing home. Can go on with it. O SUGAR SUGAR (1) First up from a spell. Couldn't keep the pace going when 3rd last start around here and gets a favourable draw. Shows good early pace. Can get the job done.

Resuming after a spell. Although being overrun still placed 3rd beaten by close to 10L last start at the track and drawn well. Has plenty of early speed. Right in the mix.

Narrowly beaten last time at this venue and will try to take advantage of the draw. Form has been improving over recent runs. Definite claims.

At $5.50 looked outclassed when 5th last start around here and dropping back to a shorter trip. Won't be far away during the run. Not in this.

First up from a break of 30 weeks. Was $23.00 and tailed off to finish 8th last start at Mahoning Valley but fitter for debut run. Expecting to settle positively. Highly unlikely it will trouble the judge.
