Thistledown Race 3

Allowance

Stake: -

CITY SCENE (4) Folded up in the straight when 4th last start at this track. Can show a better performance this time but facing a stronger group of contenders. Will be in the finish. CLOUD STORAGE (2) Ran home strongly to win last start at this track and gets a favourable barrier. Exhibiting good form since resuming from a spell but back in trip. Solid place bet prospects. AUSTRIAN NAVY (5) Was well beaten when 6th last start at this venue. Looking for an improved run but up against a more competitive field. Will be pushing for a forward position early. One of the hopes. AZ WE SPEAK (1) Thrashed the field when winning by just over 6L last time at this venue and has drawn the rails. Erik Barbaran has been successful aboard previously. Market may be the ultimate guide for this runner.

Put a gap on the rest when winning by a margin of just over 6L last time at the track and has drawn to do little work. Prefer to watch.

Comments

Rounded them up when winning last start at this track and drawn nicely. Have to respect the recent Benny R Feliciano form but matched against tougher rivals. Stands out as good value.

Was $11.00 and hit the line well when 5th last run around here but challenged by more formidable competitors. Luis Antonio Gonzalez and Kim A Puhl are a proven combination. Will need everything to go right.

At $12.00 weakened to finish 6th last start at this track. Looking for an improved run but competing in a more challenging class. Should come to hand quickly. Can feature in this event.
