Thistledown Race 4

Claiming

Stake: -

ILIKETHAT (2) Attacked the line when 2nd last time here and suited at this distance in the past. In top form since coming back from a spell and drawn nicely. Massive hope. OLLIE'S FOLLY (5) Controlled the pace when winning by 1 1/2L last run here but competing at a higher level of competition. Displays good tactical speed. Can go on with it. SOCIAL HISTORY (8) Finished 4th last time here. Looking for an improved run but competing in a higher grade. Can get the job done. OKLAHOMA JOE (3) Lost ground in the run home when 4th last run here. Expecting improvement here but down in distance. Likely to be well placed early. Humberto Haldar rates highly aboard. Can push an each way bet for it.

Overtook some late when 5th last time around here and will appreciate a good gate. Will be motoring home late. Up against a more competitive field. Place best.

Kept running on late when 2nd last time at the track and ideal distance as proven previously. Jockey Alexander Chavez is an asset and gets a favourable gate. Holds a major chance.

Started $4.50 and faded to finish 4th last run here. Expecting improvement here but challenged by more formidable competitors. Should muster plenty of early toe. Will be down in distance. Nice chance at a very tempting price.

Made every post a winner when winning by 1 1/2L last run here but matched against tougher rivals. Has good tactical speed and will be nicely positioned. Solid claims.
