Pleasanton Race 5 - Race 5 - Claiming

THUNDER OF ZION (4) showed good early speed and raced on the pace last start before fading to finish fourth, beaten 2.5 lengths, over 1207m at Golden Gate Fields (Synthetic). Likely to measure up. IMPLICITLY (2) missed the frame last time when fourth at Golden Gate Fields. Prior to that had been in the money on two consecutive occasions. Better than the last effort and is a winning chance. JERRY JEFF WALKER (7) made progress last time out, finishing 4 lengths from the winner in third at the end of 1106m at Golden Gate Fields. Going up a level this time but he is good enough to play a major role. BIG DON'S SMILING (3) turned in a much better effort last time out to score by 3 lengths over 1106m at Golden Gate Fields (Synthetic). Looks well placed so expect another big run.

Form hard to fault. Comes here off a 42-day let-up. Last start 4th of 10 at Golden Gate Fields on May 12 over 1609m, 1.75 len behind Sea Of Liberty carrying 56kg at $8.20. Before that 2nd of 8 at Golden Gate Fields on April 21 over 1609m, 0.8 len behind Original with 56kg at $12.20. No surprise if he was in the finish.

Useful type. Most recently favourite; tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; scored a big 3 len win at Golden Gate Fields June 2 over 1106m defeating Titos With A Twist carrying 56.5kg at $3.10. The run before that second last of 9 at Golden Gate Fields on April 20 over 1207m, 10 len behind Driver's Ed carrying 56.5kg at $16.30. Won last start and is well-placed again.
