Thistledown Race 1 - Race 1 - Maiden Claiming
DRILIN' FOR GEMS (1) showed good early muster and fought on to finish second last start over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Well placed and there is no reason he cannot salute. VERNON'S BEST (2) resumes from a spell of five-and-a-half months and looked close to a win before that break, finishing off with a minor placing over 1207m at Mahoning Valley (Dirt). Can pick up where he left off. Rates highly and is a strong chance to take this out. FORMYBOYS (4) finished third last start over 1207m at this track (Dirt) to make it five minor placings from 14 runs. Goes well here with three top-three finishes to his credit. Has to be respected. MR SIX (3) faced the starter for the first time and finished sixth last start at this track (Dirt) over 1207m, beaten 26 lengths. Open to improvement and can feature.

Previously first up; fifth of 7 at Mahoning Valley November 30 over 1207m, 5 len behind Rivers Of Deniro with 55.5kg at $21.50. Should be right in the finish.
