Thistledown Race 8 - Race 8 - Starter Optional Claiming

SWEEPING GIANT (3) was far from disgraced after being in contention on the bend to finish 2 lengths away in second last start over 1609m at this track. That followed a first-up win at this track. Has started two times at this course and distance and is yet to miss the placings. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. KADESH (4) displayed plenty of early toe and went on to score by 2 lengths last time out over 1609m at this track (Dirt). Well placed and there is no reason he cannot salute. SWING LOW (5) ran below expectations last time at Gulfstream Park (Turf), finishing seventh and beaten 7 lengths starting at $4.50. Faces an easier assignment so he is set to turn things around. HAMMERIN AAMER (6) finished third last start over 1609m at Evangeline Downs following a run of two wins on end.

Going well. Most recently came from midfield and won by 2 len at this track June 3 over 1609m defeating Sweeping Giant with 54kg at $7.40. The run before that rolled along in front then was edged out late 2nd of 7 at this track on April 22 over 1609m, 0.3 len behind Ice Blast carrying 55kg at $3.30. Can get the job done again.
