Thistledown Race 1 - Race 1 - Claiming

FRANCO (2) was well in commission last start over 1609m at this track (Dirt) when second, beaten 5 lengths. T Houghton stays on. Should be hard to stop. ROYAL AIR FORCE (4) bounced back last start and got the job done by a nose over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Likely to be there at the finish again. MR LAOBAN (1) lines up for the hat-trick after registering a strong win last time over 1609m at this track (Dirt), scoring by half a length. Has a high cruising speed. Will give backers a great sight. ORO DE MORO MORO (8) did a great job to score by half a length over this course and distance last start in a much improved run. The engagement of Angel I Diaz is a positive move. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run.
