Thistledown Race 5 - Race 5 - Starter Optional Claiming

ROCK ROSE (1) made it two wins in succession last start when she scored by one length over 1308m at Charles Town (Dirt). Likely to be in the finish again. AUSTRIAN NAVY (8) was well in commission when resuming last start over 1207m at this track (Dirt) when third, beaten 3.5 lengths. Sound record at this distance with three wins and nine minor placings from 16 runs and is sure to play a big role. EPICUREAN (5) showed good speed here last time over 1207m until tiring late and finishing fourth, beaten 8 lengths. L A Batista who has scored on her eight times retains the mount. Sure to be competitive. LA CUMPARSITA (2) built on a nice second two starts back at this track (Dirt) with success over 1609m at this track (Dirt) a week-and-a-half ago, getting home by a nose. Has her share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race.

Going well. Most recently won by a nose at this track June 22 over 1609m defeating Fiona with 56kg at $3.90. The start before that 2nd in a small field at this track on June 3 over 1207m, 2.25 len behind Princess Halime carrying 55kg at $3.40. Rates highly and is among the main hopes.

Recent form sound. Resumes off a 30 day let-up. At the latest run in a small field at this track on June 3 over 1207m, 8 len behind The Sweaty Fox with 56kg at $6. The race before that 2nd in a small field at this track on May 22 over 1106m, nose behind Miss Shady carrying 56kg at $1.50. Better than that recent plain performance suggests.
