Thistledown Race 1 - Race 1 - Claiming
HALF BIRTHDAY (6) Made considerable ground when 2nd last run at Mahoning Valley. Luis Antonio Gonzalez and Valerie K Shanyfelt are a duo to watch closely. Respect in this event. DANCE STEP (1) Resuming after a spell of 28 weeks. Faded away to finish 5th last time at Mahoning Valley. Looking past the last run and drawn the rails. Worth consideration. SABELLE (4) Didn't find the line when 6th last start at Mahoning Valley. Capable of bouncing back. Will be positive in the run early. Solid each way claims. THEODOROPOULOS (2) Couldn't maintain the pace when 6th last time at this track. Should improve and has a good draw. Roberto A Perez is a suitable booking. Should race on the speed. Won't be far away.
