Thistledown Race 4 - Race 4 - Claiming

CLASSIC RICHIE (6) doesn't win out of turn, scoring just once from 10 starts. Again tasted defeat last start when fifth over 1106m at this track, beaten 12 lengths. Finds an easier assignment and can take this out. TIZ RUDDY BEN (4) is a four-year-old entire who is having his first run for the Jeffrey Skerrett barn. Hasn't raced since finishing fifth at Gulfstream Park (Synthetic) seven months ago. Not seen at the trials but looks nicely placed. Among the leading chances. HEART OF AN ANGEL (5) finds it hard to win with just one success from 16 starts. Again tasted defeat last start when fourth over 1609m at this track, beaten 9 lengths. Best figures measure up nicely. Makes plenty of appeal. VIVA VICTORY (3) was in contention on the turn and finished second last start at the first run back from a spell over 1207m at this track (Dirt), beaten 1.75 lengths. Likely improver with winning claims.
