Thistledown Race 8 - Race 8 - Claiming

INTO GOLD (3) progressed nicely last time out to finish just 0.3 lengths from the winner in second over 1207m at this track after being in the firing line on the corner. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. SERENDIPITOUS (2) did a great job to score by one length over this course and distance last start in a much improved run. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot repeat the dose. POWERFUL PHIL (4) continued the good recent form when he finished just one length away in third last time out over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Commendable record at this trip with a win and 11 minor placings and should play a prominent role. BISCUITS AND GRITS (5) is fitter for two runs back from a spell, progressing nicely last time to finish second, beaten one length, at this track (Dirt) over 1106m. Sound record at this distance with two wins and eight minor placings from 14 runs and is not to be discounted.
