Thistledown Race 4 - Race 4 - Mdn Claiming
PROUD WORDS (7) Resuming after a break. Underperformed when 6th last start at the track. Capable of bouncing back. Will be positive in the run early. Can get the job done . AIR SAHARA (6) Didn't threaten when 4th last start at this venue. Giving another chance here. Luis Antonio Gonzalez and Kim A Puhl have a high strike rate together. Must be considered. VADORA (1) Backs up quickly. Weakened under pressure when 6th last run at this venue. Has the ability to turn things around and gets a favourable draw. Coming back in trip. Has to be included. CHARISMA IN MOTION (4) Close to claiming the win last time at this venue. Has a nice turn of foot. Should be competitive in this race at a bit of odds.

First up from a break. Odds of $43.00 and disappointing display when 7th last time at Tampa Bay Downs but has a positive draw. Change in trainer. Much prefer the look of others in this race.
