Thistledown Race 5 - Race 5 - Claiming

RAISE THE PURSES (3) improved sharply on his fifth two starts back at this track (Dirt) with a win as favourite over 1609m at this track (Dirt) nine days ago, getting home by 1.3 lengths after being prominent at the corner. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat again in this suitable race. GOLDEN MONEY (4) proved too strong last start and scored by 1.5 lengths over 1106m at this track (Dirt). Has four wins here. Should park just off the speed. Expected to be in the finish. FIRSTHAND JUSTICE (1) comes here off a break of four-and-a-half months. Scored over 1207m at Mahoning Valley at the start of last prep. Sure to make his presence felt. LUNCHATTHELIZARD (6) turned in a strong performance first-up when in the money at this track but disappointed last time when eighth, beaten 18 lengths, at this track (Dirt) over 1106m. Well placed and should be thereabouts.
