Thistledown Race 6 - Race 6 - Claiming

MIDNIGHT MIKEY (6) Ran 5th last start at this track. Expecting improvement and strong form at the distance. Has plenty of early speed. Added confidence with Luis A Rodriguez Castro doing the steering. Good chance in this event. POWERFUL PHIL (1) Faded in the late stages of the race when 2nd beaten by 3 1/2L last start at the track and drawn the rails. Respect. GIV'EM THE BIZ (2) Amongst the placegetters when 2nd beaten by 1 1/2L last time at Mahoning Valley and gets a favourable draw. Keep in mind. EL MARRO (4) Placed 3rd last time around here. Has a nice turn of foot. Could fill the minors.
